"Shifts in the education data and the technology landscape — along with the imminent changes to immigration enforcement polices ...— should compel schools to look at their rights and responsibilities when it comes to protecting students’ data and their civil rights."

I wouldn't much trust either AI or McKinsey to do my research, curriculum planning, or admin, and I certainly wouldn't trust McKinsey's own AI app in higher education - but then of course they're pretty much the same thing anyway, as Ted Chiang argued a while back www.newyorker.com/science/anna...

The UK AI plan was announced only this week, but it was already being pre-empted in education. English schools are getting locked-in to AI and automation by "turbocharged" fast policy processes, prototypes, and test-bed experiments codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2025/01/17/p...

Attention Canadian K-12 social studies & history teachers. The Treaty Map includes every Canadian treaty from 1763-present, & challenges the commonly held view of treaties as land surrenders. Includes an interactive learning & teaching tool, grounded in Indigenous perspectives of treaties.

Disappointing that our generation, X, political leaders, are caught up in name calling, blaming others for extractive and transactional forms of accountability, and fear of envisioning the bold transformational structural intergenerational changes that are necessary beyond an election cycle.

Scotsman comment on the proposed education reforms www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Presence in learning is not the same as being present at school. My article with Dennis Shirley is now available www.andyhargreaves.com/uploads/5/2/... @stevemunby.bsky.social @agavrielatos.bsky.social @pasisahlberg.bsky.social @catrplace.bsky.social @jacquespx.bsky.social @intlednews.bsky.social

Most edtech sold to schools is not supported by evidence. Now, a new edtech evidence industry promises to address this gap to support schools. For our new article, we studied how "edtech brokers" make evidence and how they are becoming "edtech knowledge governors" doi.org/10.1080/1476...

"The education ministry said AI courses should be launched 'systematically' and included as a factor when evaluating schools." The geopolitics of AI in education and its implications for schools should probably get more attention www.scmp.com/news/china/p...

Parks Canada removed the bronze plaques of seven controversial historical persons. www.canadashistory.ca/explore/poli... Excellent potential for teaching about #historicalthinking, including ethical judgment, historical significance, and interpretations and evidence.
