I’m Angela Watson, and I founded the original 40 Hour Teacher Workweek program in 2015.
My courses have now helped over 60,000 teachers find more effective, efficient, and enjoyable ways to approach their work…and in recent years, we’ve begun training instructional coaches and administrators, too!
As a National Board Certified Teacher with a masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction, over a decade of classroom teaching experience, and nearly two decades as an instructional coach…I know educational best practices.
I’ve been supporting teachers through my books, podcast, courses, articles, PD, and other resources for over 20 years (since founding my website, TruthforTeachers.com, in 2003.)
I’m proud to be a long-trusted source for teaching advice, and a knowledgable guide through the rapidly-changing world of artificial intelligence.
Over the next few years, AI will transform every aspect of the way schools operate, and it’s imperative for educators to get out ahead of the trends. ensure the changes are what’s best for teachers and kids.
We don’t need tech billionaires making decisions about AI in education: we need informed classroom teachers (who understand pedagogy and their students) to be the leaders of change.
If you want to have a voice in how AI is used in your school, feel informed about new developments, and use AI in ways that make your teaching more effective and efficient, 40 Hour AI can help.
