About Michael Donhost

I’ve spent 20+ years teaching, designing, and leading in K–12 education and university settings, with a focus on technology, project-based learning, and human-centered design. Today, I help schools and districts explore how generative AI can become a true learning accelerator, deepening connection, agency, and creativity along the way. Through Agentic Learning, I partner with teams to design with, not by, AI. My work focuses on: • AI Strategy: guiding district policy, adoption, and implementation planning • Professional Learning: building educator agency, confidence, and capacity • Integration: aligning AI tools to enhance, not replace, teaching and learning Always eager to connect with others exploring how AI can make learning more human. Let’s build what’s next together.
