Where this job sits on the map

In the same group: 78 of 100 professions.

What changes

  1. Lesson prep and assignments for different levels take less time

  2. Students do homework with AI, so the assignments themselves and the ways of checking them are changing

  3. Teaching kids to check AI answers is becoming part of the job: the PISA 2029 assessment adds media and AI literacy

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • A lesson plan with an opening activity, an explanation and tasks at three levels
  • New versions of problems and quizzes on a topic
  • A topic explained in other words, with real-life examples
  • A draft comment on a student's work, based on the teacher's rubric
  • A note to parents or a draft of a report
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • Final grades and decisions that affect a student
  • The relationship with the class, classroom management and motivation
  • Checking facts and assignments before they reach the kids
  • Protecting student data when using AI services, in line with FERPA and your district's policy
