CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

School reform would be radically reconfigured by the simple addition of an "s" and an apostrophe - that is, shifting from "student achievement" (the aggregate results of standardized tests) to "students’ achievements" (the intellectual accomplishments of individual kids).

Instead of calling your course a “class”, call it a “workshop.” Hear me out:

New York State approves Portrait of a Graduate in lieu of high school exit exams. So how can students demonstrate learning and how can schools assess them?

How–and should–we let students use #AI for writing? The answer lies with the purpose of writing.
In this challenging moment, AI might just help us remember the fundamental purpose and point of our assignments that we seem to have forgotten:
