The majority of America’s teachers — a whopping 71% — have at least one side job because they’re so underpaid.
Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

What feels like a pretty clear trend over the last 25 years: more and more adults working in education but not in actual schools
What we have zero evidence of: students and schools being better off as a result of this
Great headline…and article!

“AI can’t feel the room. It can’t sense when a student needs encouragement, or when a joke will break the tension.”
Students won’t remember which AI model they used… they’ll remember who taught them to think without one.

“Four lessons for educators: defending moral purpose in education development; learning from constructive “good trouble”; responding courageously to unexpected opportunities to lead and learn; and reframing disappointment as a source of renewal and possibility.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Words matter! These teacher-tested phrases go a long way in empowering learners and creating a supportive classroom. 🧡
Are there any you’d add to the list?
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...

New research on system-wide change. Real-World Learning, a project-based pedagogy disrupts the traditional “grammar of schooling,” reshapes curriculum & assessment, and reconnects school to community. A powerful case for moving beyond outdated models.

📚 From phone bans boosting grades to microbreaks, handwriting > typing, AI cuts SPED paperwork but hurts writer recall, and the power of relationships, recess & productive struggle. Research worth reading.

"Dependence on AI has created students who can’t think, can’t write, can’t 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."

Might get me in trouble...
UDL and inclusion without assessment reform is an unnecessary, unproductive, and undue burden on the back of teachers.
“The pedagogy of emergent curriculum is grounded in the idea that when we use the children’s questions to guide their learning experiences, we honor the children’s intrinsic motivation and teach them that curiosity is a meaningful way to explore their world.”

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. 🤝

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

Letter to the System is a youth-made short film grounded in The Power of Recognising More research. It shows why our education system is no longer fit for purpose, what real systemic change requires, and what a truly equitable future of learning could be. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nan...

"Candidates with liberal arts degrees 'might have been deprioritised in the past' but they had more 'truly novel’ ways of thinking that would complement some AI models’ inability to make 'discontinuous leaps' in logic."

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
