Two interesting articles from The Hechinger Report came across our radar last week: ⭕ The first reinforces the need for independent certification of edtech tools to ensure their safety, educational quality and potential to drive equitable student outcomes. Our recent report makes this case in the Australian context: https://lnkd.in/gZMMcAcc ⭕ The second discusses the importance of balancing personalisation (a key promise of edtech) with standardisation in education to ensure equity.

https://lnkd.in/djruRQd3 While this article is ostensibly about Kahn, it makes a larger point that I think is relevant to all of us who have been in the ed reform game for more than a minute. Change in education is hard and you must not only create tools and products that are better and solve real problems but you must also work within and with the systems (policy, procurement, etc) in which the student and educators exist or you will have no impact. "If you work in edtech, Khan’s state of the union address should remind you that your product won’t reach a student’s mind if it doesn’t reach the student. It won’t reach the student if it doesn’t reach their teacher. It won’t reach their teacher if it doesn’t reach their administrator. It won’t reach their administrator if it doesn’t reach their superintendent, and then their school board, and then their constituents, and on and on."

🎓 No More “C” Students with EdTech! 🎓 This is what the founder of Alpha School in Brownsville, Miami, US, which uses #AI for teaching, claims. They believe that in traditional systems, a student who scores a C on a test is unlikely to review the material they missed because classrooms move on. Solution? Treat C students as having specific knowledge gaps that need attention. By identifying and addressing these gaps, students can excel. Result? Alpha School’s students rank in the top 2% in the US on core curriculum, without selecting based on test scores. I believe the future will be just like this.

The newly released 2024 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report | Teaching and Learning Edition is an essential resource for institutions working to keep up. Public perceptions of the value of #postsecondaryeducation continue their downward slide, putting the onus on #institutions to demonstrate their worth and find solutions to #decliningenrollments. At the same time, evolving capabilities like #generativeAI promise to change #teachingandlearning in ways we have yet to fully understand or prepare for. Expert panelists, including WCET's Van L. Davis, wrestled with these present and looming challenges for #highereducation, and this report summarizes the results of those discussions—serving as one vantage point on where our future may be headed.
