We talk with Stephanie Holt about using AI in schools in ways that genuinely improve learning, from early years self-regulation to GCSE revision and teacher planning. We argue for purposeful screen use, better homework design, fairer assessment, and a school culture where curiosity and research are safe.
• introducing AI early with supervised, age-appropriate routines
• using tools like Alexa to support self-regulation and emotional language
• balancing school device use with unregulated screen time at home
• challenging the idea of screen-free schools as a blanket solution
• improving lesson planning and teacher development with AI-supported platforms
• practical AI study workflows for older students, including rapid feedback
• supporting creativity and student agency through multiple modes of production
• redesigning homework around metacognition, choice, and reflection on prompts
• questioning whether high-stakes exams measure what matters and who they disadvantage
• moving beyond AI detection tools with drafts, dialogue, and targeted vivas
• prioritising process skills, communication, and pivotability for the world of work
• leadership creating time, resources, and psychological safety for research and change
