Education consulting · PK‑12, higher ed & teacher preparation

I help educators use AI without shortcutting learning.

I’m Dr. Jen Lisy, teacher educator, Human-First AI Faculty Fellow, and literacy researcher. I help teachers, faculty, leaders, and community groups build AI practice that starts with pedagogy instead of tools, keeps a human in the loop, and holds up under real classroom pressure, not just in theory.

Invited speaker, AACTE Leadership Academy · Human-First AI Faculty Fellow, Ohio University · Presented at all five OU regional campuses
