E20 Jamey Hill on Creating a Human-Centered AI Framework for Schools

In this episode, Brett sits down with veteran educator and virtual school leader Jamey Hill to deconstruct the process of building an AI implementation plan from scratch. Jamey shares her journey from being a Montessori-inspired teacher who believed "the hand is the tool that feeds the brain" to becoming a leader in shaping how schools can responsibly integrate artificial intelligence.

The conversation moves from the initial overwhelming phase of "tool collecting" to the creation of a thoughtful, three-part framework: Define, Evaluate, and Integrate. Jamey provides a practical blueprint for other school leaders and teachers, emphasizing the need to start with core human values, create flexible "guidances" instead of rigid policies, and focus on AI literacy as an equity issue. This is a must-listen for any educator feeling stuck or unsure of how to begin their school's AI journey.
