This week, we welcome Brett Vogelsinger, a dedicated educator with over 20 years of experience. Brett shares his insights on the importance of creative writing in the classroom. He emphasizes that the practice not only enhances students’ writing skills but also their critical thinking abilities.

The conversation takes an intriguing turn as Brett discusses his latest book, “Artful AI and Writing Instruction.” This work explores the role of artificial intelligence in education, particularly in enhancing writing instruction. Brett acknowledges the initial apprehension many educators feel towards AI and encourages them to view it as a tool for growth.

Brett’s insights are particularly valuable for school administrators and educators seeking to support literacy on their campuses. He advises administrators to encourage creative writing and provide opportunities for students to explore their interests through reading. By doing so, they can foster a supportive environment that values individual expression and critical thinking.
