Somewhere along the way, teaching stopped feeling like yours. That's why you downloaded this guide—not for another tool, but for a way back. The Starter Guide is your first step. But it's only the first step.

A few years ago, I was grading essays at 11 PM—again. Six preps, none of them feeling like my best work. I wasn't creating anymore. I was just producing.

I'd tried AI before. Got generic junk. Gave up.

Then I figured something out: the problem wasn't AI. The problem was that nobody had taught me how to talk to it like an educator—someone who actually cares about what they're building.

Once I developed a repeatable approach, everything changed. Not because AI did my job. Because it gave me the mental space to do my job the way I used to—with intention, with creativity, with something that felt like mine again.

That's what I want for you.
