AI Needs Teachers: A District Leader’s Perspective
AI headlines often talk about replacement. At Seesaw, we believe the opposite: AI needs teachers.
In this keynote session, Sara Romero-Heaps, Seesaw’s Chief Product Officer and former instructional coach, shares how Seesaw AI empowers educators while protecting what makes teaching human.
What You’ll See in the Clip:
In this short preview, you’ll see real classroom moments where AI supports—but never replaces—teachers:
- Math lesson planning in minutes: A teacher uses AI to generate a standards-aligned math task in 3 minutes (vs. 45), freeing time to meet one-on-one with a struggling student.
- Family connection across languages: An English message home is auto-translated into families’ preferred languages, with responses translated back for the teacher—building stronger school-home partnerships.
- Student reading growth with pride: A student records a reading fluency assessment, AI scores the performance, and the teacher replays the student’s success to celebrate their growth and confidence.
Each example shows how AI streamlines tasks and expands access—while teachers guide what’s best for students.
