  • Teaching In An AI World

    The impact of AI on education will be profound. Unlike the internet which is used primarily as a research and reference tool,, AI is about creation.  This does create challenges, but it will force reforms that I believe can improve outcomes and equity.   So let’s unpack AI, and today discuss its impact and strategies to adapt to this new reality.  And yes, this was created with 100% human content.

    Unions don't support pushing for essential service status because it cuts the size and influence of their organizations.I f you agree that teachers would get a better deal if deemed essential - then members will ask why are we paying so much in dues. An association can do contract maintenance for much less. rather than spending millions on ad buys during contract talks.

    The government may not want this, but the public does . They are tired of the current adversarial system of endless contract disputes and so am I.

  • We Need School Trustees

    If public education is in fact in trouble, the one terrible sign would be public apathy. Sadly, in some municipalities the indifference is on full display with some school trustee positions being unfilled or uncontested individuals being acclaimed. The system needs input from the public to be at its best.

    Secondary issue is that teachers have flexed their political muscles in endorsing candidates who see public education through their lens.  With limited numbers running for the position, teacher influence has skewed the political balance needed on school boards.

    Solutions… just listen.

  • Public Education
    A strong Public Education system is vital for a functional democracy. So many important parts of our society are supported by an educated electorate that learns perspective in an environment that reflects the society they want to change.
