βAI canβt feel the room. It canβt sense when a student needs encouragement, or when a joke will break the tension.β
Students wonβt remember which AI model they usedβ¦ theyβll remember who taught them to think without one.

The most valuable skill of the future: Knowing how to talk to AI. Chatbots diagnosed medical problems correctly 94% of the time when researchers asked, but only 34% when regular people asked. The gap isn't the technology, it's the prompt. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/w...

"Dependence on AI has created students who canβt think, canβt write, canβt create. For hundreds of years education has been a decidedly linear process: memorise the content, write the assignment, take the test, rinse and repeat."

"If systems prize uniformity, they privilege explicit directives regarding acceptable teaching practices. If systems value professional judgements to meet students in their context, they invest in expert teachers."

UDL and inclusion without assessment reform is an unnecessary, unproductive, and undue burden on the back of teachers.
βThe pedagogy of emergent curriculum is grounded in the idea that when we use the childrenβs questions to guide their learning experiences, we honor the childrenβs intrinsic motivation and teach them that curiosity is a meaningful way to explore their world.β

Informal team teaching can have huge benefits! Consider: having a regular partner teacher for observations, collaborating on a project, or working with teachers at other schools over the computer. π€

Really great new paper using agent-based modelling to show how an exploratory childhood can lead to innovation in the population at large.

I really wish there was a column in teacher observation forms for "were students smiling and laughing?" because, at the end of the day, that might matter the most

AI is eating the career of every creative whose work can be easily described, modeled and predicted.
Spend time learning how to think along orthogonal, unpredictable, new (or forgotten) paths... make your mind hard to model.

The old leadership playbook no longer works. What replaces it rests on a simple but demanding principle: energy follows attention & intention. Form follows consciousness. Which implies that you cannot change a system unless you transform the mindsets of the people who are enacting it. Otto Scharmer
