Dr. Athena Stanley argues educators should focus on where AI meaningfully fits into curriculum and assessment rather than whether it belongs, citing Gallup and RAND findings that many teachers and students already use AI and that it may save roughly six weeks of teacher time annually. She outlines five practical domains—curriculum planning, assessment feedback, differentiation, digital literacy, and professional growth—and urges clear expectations, transparency, and boundaries to protect academic integrity.
