The integration of AI into K–12 education is often framed as inevitable, but its impact depends on how thoughtfully it is designed and applied. This edWeb podcast situates AI within a historical and research-based context, examining both its potential and its limitations within classroom education. Drawing on principles of learning science, we discuss how AI can support evidence-based instruction while avoiding common pitfalls such as bias, over-reliance on automation, and loss of teacher agency. We bring these principles into practice by demonstrating examples that integrate assessment and classroom instruction. Listeners leave with a nuanced understanding of how to evaluate AI solutions critically and implement them in ways that prioritize student learning and educator expertise. This edWeb podcast is of interest to elementary and middle school teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.
