We talk with Phil Lupton about teacher-centred AI and why the real win is consistent, evidence-based coaching rather than flashy lesson generation.
We explore how AI can strengthen professional judgement, protect teacher time, and create better conversations between teachers, coaches, and leaders.
• The pedagogical gap in international schools and why shared language matters
• How myths and habits shape classroom practice across different systems
• Evidence-based teaching foundations including memory, working memory, safety, and feedback
• Why unguided AI tools can reproduce bad ideas at scale
• The risk of new teachers relying on AI without knowing what “good” looks like
• What AI coaching analyses and what it should not judge
• How video analysis can support richer instructional coaching conversations
• Psychological safety, trust, and leadership responsibility when recording lessons
• The thinking behind Learnalize and scaling better practice across schools.
