The game of school is working exactly as designed, and it is out of control.
Here's a simple framework I've been using with educators and leaders, and I want you to honestly place yourself and your organization within it.
Here is the entire history of human education in three acts.
Both cars. Same night. Stolen from our own driveway.
Because if the distraction problem was urgent before AI, it is now a five-alarm fire.
Are you still reading this post? I kid, I kid...but, seriously, you may have been distracted!
I initially kept calling it a Portrait of a Graduate, and that's part of the problem.
I'm giving this talk to a group of school leaders this week, and wanted to share it with all of you!
I typically share this story when speaking with groups, but as I’m headed back into the classroom a bit this fall, I wanted to share it here with all of you as well!
Last chance to register for the June Cohort of the AI-Ready School Leadership Certification Program.
I believe we should care about it more, not less. Here's why.
I first wrote about this strategy 14 years ago. It still works today.
You'll never look at engagement the same way after seeing the results of this study.
This is so good that my daughter got mad at me for sharing it out :)
The good news is that building a strong AI policy (and keeping it current) does not have to consume your leadership team's most precious hours. Here's how to do it right.
I've been doing some new workshops and keynotes you may be interested in!
Something is happening in education right now that should make every serious person uncomfortable.
One of the things I keep reminding myself as I write LEARNING 3.0 is that the future isn't coming. It's already here.
Let me start with what is actually happening, because the gap between the theoretical promise of AI in education and the on-the-ground reality of AI in education is currently very large.
Over 20 folks are already registered for Cohort 2 in June. Register you, or your team, now and join the highly rated certification program!
This is one of the most robust findings in the science of learning, and it has been replicated across hundreds of studies, across decades, across virtually every domain of knowledge and every population of learners.
What has changed, in the past several years, is the capacity to read that data in real time, at the level of the individual learner, and use what it reveals to shape what happens next. This is the specific capability that separates Learning 3.0 from everything that came before it.
Every few thousand years, humanity figures out a completely new way to learn. This has nothing to do with a better textbook. It’s not about a new teaching method. Not an updated curriculum framework. It is something more fundamental than any of those.
So, what about Learning? How, like humanity itself, is it going to be impacted by an AI future...and what can we learn from how humans have responded in a short time to this new technology?
So if we're designing conditions rather than learning itself, what conditions are worth designing? Research suggests several that are particularly powerful.
