A new Gallup survey has some big news for teachers: those using AI tools weekly are saving nearly six weeks of work time over the course of a school year. That’s right—AI isn’t just a classroom helper, it’s practically an extra planning period (or three).
Teachers report that AI speeds up lesson planning, grading, and even parent emails. Instead of drowning in paperwork, they’re reclaiming hours for creativity, connection, and maybe even a little extra coffee.
The takeaway? For educators, AI isn’t about replacing the magic they bring—it’s about giving them back precious time to shine where it matters most: with their students.
