Portrait of an Educator in the Agentic AI Era

In this episode of Start With Questions, Kristy Lundstrom is joined by Vriti Saraf, co-founder and CEO of Ed3, and Jared Colley, Chief Innovation Officer at Mount Vernon, to explore the skill shifts reshaping education in the age of agentic AI. Together, they unpack what happens when AI can execute, produce, and iterate — and human value moves upstream toward framing, judgment, and question design. From Vriti's Portrait of an Educator project to Jared's research on cognitive debt and question architecture, this conversation cuts through the hype to ask the questions that matter most: What kinds of minds must we form when execution is abundant and framing is scarce? Whether you're a school leader, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode will challenge your assumptions and inspire your next move.
