This episode dives straight into the conversation every educator and leader needs right now: How AI is reshaping coaching, leadership, and the way we build an Innovator’s Mindset in schools.

Becca sits down with George Couros, world-recognized educator and author of The Innovator’s Mindset, to unpack how AI can support real human-centered leadership instead of replacing it. Together, they explore how AI can fuel curiosity, deepen critical thinking, and expand teacher and student agency when used with intention.

You’ll hear George break down:

• Why innovation is not about technology, but about creating “new and better” ways of learning
• How leaders can build ownership by giving real choice and voice
• How AI tools like ChatGPT can save hours of time while strengthening reflection, planning, and connection
• Why discernment is now a core skill for educators
• How teachers and leaders can model meaningful AI use before bringing it to students
• What the rise of AI search means for school leadership, professional learning, and even hiring

This conversation mixes practical AI strategies, mindset shifts, and real talk about the skills educators and students need in a world where information is easy... but wisdom isn’t. If you’re a coach, teacher leader, or administrator wanting to use AI without losing the human heart of your work, this episode is your new favorite.
