AI or Fall Behind? Using AI to Differentiate, Support, and Empower Students
As Classroom Dynamics closes out Season 6, host Adam Todd welcomes veteran special educator and AI consultant Latashia Crenshaw for a powerful conversation about why educators can no longer afford to ignore AI in education. With 25 years of experience in special education and inclusive learning design, Latashia shares how teachers can move beyond simply learning #AI tools and begin thinking critically about accessibility, differentiation, bias, neurodiversity, and student-centered instruction.
In this episode, Adam and Latashia explore why generic prompts often lead to generic instruction, how educators can improve their prompting strategies, and what it really means to “prompt for access” instead of just asking AI to create a lesson plan. They also discuss why schools should stop banning AI and start teaching AI literacy, practical ways teachers can experiment with tools like Gemini, Copilot, and Google Notebook LM this summer, and how AI can support planning, personalization, and engagement without losing the human connection that matters most in education.
Whether you’re AI-curious, cautiously skeptical, or already experimenting in your classroom, this season finale delivers practical takeaways, honest conversation, and inspiration to help you prepare for the school year ahead — because the future of education is already here.
