AI Era: Redefining Teaching and Learning
As artificial intelligence transforms how we access information, complete tasks, and define human capability, education faces a fundamental question: What should schools do when answers are no longer scarce?
In AI Era: Redefining Teaching and Learning, Paul Pu and Jim Slotta examine how AI is reshaping the purpose of schooling, the role of teachers, and the future of student learning. Moving beyond fear or simple enthusiasm for technology, the book argues that the AI era requires a new educational compass—one grounded in human judgment, responsibility, creativity, and real-world verification.
The authors introduce the School 2.0 vision and the Anchored Learning Model, a practical framework that balances AI Literacy, Hands-on Intelligence, and Social Intelligence. Through historical analysis, classroom examples, global perspectives, and practical strategies, the book shows how schools can move beyond industrial-age models of memorization, compliance, and standardized performance toward vibrant learning communities built for an uncertain future.
Who This Book Is For
This book is written for educators, school leaders, parents, students, policymakers, and visionary leaders who are asking what learning should become in the age of AI. It is especially valuable for readers who want to understand how schools can integrate AI responsibly while protecting curiosity, critical thinking, hands-on experience, ethical judgment, and human connection.
For anyone wondering whether AI will weaken education or help renew it, this book offers both a thoughtful roadmap and a call to action.
