💯 !! One of my saddest moments leading PD in 2024 was when only 1 of 44 teachers in the room "felt they had something that would help make a colleague a better teacher" when asked about their own power to help others. I believe every teacher can learn something from every other teacher!

I think firms worrying about AI hallucination should consider some questions: 1) How vital is 100% accuracy on a task? 2) How accurate is AI? 3) How accurate is the human who would do it? 4) How do you know 2 & 3? 5) How do you deal with the fact that humans are not 100%? Not all tasks are the same.
Some of my favorite 2024 MG novels that I hope will be recognized during awards season. Most of them feature intersectional protagonists. Those that have audiobooks are all exceptional. @ruthbehar.bsky.social @giagordon.bsky.social @mrschureads.bsky.social @dekemoulton.bsky.social

Students thrive when they know the “why” behind learning. Mini-sermons—short, passionate explanations from teachers—showcase the value of education, inspiring curiosity and relevance. They connect lessons to real-life meaning, boosting motivation and deeper engagement.

My son’s district switched to Fundations (a science of reading based curriculum) this year. I was asking him how class was going and he said: I hate it. We used to read books and novels and now all we do is talk about what sounds letters make. I just want to have fun reading. #EduSky

Education isn't being "dumbed down" - it's being smartened up. 21st-century learning isn't about passive absorption, but active engagement. We're shifting from rote memorization to critical thinking, teaching students to read, synthesize, evaluate, and apply complex information. #EduSky
