A colleague just told me that she was grateful to have a snow day so she can get some work done. There’s no other profession than education where you get more work done when you are not at work.
No wonder we have a burnout problem.
Nobody hands you the keys and watches you crash before teaching you to drive.
That’s the whole point. We have decided driving is too dangerous to learn by failure, so we built a structure.
We front-loaded the support.
Why don’t schools do that for reading, fractions, or self-regulation?
The system chooses. Who is getting rewarded, and what does it reveal? Comment below 👇🏻 #breakingtheblueprint
AI is about the expose the system.
A stat I can’t unsee:
Teens in households earning under $30K are nearly 3x more likely to do ALL or MOST of their schoolwork with AI than teens in households earning over $75K.
Students most reliant on AI are most at risk of skipping the thinking that matters.
Five reports on AI in education crossed my desk this month. Individually, they're useful. Together, they tell a story nobody seems to be saying out loud. #breakingtheblueprint
Don’t be nervous about AI, be ready. Post coming tomorrow. #breakingtheblueprint
Everyone’s talking about how AI will transform education.
And after two years of widespread adoption, zero studies show it helps students learn.
The promise is loud. The evidence is quiet.
New piece breaking down five 2026 reports…coming on Monday #breakingtheblueprint
AI implementation is going to rely not on technology access, but on a foundation of instructional practices that are designed to meet student needs. This is an equity issue, with substantial consequences. Substack coming on Monday. @knowledgeworks.bsky.social @ed3global.bsky.social

What do you think the problem our current model of educator preparation is meant to solve (scale, compliance, standardization, etc.)?
If we were designing educator preparation for adaptability and school redesign, what would you change?
