The chatbot boosters are looking for educators to play brand ambassador for more intrusion of so-called "AI" into the classroom. From the American Federation of Teachers' new partnership with OpenAI and Microsoft for a "national academy for AI instruction" to yet more articles extolling the alleged time-saving and future-proofing virtues of LLM-powered ed tech, the hype can feel relentless. Charles Logan joins Alex and Emily for a critical look at the latest propaganda for "AI" in the classroom.Charles Logan is a former English teacher and current PhD candidate in Learning Sciences at Northwestern University.References:Welcome to Campus.

In schools with limited resources, large class sizes, and wide differences in student ability, individualized learning has become a necessity. Artificial intelligence offers powerful tools to help meet those needs, especially in underserved communities. But the way we introduce those tools matters.This week, Matt Kirchner talks with Sam Whitaker, Director of Social Impact at StudyFetch, about how AI can support literacy, comprehension, and real learning outcomes when used with purpose. Sam shares his experience bringing AI education to a rural school in Uganda, where nearly every student had already used AI without formal guidance. The results of a two-hour project surprised everyone and revealed just how much potential exists when students are given the right tools.The conversation covers AI as a literacy tool, how to design platforms that encourage learning rather than shortcutting, and why student-facing AI should preserve creativity, curiosity, and joy. Sam also explains how responsible use of AI can reduce educational inequality rather than reinforce it.This is a hopeful, practical look at how education can evolve—if we build with intention.Listen to learn:Surprising lessons from working with students at a rural Ugandan school using artificial intelligenceWhat different MIT studies suggest about the impacts of AI use on memory and productivityHow AI can help U.S. literacy rates, and what far-reaching implications that will haveWhat China's AI education policy for six-year-olds might signal about the global race for responsible, guided AI use3 Big Takeaways:1. Responsible AI use must be taught early to prevent misuse and promote real learning. Sam compares AI to handing over a car without driver's ed—powerful but dangerous without structure. When AI is used to do the thinking for students, it stifles creativity and long-term retention instead of developing it.2. AI can help close educational gaps in schools that lack the resources for individualized learning. In many underserved districts, large class sizes make one-on-one instruction nearly impossible. AI tools can adapt to students' needs in real time, offering personalized learning that would otherwise be out of reach.3. AI can play a key role in addressing the U.S. literacy crisis. Sam points out that 70% of U.S. inmates read at a fourth-grade level or below, and 85% of juvenile offenders can't read. Adaptive AI tools are now being developed to assess, support, and gradually improve literacy for students who have been left behind.Resources in this Episode:To learn about StudyFetch, visit: www.studyfetch.comOther resources:MIT Study "Experimental Evidence on the Productivity Effects of General Artificial Intelligence"MIT Study "Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task"Learn more about the Ugandan schools mentioned: African Rural University (ARU) and Uganda Rural Development anWe want to hear from you!

Oregon lawmakers recently passed a bill requiring climate change education to be integrated into classrooms across the state. The legislation directs the state board of education to integrate climate science — including causes, impacts, and strategies for adaptation — in core subjects like science, history, health, and civics. The goal is to equip students with accurate information and age-appropriate tools to understand and respond to the climate crisis. Supporters say the new law is a step toward normalizing climate education statewide, especially in rural and underserved regions. Tana Shepard, founding member of Oregon Educators for Climate Education — the organization that drafted the bill — and Mikayla May, a high school student and climate advocate with Our Future, join us to talk about what this means for Oregon schools and for the next generation of students.
In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores the tension between restorative and traditional school discipline, asking whether classrooms have become too forgiving. Drawing on biblical principles, he argues that discipline is an act of love, necessary for protecting the innocent, upholding authority, and cultivating peace. Rather than avoiding conflict, Pastor Zach encourages a corrective approach that forms character and fosters long-term societal health.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

The Misfit Behaviorists - Practical Strategies for Special Education and ABA Professionals
In Episode 312 of Sunday Night Teacher Talk, we're tackling a fresh batch of teacher questions—from first-year jitters to classroom joy boosters.This week's questions include:
Education Minister Erica Stanford has said after years of government flip-flops it will now only build single-cell classrooms.
The Education Minister is promising a school property agency (taking over management from the Ministry of Education) will pay for itself. Erica Stanford says using offsite manufacturing and repeatable designs from now, is reducing class build costs. She's announced plans for 137 new schoolrooms in Auckland. Stanford told Ryan Bridge cost efficiencies will pay for the new property agency. Stanford's also today announced plans to build 137 classrooms across 24 Auckland schools.

The Government has announced an end to open plan classrooms. The initial concept began in 2011 under National's then Education Minister Hekia Parata. For a period, every new classroom had to be built open plan, so up to 100 students could learn in one space with 3 teachers collaboratively. Many schools still have them, but Education Minister Erica Stanford says the barn-like designs "aren't meeting the needs of students". Instead, there will be a range of designs schools can choose from that are flexible, but not open plan. Principal of Albany Senior High School and the President of the Auckland Secondary Schools Principals Association Claire Amos spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
The government has drawn a line under one of education's most contentious issues - today it announced a halt to building what everyone except for teachers call open-plan classrooms. Modern learning environments, flexible learning environments, and innovative learning environments, whatever name you give them, their day is done. The government says evidence backs the move, though surveys show most teachers who work in the buildings like them. Education correspondent John Gerritsen reports.
Wednesday's announcement that open plan classrooms are to be a thing of the past resulted in much public debate. Te Ao Marama School principal Tony Grey spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Many principals are welcoming the Government's decision to scrap open plan classrooms as a no-brainer. Education Minister Erica Stanford says all new builds will have more traditional layouts, reversing the decision from John Key's government. Christchurch's Shirley Boys' High School's paid $800 thousand to transform its open plan classrooms to single cells. Headmaster Tim Grocott told Heather du Plessis Allan they noticed an immediate improvement. He says they're a secondary school teaching individual subjects, so individual classes for teachers is crucial. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Open-plan classrooms will soon be a thing of the past, according to a new directive from the Government. Education Minister Erica Stanford's announced plans to build all new classrooms with standardised designs. Rangiora High School's already spent one and a half million dollars removing its open-plan style classes. Principal Bruce Kearney says it ended up being distracting. "They tend to be noisier, but it was also the combination of 60 kids, two teachers - the whole deal, really. It didn't really work out for us."

Texas is pulling a fast one, mandating Ten Commandments posters in every public school classroom! This isn't about education, folks; it's a blatant, unconstitutional push to inject religious dogma into secular learning environments, ignoring clear historical precedents for the separation of church and state. Opponents highlight the staggering hypocrisy of a state with the death penalty pushing "thou shalt not kill," while taxpayers brace for the inevitable legal battles this divine decree will unleash. It's a classic case of religious overreach disguised as civic duty, proving some will stop at nothing to turn public schools into personal pulpits.News Source: Abbott Signs Law: Ten Commandments in Public School Classrooms By Anne James for KHOU 11 June 21, 2025

Guests: Toronto Star reporters Isabel Teotonio and Kristin Rushowy With the summer break, Ontario is wrapping up the first full school year under new cellphone restrictions. Last September, the Ford government introduced restrictions on personal mobile devices in schools, with boards required to update their own policies and ban social media sites, such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat, from networks and devices. Other provinces have followed suit. But the results have been mixed, and students can still access those sites using personal data. Some teachers did see students more focused and present. Others are still in a constant battle for their attention. So, did the cellphone ban really change anything? This Matters speaks to Toronto Star reporters Isabel Teotonio and Kristin Rushowy. One's been hearing from teachers and students in classrooms. The other's been tracking the political story behind the policy.

On June 20, 2025, the Fifth Circuit returned its decision in the Louisiana Ten Commandments case (here), upholding the District Courts order blocking the law from going into effect. This was followed by a petition on June 26 for a rehearing en banc by the State (here). At the same time, Texas passed its on bill (here) requiring displays of the Ten Commandments in classrooms. On June 24, that law was challenged in the Northern District of Texas (here) by a group of parents seeking to stop the bill from going into effect. Needless to say, our topic today is very timely, discussing the history of public displays of the Ten Commandments in public schools. My guests are Mark David Hall and Andrea Picciotti-Bayer, who wrote an article on the topic pending publication in the William and Mary Bill of Rights Journal entitled Ten Commandments in the Public Square and Public Schools (draft here). Mark David Hall (bio) joined the faculty of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University in 2023. He is one of the most outstanding scholars of early America, whose many distinguished publications have argued persuasively for the crucial importance of Christianity in the flourishing of America's experiment in ordered liberty. Andrea Picciotti-Bayer (bio) is Director of the Conscience Project. A Stanford-educated lawyer, she has dedicated her legal career to civil rights and appellate advocacy.

Applied Behavior Analysis is often boxed into narrow stereotypes—and controversy—but what if the real story is far bigger, more collaborative, and more humanistic than you think? Join Dr. Jessica Kendorski and Ray Christner for a candid conversation that busts myths, clarifies what ABA truly is (and isn't), and explores how behavior science radically transforms not only the lives of neurodivergent kids, but entire systems—from families to schools and healthcare. They dive into the ethical essentials, why collaboration and creativity matter more than compliance, and how principles of behavioral science intersect with trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, and systems-based practice. Whether you're a longtime clinician or new to ABA, this episode brings practical, immediate takeaways you can use—and a fresh perspective on building better outcomes for your clients, your practice, and yourself.To hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com Please follow the link below to access all of our hosting sites. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007098/share “Be well, and stay psyched” #mentalhealth #podcast #psychology #psychedtopractice #counseling #socialwork #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalPractice #mentalhealth #podcast
