The Teacher's AI Update
Quarterly personalized AI briefings tailored to your subject, grade level, and school. Plus in-person St. Louis events with peers who teach the same thing you do.
What this is
A personalized AI update delivered quarterly to each teacher — tailored to their subject, grade level, and school. Not a mass newsletter. A 1:1 briefing that respects their time and speaks to their specific situation.
Plus two subject-specific in-person events in St. Louis each year — English teachers meet English teachers, math teachers meet math teachers.
Why teachers need this
"English teachers feeling the stress."
"We need to change... need to start with teachers first, not IT."
Teachers are isolated. AI changes every quarter. Generic PD doesn't help because every subject is different. They need ongoing, subject-specific guidance from people who understand their classroom.
What makes this different
Generic newsletter
- Same content to everyone
- "Here's what's happening in AI"
- Generic tool recommendations
- Mass email feel
Our 1:1 briefing
- Tailored to subject + school
- "Here's what matters for YOU teaching 8th grade English"
- Tools vetted against your school's policies
- Personal document, addressed to you

Personalization layers
Subject-specific
Math teachers get math content. English teachers get English content. Science teachers get science content. No generic "AI in education" fluff.
Grade-band aware
High school physics isn't middle school science. AP English isn't 6th grade ELA. The briefing reflects what you actually teach.
School-customized (school purchases)
When a school buys for all teachers, we customize every briefing with school name, faith integration (for religious schools), reference to their AI policy, and their tech stack.
How to get started
Available for individual teachers, departments, or whole schools.
