Shift the Entry Point: Redesigning Teaching and Learning for the Age of AI

Teaching has not been replaced. It has been relocated. Artificial intelligence has changed where learning begins. Students no longer face a blank page. They start with a draft, an answer, a suggestion, or a summary already on the screen. What they need now is not less guidance, but better guidance. In Shift the Entry Point, Dr. Mormando shows teachers and school leaders how to redesign teaching and learning for the age of AI without losing the human core of the profession. Blending classroom stories, research, and practical tools, this book gives educators a clear path from uncertainty to confidence. Readers will learn how to: • Distinguish between AI that amplifies thinking and AI that replaces it • Redesign assignments for deeper reasoning and voice • Build classroom cultures where students use AI transparently and responsibly • Protect the timeless skills of analysis, communication, and judgment • Lead staff, students, and communities through meaningful AI adoption This is not a book about technology. It is a book about teaching well when technology rewrites the starting line. View Less
