Teachers Have Bigger Fish to Fry: Can AI Help?, with Maurie Beasley

Teachers Have Bigger Fish to Fry: Can AI Help?, with Maurie Beasley Educators are juggling more than ever, from administrative overload to emotional demands, and finding time for new innovations feels impossible. In this episode, we sit down with Maurie Beasley, an educator, counselor, tech administrator, and author, to explore the crucial question: Can AI actually help? Drawing from her new book, Teachers Have Bigger Fish to Fry! Tales from K12 Education: How AI Might Help…or Maybe Not, Maurie shares honest and heartfelt stories from the classroom. Together, we explore how AI is showing up as a helpful tool and also, depending on the situation, sometimes an unfit substitute. Tune in to hear how AI is giving teachers time back—and where it still falls short in meeting the deeply human needs of students and educators alike. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.
