Why I'm building partner-ready AI curricula for schools

I played football at Cal Poly SLO and SMU, graduating from Cal Poly in 2025 with my bachelor's in finance and from SMU in 2026 with my master's in MLS.
I was in college the whole time AI (ChatGPT) has been around—and I saw firsthand the discombobulation teachers faced with regulation and keeping up with how to utilize it in their teaching.
From 2022 to 2026, I watched professors struggle with an impossible question: How do we teach in a world where students have unlimited AI at their fingertips?
Some banned it outright. Others tried detection tools that didn't work. Most just felt overwhelmed—stuck between wanting to embrace innovation and needing to protect academic integrity.
Meanwhile, students were left confused. Can we use AI? How much? For what? Will we get in trouble? Nobody had clear answers.
I realized: educators don't need more panic—they need working curricula. They need assessment methods that hold up under scrutiny. They need materials they can adopt this semester, not two years from now.
That's what AI Educated delivers:
This isn't about banning AI or "catching cheaters." It's about teaching students to collaborate with AI responsibly: plan → generate → test → verify → revise → document.
If you're a curriculum director, department chair, principal, or instructional leader looking for a real solution—not another webinar—let's talk.
