Are We Teaching Students, or Just Training AI Models? With Tony Frontier

Description: On this episode of The School Leaders Project, host Cindy Blackburn sits down with author and education thought leader Tony Frontier to explore what it really means to use AI with intention in schools.
Together, they dig into some of the most urgent questions facing educators today:
What happens when AI tools become embedded in every part of the teaching and learning cycle? Are we empowering learners, or just automating the system? And how can school leaders ensure AI supports deeper learning rather than undermining it?
Tony shares powerful insights from his book AI with Intention, including:
- Why AI is a mirror, not a problem
- How shallow grading practices can lead to an “AI vicious cycle”
- What effective prompting reveals about student agency
- How to use AI as an empathy coach and planning partner
- Why transformational change starts with clarity of purpose
If you're a teacher, curriculum leader, or school administrator wrestling with AI adoption, this conversation offers a timely, practical, and deeply human take on how to move forward with confidence and conscience.
