Question 1

What does an AI education consultant do for Canadian schools?

Accepted Answer

An AI education consultant like Dave Fineberg helps schools understand what AI tools are, how students are already using them, and how teachers can respond thoughtfully. This includes professional development workshops, academic integrity policy guidance, curriculum integration planning, and strategic advice tailored to the Canadian — and specifically Quebec — education context.

Question 2

How is AI in education different in Quebec compared to other provinces?

Accepted Answer

Quebec has a distinct language and cultural context, a cautious policy posture, and separate English and French school sectors. Unlike most AI-in-education content — which is American-produced and assumes a single national framework — Quebec educators need guidance that accounts for provincial jurisdiction, the MEES curriculum, and the bilingual realities of Montreal and other regions.

Question 3

How do schools address academic integrity when students use AI?

Accepted Answer

The most effective approach shifts the conversation from 'how do we catch cheaters' to 'how do we assess learning authentically in an AI world.' This means redesigning assessments to value process, reasoning, and demonstration of understanding — things AI cannot easily replicate — rather than relying on detection tools alone.

Question 4

What AI training do teachers typically receive?

Accepted Answer

Between 80 and 96% of teachers in Canada have received zero formal AI training, despite students using AI tools daily. Edify AI's professional development workshops are designed to close this gap with practical, classroom-ready content that respects teachers' existing expertise and gives them actionable strategies.

Question 5

How can I contact Dave Fineberg?

Accepted Answer

You can reach Dave Fineberg through the contact form at edifyai.ca or by emailing hello@edifyai.ca. The initial conversation is not a sales pitch — it's an honest discussion about your school's situation and whether Dave is the right fit to help.
