The Strong Pivot: Leveraging AI to Create 21st Century Integrated Student Tasks
In “The Strong Pivot: Leveraging AI to Create 21st Century Integrated Student Tasks,” Annell Butler explores a revolutionary approach to education by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into personalized student tasks. The book presents the Y-O-R-U-K-E-E Protocol—a comprehensive framework designed to shift traditional classroom practices to a student-centered, interdisciplinary, and AI-supported model. The goal is to engage students in deeper learning through critical thinking, creativity, and real-world applications.
The Y-O-R-U-K-E-E Protocol empowers educators to create rigorous, standards-aligned tasks that cross multiple subjects, ensuring students can apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. The book highlights the power of personalized learning and AI’s ability to streamline lesson planning, provide real-time feedback, and tailor tasks to individual student needs.
The author shares her journey from the classroom to becoming an instructional facilitator, demonstrating the impact of restructuring curriculum to align with state standards like TEKS. Our aim is to improve student engagement, improve performance, and better prepare learners for future challenges.
Educators and schools are encouraged to consult with Yorukee Education for tailored workshops and professional development to help implement the Y-O-R-U-K-E-E Protocol. With AI-enhanced learning, teachers can create dynamic, interdisciplinary tasks that make education more engaging and relevant for 21st-century learners.
