Head of School Matt Pitman explains how he uses the summer to reflect on what has worked well and how to adjust where necessary: edut.to/44BCgtI #SchoolLeaders #Principals #EduSky
My Annual 3-Part Summer Leadership Ritual. 1: Reset: Create space before filling it again. 2: Reflect: What worked, what didn't, and what I'll carry forward. 3: Reimagine: Planing that starts with purpose, not paperwork.

Where do educators stand on AI? Back in 2023, @pewresearch.org asked K-12 teachers about how they view the use of AI tools in education. While a large percentage were either uncertain or on the fence, 25% drew a clear line in the sand declaring the tools cause “more harm than benefit.” #EduSkyAI
Bar chart titled “Is AI Harming K-12 Education?” A majority of teachers are cautious about AI—either uncertain about its use in the classroom or seeing more harm than benefit. 6% of teachers said AI has more benefit than harm. 25% said it has more harm than benefit. 32% said it’s an equal mix of benefit and harm. 35% said not sure, and 2% had no answer.
