And just like that, we've hit the 'melancholy days of March'. This is the bit of #ITT year when things can start to feel a bit hopeless. Beginning #teachers who thought they'd really started to master their craft, suddenly find it suddenly isn't working now.

Using AI to Reduce Student Screen Time: Fighting the attention economy with its own weapons. | Sunrise Classroom There is something deeply ironic about using artificial intelligence to get kids off screens. That’s like hiring a personal trainer who lives at a donut shop.

More AI does not have to mean more screen time. In fact, the smartest use of AI in schools might actually reduce student screen time.

New Teachers Don’t Need More Strategies, They Need Better Feedback. | Sunrise Classroom Many new teachers ask themselves a simple but weighty question: Did I actually help my students learn today?

Subcommittee backs bill creating $3,000 stipend mentoring program for teachers in D/F schools The PreK–12 Budget Subcommittee reported House Bill 157 favorably after Representative Henson described a mentor program placing high‑performing current and retired teachers in D/F schools; the bill funds a $3,000 stipend per mentor from previously decategorized education enrichment allocations and uses an existing mentoring plan for outcome reporting.

A new bill aims to transform struggling schools by pairing high-performing teachers with those in need, offering a $3,000 stipend for mentorship to boost retention and effectiveness.
