Description

Teachers stand at the frontlines of a technological shift unlike any in history. AI isn’t just a new tool; it is an environmental change that automates cognition itself, reshaping the value of intelligence and destabilizing the entry-level jobs our students rely on. We Were Fish is a survival guide for the overwhelmed educator navigating fill rates, shrinking budgets, and the enrollment cliff while AI rewrites the definition of learning. Rejecting both breathless techno-optimism and paralyzing despair, this book offers a strategic framework for reclaiming purpose in an automated world. Inside, you will discover: The Economic Reality: Why "entry-level" jobs are evaporating, and how to teach for a market defined by automation. The Death of the Metric: Why traditional grading is failing, and how to design "AI-resistant" assignments that require human thinking, context, and voice. The Human Advantage: How to double down on presence, mentorship, and ethical judgment, the core assets machines cannot replicate. A Practical Toolkit: Copy-paste syllabus language, assignment templates, and institutional policies ready for Monday morning. Written by a community college professor with 22 years in the classroom, this book speaks directly to those who feel the system is moving at the speed of a committee meeting while AI accelerates at the speed of light. This is not a list of prompts that will be obsolete next month. It is a compass for navigating uncertainty and preserving the human connection at the heart of education. Read this if you want to save your sanity and build a way of teaching that remains deeply, stubbornly human.
