13. Teaching Middle Level Learners and AI with Jon Gold

15. Talking Innovation with Rhode Island Teacher of the Year Sarah Dully

Brandon sits down with Narragansett High School English and Special Education teacher Sarah Dully, and they discuss all things innovation and pedagogy. Their "yapping" (her words) included using Gemini to modify and personalize lessons, talking about the big picture of teaching, engaging all learners, and using AI to make Masters picks. "When we use AI effectively, it doesn't replace the teacher; it clears secondary tasks away so we can focus on what actually matters, the one-to-one interactions, the deep personalization of instruction, and the unshakable bonds we build with our students" You can find Sarah online on Instagram @OceanStateSTOY and on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-d-315208354
