.@samaland3r shares that his teachers have encouraged #GenAI use -- to explore, to tinker with it, to examine it. But the exploring of it has to be intentional. What is your disposition toward #GenAI? #NewSchoolsSummit2024

In this AI Hype + Hope session, sounds like change management in real-time in carefully & vulnerably exploring how #GenAi looks across schools / districts. EX: Addressing human capital needs; creating ecosystem supports; leading the charge w/ hope #NewSchoolsSummit2024

#AILiteracy is needed ASAP! #NewSchoolsSummit2024

Cautious about #GenAi? Totally fine. Want to wait and see what happens w/ #GenAI? No, don't wait. Be open to learning alongside young ppl and explore the potential of #GenAi together. #NewSchoolsSummit2024

Teachers need a safe space and dedicated time to learn about #GenAi and develop their own #AILiteracy High-quality professional development is always key. <3 #NewSchoolsSummit2024

Q from the audience: what would it look like if novice students and teachers came together to explore #GenAI? @salamand3r says design thinking is a useful approach to exploring how to interact w/ #GenAI. Doubling down on the need for #AILiteracy! #NewSchoolsSummit2024

Designing and thinking about #GenAI implementation requires all voices at the table -- teachers, students, administrators, community leaders. Community engagement is always key. #NewSchoolsSummit2024

Audience Qs are so vulnerable: "I really don't know. What is a starting point? What does this look like?" I appreciate the openness in this space. We're all trying our best to figure it out! #NewSchoolsSummit2024 Sounds like it takes learner agency on our parts as #EdLeaders.

At the The Disagreement session at #NewSchoolsSummit2024 to hear 2 experts talk about the #MathWars -- Holly Korbey & Kevin Dykema, president of NCTM

.Holly Korbey asks: how many American students score below basic math proficiency? 8th graders ... 40%. So the majority of students are NOT proficient in math! #NewSchoolsSummit2024

.Holly Korbey: We are spending money to attract students to STEM, but the students that want to get there can't make it because their needs are not being met when it comes to math! #NewSchoolsSummit2024

.The Disagreement: productive struggle -- how much struggle IS actually productive? #NewSchoolsSummit2024

.Holly Korbey: highly teacher-directed instruction reaches the most students -- explicit instruction, which if done well, is actually highly interactive #NewSchoolsSummit2024

.@Kdykema shares the research he grounds his approach to #MathEd: "Adding It Up" - nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9822/a… "Principles to Action" - nctm.org/PtA/ #NewSchoolsSummit2024

What the leaders agree on when it comes to #MathEd / #MathWars: The goal is reasoning & critical thinking. Holly Korbey Kevin Dykema The Disagreement #NewSchoolsSummit2024

.Kevin Dykema: We underestimate the background knowledge that students already bring to the classroom. #NewSchoolsSummit2024

#MathEd complexity grows when we account for our own math identities / anxieties and how stereotype threat shows up when it comes to math Holly Korbey Kevin Dykema The Disagreement #NewSchoolsSummit2024

Inquiry-based instruction vs explicit instruction -- what a conversation! So, is the #MathWar just among researchers on what should happen first -- memorization or conceptual? Holly Korbey Kevin Dykema The Disagreement #NewSchoolsSummit2024 #MathEd

.The Disagreement: What would change your stance? Holly Korbey: Gold standard randomized control trials would need to define inquiry-based instruction & test it. Kevin Dykema: Math researchers would need to say we HAVE to do explicit instruction. #NewSchoolsSummit2024

#LATechWeek made me get back on Twitter. It's only Wednesday, but I've already connected with so many awesome ppl this week. I just wish I knew which event to go to, so I could find my #EdTech tribe in LA this week! Where ya'll at? #K12tech
