The M.I.T.C.H.Y. Method helps teachers use AI with purpose while keeping student thinking at the center. It starts with a clear learning goal, turns standards into meaningful inquiry, and uses AI to support planning, scaffolding, and differentiation without taking over the lesson.

In practice, that means students are still the ones doing the real work. They question, calculate, compare options, justify decisions, and reflect on what they learned. Teachers save time, instruction stays rigorous, and financial literacy becomes more relevant, engaging, and life ready.
