Built in a Real Classroom. Tested Every Day.
I’m a full-time first grade teacher at St. Paul City School and the founder of Eh I Tech Education LLC.
Everything shared here is grounded in real classroom experience—what works with actual students, within real constraints.
Classroom experience
Full-time first grade teacher in a diverse, mixed-level classroom
Licensed elementary educator in Minnesota and Wisconsin
Daily instruction designed around real pacing, behavior, and reading-level variability
Continuous lesson revision based on what students actually understand—not what was planned
Lesson design
Classroom-tested lesson structures refined through daily, real-time use
Student-facing tasks paired with clear teacher guidance
Materials designed to work within the realities of elementary classrooms—not ideal conditions
Built to support discussion, inquiry, and measurable growth
AI-supported instruction
AI used intentionally to support planning, differentiation, and clarity
Every AI-supported strategy tested in a live classroom setting
AI workflows guided by teacher judgment—not automation
Teacher-facing AI guidance embedded directly into lesson design
I attended Minneapolis Southwest High School during a period of institutional change, as the school moved away from Native American mascot imagery and adopted a new identity.
That transition reflected a broader conversation about representation, respect, and responsibility. It was not treated as a slogan—it was modeled through discussion, reflection, and leadership.
That experience continues to shape how I approach education today.
As artificial intelligence enters classrooms, the challenge is not simply adopting new tools—it is implementing them responsibly, with awareness of their impact on students.
Teaching decisions should reduce friction, not add complexity
Lessons should invite student thinking and respect teacher time
Tools-including AI-should support instruction, not replace it
This work is not theoretical.
It is built inside a first grade classroom—planned, taught, adjusted, and refined with students in real time.
What you see here reflects that cycle:
teach → observe → revise → improve.
