The Guide Method | From Teacher to AI School Guide: Hiring, Training & Coaching Playbook (Vol 2 of 6)

The professional playbook for the most important new role in education. When adaptive software takes over content delivery, the adult in the room becomes the whole difference between a transformative school and an expensive arcade. AI-first campuses call this role the Guide — and it is the least documented, most decisive piece of the model. Volume 2 of The AI-First School Blueprint turns it into a trainable profession.

Inside this 18-page premium volume:

• What a Guide actually does all day: the full daily system, including the 4-minute LOOP check-in that is the atomic unit of the job
• Hiring: the profile that works (coach DNA), the seductive anti-profiles that fail, and the paid working-interview protocol
• The motivation toolkit: six instruments from progress narration to the restorative reset, with word-for-word coaching scripts
• Floor systems: the stuck-list, the circuit, the three-number Friday ritual, and floor rules that scale
• The Guide's AI prompt library: 5 copy-paste workflows for daily briefings, reframes, parent notes, workshop building, and pattern review
• The Guide Excellence Rubric (4 domains, observation protocol), workshop leadership standards, burnout-proofing, and the 4-level Guide career ladder

For teachers weighing the leap, school builders hiring their first floor team, and leaders who suspect — correctly — that their Guides are the product.
