Mathbots haven’t done much for K-12 math instruction. Can more sophisticated uses of AI succeed in turning around American students’ falling scores?

Teachers create engaging, differentiated lessons for students. Yet they sit through lecture-heavy, one-size-fits-all PD. No discussion. No reflection. They know better for students. Why do we accept less for ourselves?

A teacher friend of mine recently told me about a first-gen student who took applied early decision, not understanding what it meant, became locked into William and Mary, which wasn't a good fit for him, and has now dropped out. Sad
Today is the deadline for Early Decision. I've got a new report out called "The Use and Abuse of Early Decision." I'm worried that the political and financial pressure created by the Trump Administration is going to lead some colleges to lean in even more on ED.

"It's hard to overestimate the amount of stress, anxiety, grief, and hardship Department staffers have faced." A searing indictment in this court filing of the Education Dept. layoffs, from the president of the union representing the agency's workers👇

You walk to your local coffee shop. It's somewhat quiet. Various newspapers, neatly pressed and smelling of ink, litter the tables. You look around, and people are actually reading them
You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it — pure cotton, pure wool, some Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn. The buttons are sewn with a firm, stiff shank. You put the jacket on. It fits beautifully. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable.

FWIW, NCES also had a clause on the Naep results demanding journalists agree to seek comment only from a list of pre-approved experts. Rejecting that prevented some of us from seeing the results in the usual fashion
The Pentagon issued a memo aimed at journalists that states “information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified.” The National Press Foundation condemns this demand. https://t.co/0oGQpDKFeI

Kids can only learn when they feel safe and supported. The incoming administration is creating "a climate of fear and confusion over immigration policy," threatening those very things for our newcomer students. Thanks to @dtmollenkamp at @EdSurge for your important coverage.
For newcomer students, fear can get in the way of attending school. With the incoming administration, will that get worse? https://t.co/3RpgUpZAHq

The tech industry vaunts AI’s potential to close equity gaps in education. Or will it widen the gap instead by creating an “underclass of students”?
