Description

In this episode of Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner sits down with Wes Kriesel, Administrator of Innovation and AI at the Orange County Department of Education, to unpack what real innovation in education looks like. Together, they explore the difference between flashy tech and meaningful use, the need for a two-brain approach to AI governance and experimentation, and why equity, fluency, and humanity must drive every decision we make. Wes offers a grounded, systems-level perspective on aligning AI tools with instructional goals, preparing students for emerging careers, and building learning communities rooted in purpose, curiosity, and joy.
