Partly. About 3 in 10 working hours go to tasks AI can already do, mostly record keeping and lesson plan drafting. What stays with people is in-room work like supervising equipment, enforcing rules and running recreation on site. Which tasks are AI taking over for self-enrichment teachers? Record keeping and lesson drafting are the most exposed. Maintaining student records scores 75 on exposure and is structured data entry in Microsoft Excel, so software handles most of it. Lesson plans and objectives score 70, since AI drafts outlines that the teacher then reviews and edits. Which tasks stay human for self-enrichment teachers? Equipment supervision, classroom setup and recreation stay human, scoring 5 to 8 on exposure. Supervising students in the use of equipment to prevent injury scores 5 because it needs a person on site. Organising games and activities scores 8 because physical supervision happens in the room. How can self-enrichment teachers stay valuable with AI? Spend the hours AI frees on in-room work. Review AI-drafted lesson plans in Microsoft Word against what students actually did, then adapt them. Keep student records accurate in Excel and check them against attendance. Run hands-on sessions and enforce safety rules in person. ## Related jobs - [Tutors57 out of 100](https://www.aigentcy.com/ai-exposure/tutors/) - [Art professors49 out of 100](https://www.aigentcy.com/ai-exposure/art-professors/) - [Instructional coordinators59 out of 100](https://www.aigentcy.com/ai-exposure/instructional-coordinators/) - [Middle school special education teachers38 out of 100](https://www.aigentcy.com/ai-exposure/middle-school-special-education-teachers/) ## Next steps for self-enrichment teachers - ### Check your job Your job title is a rough guide.
