the AI in the Classroom Starter Kit

Teachers don’t need another initiative piled on top of their already full plates. What they do need are practical, ready-to-use strategies that save time, reduce stress, and open doors to more meaningful teaching and learning.

That’s exactly why I created the AI in the Classroom Starter Kit. This resource is designed as your step-by-step guide to making AI a powerful partner in your teaching. Instead of sifting through endless tools and trying to figure out what works, the Starter Kit gives you a clear path forward. Inside, you’ll find:

• Real classroom examples show how AI can support instruction without replacing the human touch.
• Printable templates and planning guides that make it easy to apply ideas immediately.
• Pro Tips from Marcia—insider strategies I’ve tested with educators across the country.
• Resource Spotlights that highlight vetted AI tools aligned with teaching needs.
• A 90-Day AI Action Plan to help you build confidence and momentum step by step.

The AI In The Classroom Starter Kit is now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats, so you can start exploring today.

And because I know that sometimes the hardest part is simply getting started, I’ve put together a free 30-Day Challenge that pairs perfectly with the book. Each day offers a quick, classroom-ready way to try AI tools and strategies. Think of it as a jump-start companion to your Starter Kit—helping you turn ideas into action one small step at a time.

Why This Book?

AI in education is moving fast. Teachers are overwhelmed by new tools, uncertain about best practices, and wary of adding “one more thing.” The Starter Kit is designed to cut through the noise. It doesn’t overwhelm you with theory or endless app lists—it focuses on authentic classroom use cases that actually work.

With this guide in hand, you’ll learn how to:

• Save time by using AI to draft lesson plans, rubrics, and parent emails.
• Personalize instruction with AI-powered strategies that meet students where they are.
• Engage learners through authentic projects that spark curiosity and creativity.

This isn’t about replacing teachers. It’s about empowering you with tools that let you spend more time doing what matters most--connecting with students.

Inside the Starter Kit

The book is organized into three main sections, each designed to help you move from exploration to confident implementation:

1. Getting Started with AI in Education
   Understand what AI is (and isn’t), explore myths and realities, and learn guardrails for safe, responsible use.
   
2. Personalizing Learning with AI
   Practical strategies for tailoring instruction to diverse learners, with tools like Diffit.me, Llama Tutor, and more.
   
3. Building Momentum: The 90-Day Action Plan
   A structured roadmap to move from experimenting with AI to embedding it in your teaching practice—without feeling overwhelmed.
   

Each section includes templates, reflection prompts, and “Pro Tips” you can apply immediately.

The Bonus 30-Day Challenge

As a companion to the book, the free 30-Day Challenge is designed for teachers who want to dive in with short, daily actions. From testing a new tool to reflecting on classroom practices, these mini-challenges help you build confidence with AI while keeping things simple and practical.

Think of it as professional development—on your own terms. Pairing the challenge with the AI In the Classroom Starter Kit gives you both the big picture and the daily nudges to turn insight into action.
