"If we take AI to an extreme and not think about the unintended consequences, that's something we need to be careful about. Teaching is still a science and an art" - Annette Tielle of Del Valle ISD #SXSWEDU SXSW EDU #DurableSkills America Succeeds

Great to see Claire (a DV mom!) and Nichole from Go Behind the Ballot at my #SXSWEDU panel.

We had such an engaging discussion today about the future of education with AI in the mix. Something that we need to focus on is continuing to develop minds that can think critically and remain creative for an ever changing world. #SXSWEDU

Today, Dr. Tielle was on a panel at SXSW EDU focusing on developing skills that can’t be replaced by AI. Dr. Tielle highlighted the district’s innovative partnerships that ensure students get the skills they need for careers while focusing on creativity and critical thinking.

It was an honor to show off our students to our staff and highlight the amazing progress we’ve made since 2017!

I adore these kids! Tonight I invited some of my Student Ambassadors to our Dailey feeder staff meeting. They shared about all of the opportunity they get here in DV that isn’t matched by any other school. Listening to their stories brought me to tears!

Thank you O'Reilly Auto Parts for inviting our students and teachers to their area service training today!
