What happens when you mix AI’s cutting-edge potential with a human-centered mission to radically improve teaching and learning? You get BetterLesson—and you get this conversation.
In this special episode of AmpED to 11, Brett Roer sits down with Matthew Kennard, CEO of BetterLesson, to unpack how his team is transforming professional learning and instructional leadership at scale. As one of the major sponsors of the upcoming AI in Education Symposium in Albany, Matt joins Brett for a high-impact conversation on how AI can be leveraged not to replace educators, but to empower them.
You’ll hear the evolution of BetterLesson from its early days as a free lesson-sharing platform to its current role as a strategic partner for school systems seeking higher ROI, improved student outcomes, and smarter resource allocation. Matt breaks down how AI-powered tools can now provide real-time instructional insights—from teacher wait time to student talk ratios—helping educators shift from time-heavy data collection to action-ready support. And through it all? Keeping humanity, and postsecondary student readiness at the center.
