In "Chad" and Me: Teaching Smarter with AI, Fahima Warsame takes readers on a deeply personal and refreshingly honest journey through the highs and lows of a career in education. From unexpectedly stepping into a classroom to nearly walking away from it all, she shares how burnout, the pandemic, and the weight of the job nearly broke her; until an unexpected tool, Artificial Intelligence, gave her a new way forward. This book blends memoir and practical guide, offering real life reflections and hands on examples of how AI can transform not just classrooms, but the lives of the teachers in them. With wit, vulnerability, and a whole lot of heart, Fahima shows how AI, or "Chad," as she affectionately calls it, helped her reconnect with her purpose and discover a better way to teach. Whether you're an educator curious about AI, a teacher on the edge of burnout, or someone who simply wants to know what the future of learning might look like, this book offers hope, guidance, and an invitation to reimagine what's possible in education.
