AI With a Heart

Dr. Andrew Taylor, Director of Technology and Innovation, joins Adam and Carl for one of the most important discussions of the season. Not about devices. Not about dashboards. About student mental wellness and why schools can no longer afford to treat it as an “add-on.”This episode explores:Why student mental health is the most urgent issue facing schools todayHow AI can be used to support emotional regulation rather than replace human connectionWhat an “emotional management system” could look like in K-12How teachers can get meaningful, usable insight without drowning in dataWhy emotional regulation, resilience, and kindness may matter more than another test scoreThere is humor. There are moments that hit hard. And there is a powerful reframe of AI not as a time-saver, but as a tool to help educators know where their time matters most.If you care about student wellness, responsible AI, or keeping school human in a rapidly changing world, this episode is a must-listen.
