This is the first in a two-part series featuring a conversation with three secondary educators on how AI is reshaping classroom practice. Dennis and Kristina, co-authors of AI in the Writing Workshop, join Marilyn, author of several Heinemann titles including her latest, 5 Questions for Any Text. Their collective thinking and writing dovetail beautifully to address this pivotal moment in education, as AI becomes an increasingly prevalent tool in classrooms. Together, they share how they’re integrating AI with intention and transparency—from delaying its use early in the school year to modeling how to question and push back against AI-generated output.
