Understanding grading reform is one thing.
Applying it in a chemistry classroom or music ensemble is another.
Pre-order our new book π

We are 6-1 with a four point loss to the 3rd ranked team in the country and are having strategic and philosophical arguments online about why our top ten efficient offense isnβt effective enough against top ten defenses.
This truly is a football school now

β¦and we apologize for denying you tenure.
Congratulations to Anne Carson on receiving the 2026 #NobelPrize in Literature.
Carson taught at Princeton University in the 1980s and was recently on campus to deliver the 2025 Fagles Lecture: bit.ly/3TteJZj

How do you explain recursion? This one is pretty fun.
I had Claude Opus 5.5 make: "A video explaining recursion, where every explanation about recursion has a radically different video style, make this self-referential & clever & fast moving."
Nine genre shifts, one prompt...

I know it is a lot for instructors who never asked for AI to change things, but if you teach and have not updated your expectations over the last 6 months over what AI can do (a lot more), its error rate (a lot less), and its ubiquity among your students (near total), you need to
An excellent, concise, and approachable review that may be finding its way to an IU syllabus very soon! Thank you @AndrewDeanHo for your public scholarship.
I talked about 100 years of the SAT for the @Harvard Gazette. I hope my "five-legged stool" analogy helps folks to keep our use of admissions test scores in perspective. Also, yes, my chair is named for that guy. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stoβ¦

Not to mention that having HIPAA and FERPA compliant AI systems makes thousands of students and researchers using them less risky.

There are good things and bad things about AI in education & research just like everywhere else, but itβs also true that itβs not going away and that AI increasingly is becoming part of the tool set available to research & teaching, as well as a subject for both study & learning

My timeline seems to have people surprised that U Chicago is getting Claude, but tons of schools (including U Penn where I teach) have school-wide AI
There are lots of things that need to be figured out about AI & scholarship but safe & equitable access is a necessary foundation
Would be interested to see results from modeling BS and real master's degrees separately. Teacher motivation was also unobserved.
No one would expect teachers who want the cheapest & easiest degree possible, & motivated purely by the salary raise, to be transformed.
Using massive administrative data from North Carolina, researchers looked at the effect of teachers earning Master's degrees on the achievement of their students
With this data, they could take out teacher fixed-effects, plausibly allowing causal conclusions
They found bupkes

A case study of why I think that we overestimate the perfection level of our work prior to AI, and underestimate the degree to which AI may already be good enough at some critical tasks where it is not perfect.
π€―Because of Excel, a THIRD of all genetics papers published in top journals have errors, as many genes have names like SEPT2 (the official name of Septin 2), which Excel automatically makes dates.
The issue was found in 2016, but still hasnβt improved! journals.plos.org/ploscompbiβ¦

It is increasingly clear that the careless mass introduction of 1:1 devices (on each kid's desk) in the 2010s was, at best, a waste of billions that could have been spent on teachers. At worst: a major cause of declining ed outcomes.
Of all the things I've been wrong about, the failure of edtech is the most disappointing.
I was so taken with @khanacademy's notion of the "flipped classroom" (world class lectures online, collaborative work in the classroom), but a combination of the disastrous Covid-era remote school experience and the mounting evidence that screens are mostly a distraction for kids shows that this was wishful thinking.

A terrific short read from @dylanwiliam.
Here's a link to a new post on Substack about combining student scores (based on an example that Paul Black and I used in our MA module on Exploratory Data Analysis in the 1980s). If anyone knows where this came from, I'd love to know. open.substack.com/pub/dylanwβ¦

This is a foundational question for those in education and educational measurement to consider. Some thought-provoking replies here...
