Meet Kristina
Kristina Stone LeCrone has spent more than 30 years in classrooms around the world in: South Korea, Armenia, Turkey, the Marshall Islands, and across the United States, from the remote villages of Southwest Alaska to university lecture halls in Idaho. That breadth of her experience is not incidental; it shapes everything about how she thinks, teaches, and works.
Today, she works with schools, universities, and institutions to help faculty and leaders navigate AI integration thoughtfully. Not with hype or fear, but with frameworks that strengthen judgment, protect rigor, and actually work in real classrooms.
"Good teaching is relational, contextual, and deeply human; any use of AI that undermines that is not worth pursuing." -Kristina LeCrone

What Kristina Believes
What Kristina Believes
AI is a tool, not a replacement for thinking. The educators who navigate this transition most successfully are not the ones who adopt every new platform. They are the ones who hold the line on what matters (rigorous thinking, authentic assessment, genuine human connection) and make deliberate, principled decisions about where technology serves that work. This is the conversation Kristina is here to have.
