Leveraging AI for Human-Centered Learning provides intentional approaches to the integration of artificial intelligence tools into middle and high school classrooms, specifically to foster equity and social-emotional wellbeing. The overlap of AI with today?s schools poses pivotal questions about ethics, morality, inclusion, and human learning at a time when students are already reckoning with public health crises, systemic injustice, and other connected challenges. This book helps teachers examine the pros and cons of artificial intelligence?as used by both educators and students?as well as its implications for meaningful culturally responsive teaching and social-emotional learning efforts. Featuring activities, lesson plans, and discussion and writing prompts for use with adolescent learners, each chapter offers concrete pedagogical approaches and instructional innovations that align technological changes with learning objectives in ways that advance, rather than replace or neutralize, attention to equity and well-being.

?As we move forward, the content in this book offers the opportunity to embrace and think interdisciplinary in the content provided in teaching and learning. In doing so, students gain computational skills and become better problem solvers in an AI world. Rather than avoid or ban AI tools in the classroom, rich interactions, discussions and problem solving can lend themselves to address societal and community needs. These interactions can offer teachers and educators the opportunities to include issues of ethical and responsible AI uses in the classroom.?

?This book provides educators with a thoughtful and practical framework for integrating AI tools into culturally responsive teaching and social-emotional learning (SEL). Importantly, his book goes beyond surface-level technology integration, addressing the equity issues tied to AI access, while offering concrete strategies to enhance middle and high school English Language Arts and History courses?highlighting both the perils and promises that this ubiquitous technology brings. This guide empowers teachers to use AI as a tool to deepen human connections, foster cross-cultural communication, and support emotional growth in the classroom, highlighting how AI can complement?not replace?the critical relational aspects of teaching. A highly recommended book for educators, pre-service teachers, and professional development experts seeking equity-oriented applications of AI in education.?

?Leveraging AI for Human-Centered Learning offers educators a thoughtful roadmap for navigating the rise of artificial intelligence in the classroom without losing sight of what makes learning profoundly human. As schools embrace AI?s potential, this book ensures that students? social-emotional growth and cultural identities remain at the heart of teaching. Through practical strategies and critical insights, Dr. Marlee S. Bunch and Brittany R. Collins empower educators to leverage AI tools in ways that deepen connection, foster equity and uphold the essential human elements of education in an ever-evolving digital landscape.?

?What makes teachers so important is their adaptability. Through pandemics, new approaches, and a changing political landscape that warp classroom teaching (past and present), teachers have stuck it out. The teachers I have gotten to know at this stage in my life, as a high school senior, have shaped me in a multitude of ways. They?ve shown me the role of empathy, hard work, sticktoitiveness, irony, disillusionment, and honesty in learning inside and outside of the classroom. I or anyone else can?t surely determine what direction academia will go in with regard to AI, but I do know that as long as teachers such as Dr. Bunch and Ms. Collins, among many others, are as focused and passionate as before, students are in good hands. At least as long as evil robots don?t attack.?

?Cameron Alleyne, student, from the afterword
