Practical AI literacy for thoughtful professionals and educators.

John Weaver

Fifteen years in the classroom. Twelve years studying AI.

I'm a high school English teacher in Western Massachusetts. Over the past several years I've built an AI literacy course used in my district, designed professional development on assessment in the AI era, and quietly tutored adults and educators who want to actually understand what these tools can and can't do.

My approach is calm, concrete, and grounded in real use cases — not productivity theater. Whether you're a financial advisor trying to draft sharper client communications, a parent helping a teenager think critically about ChatGPT, or a school leader trying to write a policy that ages well, the goal is the same: capability without confusion.

Sessions designed around your questions, not a generic curriculum.

01

One-on-one coaching

A 90-minute working session tailored to your role, your tools, and your actual questions. Most clients leave with concrete workflows they use the next day.

02

Small-group sessions

Couples, families, or small teams (up to six). Same depth as one-on-one, with the added benefit of seeing how others in your circle are using these tools.

03

Educator workshops

Half-day and full-day PD for schools and departments. Topics include assessment redesign, AI literacy for students, and practical classroom integration.

04

Discovery call

A free 20-minute call to talk through what you're hoping to learn and whether we're a good fit. No pressure, no pitch.
