In this episode of Foundations of Learning, I sit down with Jeffrey Riley, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Day of AI, to explore how AI—when used intentionally—can help teachers differentiate instruction, reduce cognitive and administrative overload, and create space for something that’s been missing from many classrooms: play, curiosity, and passion-driven learning. Jeffrey brings a hopeful, practical perspective shaped by his work with tens of thousands of educators and millions of students, helping schools adopt AI in ways that protect creativity, equity, and human connection. If you’re a teacher, parent, or school leader looking for ways to meet students where they are—without burning out—this episode will leave you encouraged and inspired.
