The future is changing in front of us. Where will our classrooms be in one year? The evolution of Artificial Intelligence has the potential to transform education, influencing the role of educators in ways big and small. As stated in Global Identifier #9, «It is important for our institutions to be spaces for educational investigation, true laboratories in innovation in teaching, from which we can draw new teaching methods or models.» Our charge as educators is to accompany students in their learning journey. How do we best do this in a constantly changing landscape?

On November 2023, the Jesuit Schools Network of North America (JSN) hosted a Virtual Ignatian Inquiry Session titled, Reimagining the Role of a Teacher with Adaptability and Purpose: Reflections from a Faculty Member Energized by AI. During the session, speaker Spencer Wagner, Mathematics & Computer Science Teacher at Regis Jesuit High School (Aurora, CO), explored the topic from the perspective of a faculty member who has worked extensively on adapting to AI in his role as a teacher and in working with his students as well as faculty colleagues.
