Build the AI tool that tells you the truth instead.
In 3 days. Bring teaching artifacts you know can be better.
Type "review my lesson plan" into any AI tool you have. You'll get a paragraph of polite feedback. Great structure. Consider more engagement. Maybe add a hook. None of it is anything you can use on Monday.
That's because you're asking AI to evaluate. You should be asking it to convene some of the biggest minds in pedagogy, learning science, behavioral science and related disciplines and let them argue about your work in their own voices. Piaget on whether students are building cognitive structures. Hirsch on whether they're learning specific knowledge. Freire on whose voice your lesson centers and whose it erases. Hattie demanding the effect size on your favorite tactic. They will not agree. The fight is the entire point.
"A panel that fights about your lesson plan is more useful than an AI that compliments it."
Dr. Doan Winkel Director of the Entrepreneurship Program, John Carroll University
A custom AI tool that runs in whatever app your school has. Nineteen named education thinkers. Seven opposing camps. Built to disagree, then converge.
Real published thinkers. Piaget, Vygotsky, Kolb. Bowen, Pink, the Heath brothers. Brooks, Robinson, Godin, Dintersmith, Rose. Waitzkin, Horn. Freire, hooks. Hirsch, Christodoulou, Hattie. Each in their actual voice.
Theorists. Practitioners. Behavioral scientists. System critics. Mastery thinkers. Liberation pedagogues. Naysayers. Each camp checks the others. The fight is the entire point.
One board lens for lesson plans. One for rubrics. One for assignments. Same 19 advisors. Three different sets of questions. Each tuned to surface a different kind of failure.
Custom agent or saved prompt, running in your AI tool. One board for lesson plans, one for rubrics, one for assignments. All 19 advisors in each.
Multi-round fight protocol completed on a real lesson you're teaching this week. Synthesis report with non-negotiables, contested decisions, and the uncomfortable question the board wants you to answer.
Calendar events created. Accountability partner from the room. Two scheduled check-ins. The week becomes a habit, or it doesn't. The plan decides which.
We build for the tool you have, not the tool we wish you had. Custom GPTs, Gemini Gems, Copilot Agents, or a saved-prompt template that works in any AI tool on any device. You leave with a working board on the platform you actually use.
Required: a paid account on whatever AI tool you use. Free tiers don't have the agent or context features the board needs. ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Pro, Microsoft 365 Copilot, or Claude Pro will all work. Bring the one your school approves.

This workshop is the one I'd want to take if I were teaching high school today.
No. We start at the basics and move fast. By Day 1 lunch you'll know more about practical AI workflows than 90% of the teachers in your building.
Yes. We build for any AI tool your school approves. ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Pro, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Claude Pro all work. Day 1 has a track for tools that support custom agents (Custom GPTs, Gemini Gems, Copilot Agents) and a track for tools where you'll use a saved-prompt template instead. Both end with a one-click board. You do need a paid tier on your tool of choice.
No coding. No settings. No IT setup. You'll paste prompt blocks into your AI tool, then paste your lesson plans into the board. If you can copy and paste, you can run the board.
You will by Day 1 lunch. We hand you a one-page reference to all 19 advisors with what each one believes, the questions they ask, and the blind spot every other advisor uses against them. By Day 3 you'll know who you trust most and who you fight with hardest. Both matter.
Yes, but not on Day 4. We give you a special handout for swapping advisors with rules so you don't accidentally tilt your board. Most teachers shouldn't swap anyone for the first 30 days. The advisor you'd cut on Day 4 is often the one whose feedback you most need on Day 30.
Check with your district's PD office. The workshop runs 12 contact hours, which translates to 3 CEUs in most Ohio districts. We provide a certificate of completion the same day.
Full refund up to 7 days before the workshop. Within 7 days, your seat is transferable to another teacher. Once Day 1 starts, no refunds. The seat is yours, used or not.
Yes. The board adapts to any high school discipline. The personas you cast are grounded in YOUR students, so the board catches subject-specific failure modes that a generic workshop never could.
When this workshop fills, the next one is months away. The students you're teaching this fall don't have months.

You can keep asking AI to compliment your lesson plan. Or you can convene 19 of education's biggest minds and let them argue about it. The students you teach in September deserve the version that survived the fight.
