AI that teaches, not AI that does the work

The workshop

A hands-on professional development workshop, two to four hours, on-site at your building. It teaches your teachers to flip AI from doing the work to coaching the student through it. Teachers work in the tool they actually have in front of them, whether that is Copilot, Gemini, or MagicSchool, not a demo account they will never see again. The method is about how you instruct the AI, not which tool you bought, and it gets more out of the licenses you already pay for before anyone spends a dollar on something new.

Teachers leave with the method and a workbook they keep, not a list of prompts they forget by Friday.

What your teachers walk out able to do

• Set up the AI tools your district already owns so they back the teacher up instead of handing students answers.
• Build a guided assistant that walks a student through a problem instead of giving the answer away.
• Design assignments that use AI to deepen thinking rather than replace it.
• Tell the difference between a student thinking alongside AI and a student handing it the work.

Your AI policy made a promise. This is the training that delivers it.

Ohio now requires every district to adopt a board-approved AI policy. The policy is the easy half. This workshop is the implementation: the human training that turns the words on paper into what actually happens in classrooms.

It fits inside your security posture instead of adding to it. I train people. I do not add a tool, host a model, or touch student data. Everything happens inside the contracted, vetted tools you already approved. And the federal Title II-A money most districts already control is meant for teacher professional development, so a workshop plus follow-up coaching can fit a budget you already have rather than a new line item or a board ask.

Career-tech too, not just core classrooms

The method works the same in an English class and a welding lab. For career-tech programs, Ron co-builds guided AI tutors side by side with your instructors: they bring the trade knowledge, he brings the AI instruction layer, and the tutor that makes a student reason out why the weld failed is the thing you build together.

Who delivers it

Ron Hampton. Fourteen years in the Army as a Cavalry Scout, trained in adult-learning instruction at the Army's NCO Academy, with a completed Computer Science degree, and local to Bethel. He brings the AI implementation layer. Your educators bring the classroom. The workshop is the handshake between the two.
