MGpts To Assist You

One of the ways I use AI is as a thought partner and a way to quickly review information I've gathered and put together. Below are four tools that may be useful. The most useful one for the purpose of my sessions at TCEA 2025? The Evidence-Based Teaching Coach. It combines evidence-based strategies for teaching, learning, and coaching. It incorporates several coaching models and can assist coaches and teachers in working through, creating formative assessments, planning out learning, generating activities, and more. It also has access to the full library of my presentations at TCEA 2025, and you can query it about that information.
