I leave you with clarity about what to do next, who should own it and what could get in the way.
The kind of change people remember.
The best measure of our work is what happens after it. Here's what leaders say about working with Dan.
Getting Dan into your school to speak for one hour will transform your teachers’ way of thinking. It will be the best PD you do all year.
Dan’s keynote woke us up to the urgency of embracing AI in education and challenged us to grab the opportunity with both hands. He certainly has left a lasting impression on our entire education service.
Dan’s balanced view of the use of AI takes tools that could be intimidating and makes them much more approachable and useful for practicing educators.
This was the first PD that my staff walked away from excited about! We had email and text chains that began immediately as staff discovered new resources. He was excellent!
Dan’s expertise is second to none, and his enthusiasm has empowered our teachers to want to be at the forefront of AI driven learning.
Dan Fitzpatrick offers a bold and transformative vision for the future of learning in the AI era.
Dan made AI, a topic I was a bit fearful of, fun and accessible. He gave us lots of practical thoughts and ideas, which I am excited to try out now.
Your contribution was perfect and sparked a lot of really interesting discussion, which was exactly what we were hoping for.

AI is changing work faster than we are adapting. What does that mean for jobs, skills, education, human judgment and the future of work?
Microsoft Offers Schools Enforceable AI Guardrails
Microsoft and the AFT want school districts to put AI safety and privacy promises into enforceable contracts. Here is what the proposal does and does not do.
Schools Ban AI For Students While Teachers Get It Free
New York Public Schools and Los Angeles Unified School District remove students' access to AI. What does it all mean?
AI for School Leaders
Visit AI for School LeadersWhat Should You Report to Governors About AI?
Most AI items on a board agenda inform governors without ever letting them govern. Here is a four-line board paper, a test to run over it before you send it, and three things boards are currently being told that the source documents do not support.
Who Owns AI in a Multi-Academy Trust or School District?
Ask twelve heads in one trust who approves a new AI tool and you get four answers. The trust owns the decisions that must be the same everywhere; each school owns the rest. Here is the test that sorts them, and the four a trust cannot delegate.
Who Should Sit on Your School's AI Steering Group?
Most school AI groups are assembled from job titles and goodwill. The ones that decide anything are seated from the decisions the school owes an answer to. Five seats, a test to run before the second meeting, and terms of reference you can write in five lines.

Only two of these seven do the job most teachers mean by “make a lesson video.” Seven tools sorted into the four jobs hiding inside that request, with prices and privacy positions read from each vendor's own pages on September 24, 2026, and a three-question consent test for any video a student appears in.
AI Tools That Work With Google Classroom: 6 Picks and the 4 Levels of Integration
Only two of these six AI tools import your Google Classroom roster and send grades back to the gradebook. The other four stop short, and the Google integration on one of the best-known tools turns out to be a login. Six compared on what the integration does, with pricing checked on September 23, 2026 and the data-hosting gaps named.
AI Tools for School Office Staff: 7 Picks for Attendance Letters, Records Requests and Family Messages
Seven AI tools for the school front office, sorted by the job: attendance letters, meeting minutes, records requests and the questions families ask forty times a week. Every price checked September 22, 2026, and the student-record limits named.
AI for Parents
Visit AI for ParentsDo Teachers Use AI to Grade My Child's Work?
Gallup found that 2 percent of US teachers use AI daily to grade or give feedback and 7 percent weekly. The number that matters more is 58 percent: the share who have been given no guidance on it at all. What the evidence says, and what to ask your child's school.
How to Tell If Your Child Used AI for Homework
You mostly cannot tell from the homework itself, and the tools sold to catch AI writing miss more than parents expect. What works instead is one question, asked at the kitchen table, that checks the learning rather than the text.
How to Block AI Apps on Your Child's iPhone, and What It Will Not Cover
Blocking a named AI app on an iPhone takes about two minutes. The harder part is everything the block does not cover, because most of the AI your child meets was never installed by anybody.
