Will AI replace Instructional Coordinators?

Not entirely. Today's AI tools can take on about 52% of the typical work in this occupation, mostly: develop instructional materials, such as lesson plans, handouts, or examinations. The parts that stay human include: Plan and conduct teacher training programs and conferences dealing with new classroom procedures, instructional materials and equipment, and teaching aids.; Observe work of teaching staff to evaluate performance and to recommend changes that could strengthen teaching skills.; Conduct or participate in workshops, committees, and conferences designed to promote the intellectual, social, and physical welfare of students..

People who learn to use AI for the automatable parts keep the edge. The 3-phase plan below shows where to start.
