A Principal's Reflections
OCTOBER 6, 2024
During the pandemic, I was grounded for an extensive period of time. It was quite odd and liberating not to be constantly on a plane, train, or in a rental car. Boy, did I make use of my bike since the gyms were closed. While a few of my projects continued, these were few and far between. When I traveled, there was nowhere to go and eat as everything was delivered.

As students settle back into classroom routines for the 2024-2025 school year, K–12 teachers and administrators face a host of pressing issues. Among them: how to navigate the use of artificial intelligence in education. While AI has been used for some time in educational tools such as Google Classrooms and GoGuardian, the meteoric rise of ChatGPT in November 2022 brought generative AI front and center in the classroom, as students and educators tinkered with its capabilities to figure out how i

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Latino children make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in K-12 education. Yet few are likely to grow up and establish careers in technology. For them, there’s obviously a leak somewhere in the school-to-jobs pipeline. Just one in 10 tech workers are Latino, and while Latino college students are choosing STEM fields in college more frequently , they earn only about 12 percent of undergraduate degrees awarded in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
