Abstract	The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into contemporary classrooms has initiated a significant transformation in 21st-century teaching and learning practices. This study examines the evolving role of teachers in AI-enhanced learning environments and explores how AI can be strategically utilized to strengthen pedagogy rather than replace human educators. Through an extensive review of existing literature, the research outlines the current landscape of AI in education, highlighting its benefits such as personalized learning pathways, data-driven instruction, and reduced administrative workload alongside notable challenges including ethical concerns, digital disparities, and limited teacher preparedness.A collaborative framework is proposed in which AI functions as a supportive tool that complements human expertise, fostering flexible, student-centered, and adaptive learning experiences. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzes student performance, captures teacher experiences with AI integration, and measures stakeholder satisfaction to assess the practical implications of this framework. The implementation model further details the necessary infrastructural support, professional development initiatives, and policy considerations required for a smooth transition to AI-supported classrooms. Findings indicate that AI enhances instructional processes while reaffirming the irreplaceable role of teachers in building emotional connections, nurturing creativity, and promoting critical thinking. Overall, the study underscores AI’s transformative potential in education while acknowledging challenges that call for continuous teacher adaptation and robust policy reforms. This work contributes valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to create a balanced, human-centered, and technologically enriched learning ecosystem.
