Oh, lord. Season 2 of "Sold a Story" drops tomorrow, & if the preview is any indication, then 2 things will happen: 1. The "Direct Instruction" bros on Twitter & elsewhere will be insufferable. 2. Many of us are about to spend a lot of time undoing damage. features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story...

Season 2 | Sold a Story Podcast
It's not just reading. Season 2 of Sold a Story takes on teaching itself — what makes teaching effective and why a method with a remarkable record of success never caught on.

Maybe we can stop pretending AI is useful for student learning “if used properly” and start focusing attention and energy on mitigating its massive educational harm? Call me crazy.

Was not allowed to share screenshots from today's webinar by @josheyler.bsky.social and colleagues on resisting AI use in higher education but VERY JAZZED to be in community with others who are resisting TESCREALism, AI-hype, industry boosterism, and synthetic text/epistemic pollution in academia.

What’s Wrong With Civility?
Civility can be a tool of engagement. But history has shown it can also be used to oppress the powerless.

Today on the Engaged Learning Collective, I have a column about thinking expansively about kindness and communication in higher education. And if you're not familiar with the incredible stuff at ELC, take a look around! engagedlearningcollective.substack.com/p/expanding-...

Expanding the Reach of Kindness
Distrust is pervasive in higher ed, and it partners with competition to make too many of us miserable.

I keep thinking about that extraordinary film *Women Talking* and what one of the women says to the only man they trust: "You have to stay and teach the boys." This thread explains exactly what we need to teach. Men bear the responsibility for modeling these lessons in our own lives too.

On October 13 at 1pm ET, @liznorell.bsky.social, @thetattooedprof.bsky.social, @josheyler.bsky.social, and I are convening a webinar about why we believe in AI resistance in higher ed. Registration link in the first comment!
"The AI boom is being sold as inevitable progress, but the real question is not whether artificial intelligence can do useful things in theory. It is who owns it, who profits from it, what it is mostly being used for, and who pays the environmental and political bill when the hype turns into microchip manufacturing plants, data centres, rising power demand, water stress, surveillance and attacks on democratic life."

I think higher ed coverage/discourse is disproportionately driven by voices from elite institutions (Ivy League, etc.) and that is not a good thing. But I also think K-12 coverage/discourse is disproportionately driven by voices from independent/private schools and that is also not a good thing.

The best recent example in the American context is “No Child Left Behind”, a nominally idealistic program that manifested as an obsession with nonstop testing that, you’ve guessed it, caused rapidly increasing numbers of children to be “left behind”

We live in the wake of that era and the subsequent eras that have fixated so entirely on test numbers and systems that teachers frequently need to squeeze the actual learning in-between a torturous calendar of overlapping testing regimes from the different governing bodies that dictate curriculum.
