Educators are no strangers to overwhelming workloads. From endless lesson planning and admin to keeping up with emails and data collection, the job can often feel never-ending. Add to that the constant stream of headlines about teacher burnout, and it’s no wonder many staff feel stuck in a cycle of stress and exhaustion. But what if we could shift the narrative and the day-to-day reality by using new tools in smarter, more intentional ways?

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked-about innovations right now. Much of the conversation has centered on how students might use (or misuse) AI, but there’s an equally important question we need to ask: how can AI help teachers and leaders manage their workload, reclaim time, and support staff wellbeing?

 

In this episode, I am joined by Amy Green, thriving strategist, speaker, educator, author and founder of The Wellness Strategy. Amy shares her practical insights on how schools can embrace AI thoughtfully to lighten the load, improve collaboration and create space for genuine wellbeing practices to flourish. 

 

In this episode, we cover:
How AI can be a“team member” to streamline planning, emails, meeting notes and admin
Practical examples of AI reducing repetitive tasks so teachers can focus on collaboration and creativity
The importance of using AI with discernment, debate and discussion, not as a replacement, but as an accelerator
How schools can identify unique workload pain points and explore AI as a strategic solution
The mindset and skills educators need to use AI effectively and responsibly
How saving time with AI can be reframed as an opportunity to prioritise wellbeing, not add more work
