In this second part of our four-part series on AI in Education, guest host Dr. Chad Gestson asks the question that is on many educators' minds: “Is AI cheating?” He and Dr. LeeAnn Lindsey talk to Arizona Dr. Punya Mishra about academic and professional integrity, and why AI should be a catalyst to rethink “plagiarism” and “cheating." Dr. Gestson and Dr. Lindsey are both a part of the Arizona Institute for Education and the Economy, a part of Northern Arizona University, while Dr. Mishra is associate dean of scholarship and innovation and professor in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University. Dr. Mishra broadens the conversation to talk about what cheating is in general and how we approach assessment. The discussion about AI and cheating is an opportunity to talk deeply about how we evaluate learning, he shares. That connects to a larger conversation about the purpose of the preK-12 education system, he explains. The three also talk about the role of agency and autonomy in learning. They also discuss the need for a class like the Theory of Knowledge class that is a part of the International Bacalaureate program for students to better understand the creation and sharing of ideas.

Listen in to learn about Ron and Laura's personal favorite failures, the relationship between expectations and failure, how to start the school year off with sharing favorite failures, and the valuable difference between mistakes and failures. The duo also shares their best tips and advice for new teachers as well as how to get students to push through feelings of failure so that they can learn and grow from it. Questions Answered: Why is it important to acknowledge and talk about emotions in school? Are we more willing to take risks when we don't know the potential consequences? Are we more likely to experience failure when we do not know anything about the environment? What types of failure are the most impactful for students? (ie. F letter grades, public failure) …and more! Laura's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Start talking about failure more. Make sure the work you're designing for young people are worth the failure. How do you design real life examples where students are taking on work of consequence? Provide multiple opportunities for students to reflect on failure daily and/or throughout the lesson. Ron's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Stay away from empty slogans that minimize emotions. Find ways to acknowledge and validate the emotional pain and difficulty one experiences when they're failing and talk about what to do next. Encourage and take beautiful risks yourself. Invite kids to give you feedback on your failures.

Hosts Clarin Collins and Sean Leahy talk with Leigh Wolf and Audrey Watters about the futures of educational technology, how we have come into an era where technologies are present in almost all classrooms and how that has changed teaching and learning in significant ways. Our guests chat about how we could create a more humanistic approach to existing and emerging EdTech, and how EdTech can become a roadblock for teachers. Our panelist help us unpack what EdTech really means, and define it in a broader sense than a “computerized” or “digital” tool only. They invite us to think critically about what EdTech could be in the future and how to help it become more equitable and accessible.

Tammy Reithmann and Erika Flores join our hosts Drs. Clarin Collins and Sean Leahy to discuss the state of preparing educators in Arizona and how the pandemic has provided new opportunities and challenges. Although an undisputed tragedy, COVID-19 had some unlikely positive effects on the education system, such as bringing teachers together as a team and demonstrating the resilience of their students. As the state of the world slowly returns to a new “normal”, the discussion turns to how we can retain and build off of these positive changes to bring educators across Arizona (and by extension the others) together into a better system. (3:22) -Tammy & Erika explain their roles with the teacher candidates and school districts of AZ. (5:13) - Were there any bright spots that we learned from the pandemic's effect on education?(7:54) - Have any of the pandemic-related changes been retained as we adjust back to normal?(10:08) - How do you keep teacher candidates inspired/do they need to be inspired to begin with? (15:00) - During the pandemic, families had to become more involved with their children's education – is that trend being sustained?(16:24) - What can we do to make the environment around educators and teacher candidates better?(20:49) - What are some of the challenges or opportunities in creating this next generation of educators?(23:50) - What are the perceived and received reactions towards approaching teaching as a team effort?(30:11) - How does a rural education district prepare for uncertainty vs. how does an urban district prepare?(37:48) - How do we address the gap between the rural and non-rural communities to prevent it from getting wider?(41:23) - What does the desired picture of education look like 30 years into the future?(43:57) - Guests' plugs and websites About our guests: Tammy ReithmannErika Flores The Learning Futures Podcast is produced at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University.

The first feature of the Stanford d.school spotlight has Laura McBain and Dr Ronald Beghetto, authors of My Favorite Failure. They share ideas about consciously engineering learning and experience with uncertainty and surprise as an ingredient. Perhaps we are too rigorously over-engineering education and human experience to the point of unnatural predictability? Ronald and Laura discuss how they believe there can be good in risks and unplanned experiences, and how we might form healthy and beneficial relationships with failure as a way to build resilience and better inform pedagogy and practice.Hosted by The Learning Future's very own Louka Parry, indulge your cortex in some modern thinking at the forefront of educational design with our two amazing guests: Laura McBain (@laura_mcbain) is a designer, educator and serves as co-managing director of the Stanford d.school and the co-director of the K12 Lab.

Brent Maddin talks with Dr. John B. King, Jr., former U.S. Secretary of Education, and president and CEO of the Education Trust, an education civil rights organization focusing on education equity for low-income students and students of color, about equity and the education workforce today. 2:48: Dr. King describes how his perspective has been influenced by his experiences as a student, as a classroom teacher and as a civil servant and policymaker. “The thing that saved me was school. The consistency, the nurturing relationships, the engagement at school is the reason I'm alive today.” He goes on to describe the enormous tasks that are assigned to educators and the lack of support systems to help teachers achieve everything society asks of them. “We don't always provide the working conditions that folks need to stay in the work and feel good about the work, so we have work to do as a society.” 5:09: Dr. King sees how the pandemic has affected students and the inequities it's revealed. He hopes that this moment in time will be a “New Deal” moment, bringing major systemic change to the field of education and opening the eyes of society to the importance of investing in education for all students. 6:19: Dr. King details the work going on in his state of Maryland around the concept of “schools as communities.” The idea is that schools are already involved with so many different agencies like healthcare, social services, and the criminal justice system. 7:57: Dr. King gives examples of teams that are designed to address student needs as a group instead of relying on one classroom teacher. 11:15: Dr. King offers suggestions on how to broaden the definition of an educator by looking at the work of our international peers who have found ways to subsidize their work to improve outcomes. Diversify the teaching profession by creatively including people in positions that are not always in the spotlight like tutors, coaches, behavior specialists, etc. 14:07: Dr. King looks at healthcare as a model that takes a holistic approach to care for patients by assembling a team of specialists to serve them. Healthcare also offers an enormous range of career pathways to support the interests of healthcare professionals. 19:03: Dr. King believes in the importance of social and emotional well-being as part of overall student success and shares his perspective as it relates to outcomes being more than just reading and math scores. “We have to be careful In our desire to be metric-driven that we don't mistakenly narrow how we think about the purpose of education.” 22:16: Dr. King shares his experience as a new teacher and some of the creative ways he had to figure things out. He also shares a strategy that one local program initiated to help their teachers better understand the students, assigning new teachers to community groups prior to student teaching. This allowed the teachers to get to know their students and their families as a whole before they worked with them in the classroom.
