Artificial intelligence is one of the hot topics in education right now, and we wanted to hear from someone who is both thinking deeply about it and leading in this space. That’s why Antonio Vigil is the ideal guest for this episode of the podcast.
Born and raised in North Denver, Vigil is a servant leader who has taught in, learned from, opened, transformed, and regenerated schools throughout the city and the country over the past t26 years. Across these professional experiences, he has dedicated his entire career to advocating for social change and transformation in public education through humanizing mental models and systems, culturally responsive expectations, and transformative leadership.
As the Director of Innovative Classroom Technology at Aurora Public Schools, he leverages his experience as an educator and school leader to “develop proof-of-concept projects focused on agentic and liberatory design.”
We plan to feature AI on several upcoming episodes, because it is an issue that has the potential to transform education across the globe in the coming years, in both productive and destructive ways.
