🚨 “AI won’t replace teachers, but it will change what great teaching looks like.” 🚨
Educators are being pushed to adopt AI—but is it actually making teaching better? Too often, AI in education is used for efficiency rather than transformation, leaving teachers feeling like they’re just automating tasks instead of improving learning.
🎧 In this episode of Make It Mindful, Seth Fleischauer sits down with Vriti Saraf, founder of Ed3 DAO, to tackle the real impact of AI on teaching and learning. Instead of using AI to churn out generic lesson plans, how can educators harness it to deepen student engagement, critical thinking, and global collaboration?
Key Takeaways:
✅ AI should enhance great pedagogy, not just automate bad teaching.
✅ The danger of cognitive offloading—how relying on AI too early can weaken essential teaching and learning skills.
✅ Why first-year teachers shouldn’t start with AI-generated lesson plans—and how to integrate AI thoughtfully instead.
✅ The “City of Learning” vision: What if an entire city became a classroom, powered by AI-driven learning experiences?
✅ The Portrait of a Teacher project: How AI might redefine who teaches and how we measure great teaching.
💡 PROBLEM → SOLUTION → ACTION
AI can be an incredible tool—but only if it’s used with intention. If you’re an educator wondering how to prepare students for a world where AI is everywhere, this episode is for you.
About Today’s Guest:
Vriti Saraf is the founder of Ed3 DAO and K20 Educators, pioneering the integration of AI, digital identity, and Web3 into global education. She works at the intersection of pedagogy and emerging technology, helping schools worldwide reimagine how learning happens.

Make It Mindful: Insights for Global Learning
In this episode of Make It Mindful , Seth Fleischauer welcomes Steve Ventura, educator, author, and founder of the Achievement Teams model. They explore how reflective teaching, collective efficacy, and purposeful collaboration can transform both teacher culture and student outcomes. Ventura shares why traditional PLCs often fall short—and how his framework, rooted in evidence and emotional intelligence, gives teachers the tools to improve practice without fear. The conversation highlights the emotional challenges of teacher self-assessment, the power of root cause analysis, and the global applications of culturally responsive collaboration. Pain Point: Teachers are expected to constantly improve—but often lack the time, structure, and emotional safety to do so effectively. Solution: Achievement Teams provide a collaborative framework that supports honest reflection, shared responsibility, and mid-course corrections grounded in student data—not blame. Action: Start small. Identify one meaningful learning target, build a short-cycle assessment, and focus on what you can control. From there, build trust and clarity within your team before scaling up.

Make It Mindful: Insights for Global Learning
Many educators assume online education is inherently inferior to in-person learning—especially when it comes to student agency, academic rigor, and building a real sense of community. Teachers worry students will fall behind, become socially isolated, or struggle to self-motivate in virtual settings. Heather Rhodes, founder of Highgrove Education and former leader of Harrow School Online, proves otherwise. Her students consistently outperform their in-person peers while becoming confident, globally-minded adults. In this episode, Heather shares the key structures behind that success: • Flipped learning models that promote deeper understanding. • Cultural collaboration and rituals that foster true connection. • Executive functioning skill-building baked into the curriculum. • A values-based culture of shared academic goals and high expectations. Listen in to learn how online educators—and brick-and-mortar schools too—can build learner autonomy, nurture global citizenship, and deliver world-class academic outcomes. Plus, Heather shares how conflict transformation, small-group work, and personalized coaching create a safe and rigorous environment where students thrive. Key Topics Discussed : • How to build community in an international online school • Fostering learner autonomy and executive functioning • The flipped classroom model done right • Turning cultural differences into shared values • Why online learning might actually reduce social conflict • What kind of adults online education can uniquely produce Guest Bio : Heather Rhodes is the founder of Highgrove Education and the former leader of Harrow School Online. With over a decade of experience at the forefront of online international education, she’s known for designing high-impact models that combine academic excellence with global citizenship. Host Bio : Seth Fleischauer is the founder of Banyan Global Learning and an advocate for meaningful global learning experiences that prepare students across the globe for success in an interconnected world.

Make It Mindful: Insights for Global Learning
In this episode of Make It Mindful , Seth Fleischauer welcomes Miles Madison , an expert in literacy, SEL, and character education, to tackle a universal teacher struggle: the feeling of never having enough time. Pain Point: Teachers everywhere say, “There’s just not enough time.” But what if the issue isn’t time itself, but how it’s structured, prioritized, and used ? Too many educators are caught in cycles of inefficiency—over-planning, managing classroom disruptions, or doing tasks for students that could be built into routines. Without strong organizational systems, clear routines, and structured collaboration , learning time gets lost. Solution: Miles introduces a three-pillar framework that reclaims time without sacrificing engagement: 1. Organizational Management – Optimize classroom space and daily schedules for smoother transitions and fewer distractions. 2. Routines & Rituals – Automate repetitive tasks so students can self-manage, freeing teachers to focus on deeper instruction. 3. Collaborative Learning – Teach explicit teamwork skills to reduce student dependence on teacher intervention. Actionable Takeaways: • Instead of saying “I don’t have time,” ask: “What am I prioritizing?” • Invest time upfront in systems and routines that save time later . • Recognize that SEL, literacy, and global learning aren’t “extras”—they integrate naturally when systems are in place.
