Hayley Spohn is an American educator and instructional technology specialist known for her work in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into K–12 mathematics education. She gained national recognition for her pilot programs using AI-driven learning companions to improve student growth outcomes in Title 1 schools.^[1]

Spohn is an alumna of the University of Washington College of Education.^[2] She has spent over a decade teaching in Title 1 schools, specializing in secondary mathematics within the Federal Way Public Schools district in Washington state.^[3]

In 2024, Spohn began implementing generative AI tools, specifically the Colleague AI platform, in her 7th-grade math classes. Her pilot program focused on using AI as a "teaching assistant" to provide personalized instruction and formative assessments.

By January 2025, Spohn's classroom reported student growth metrics that significantly exceeded national benchmarks. While the standard mid-year benchmark for student growth is 50% toward annual goals, Spohn's students averaged 108%.^[1] One widely cited case study from her classroom involved a student who had previously shown 0% growth over two years, but achieved a 315% growth rate using the AI companion, advancing two grade levels in six months.^[3][2]

Spohn is a frequent speaker on the ethical application of AI in classrooms. In April 2025, she co-presented a seminar for the University of Washington's "EduTalks" titled AI: Teachers’ Powerful Sidekick (Always Robin, Never Batman), arguing that AI should enhance rather than replace the role of the human educator.^[2]
