The 7 Stages of Grief When You Hear “Robot Teachers Are Coming” (Because WHAT?!) [Ep 291]

from Brave New Teaching: A Podcast for High School and Middle School Teachers

Okay but… are we really talking about robot teachers right now?! Because when I first saw that headline, I laughed, fully assuming it was an early April Fool’s joke. And then I realized… oh, we’re being serious. In this episode, I walk through my very real 7 stages of grief after hearing robots might be stepping into education, from laughing it off to spiraling to getting genuinely fired up, and what comes after all of that. Because at the end of the day, no robot is replacing the human side of this job! I’m sharing what’s still in our control as we keep showing up for our students in a world that feels a little chaotic right now.Resources:Watch BNT episodes on YouTube!Shop Our Faves.Related Episodes:Episode 279, 2026 Will Bring Uncomfortable Shifts, and That's a Really Good Thing - BNT Team MeetingEpisode 289, Warm Demander Strategies and Our Latest Book Obsessions - BNT Team MeetingEpisode 290, The World is on Fire!
