What if we analyzed teacher praise with the same rigor we use for test scores?

This is exactly what Harpreet Gill, Director of Data, Intrinsic Schools, is doing. Harpreet shares a fascinating look at how they analyze classroom data, while using AI to get proximate to the human element of praise.

Harpreet is treating qualitative praise just like any other set of data and is using tools like NotebookLM to analyze the language educators use to encourage young people.

Dive deeper into this and more on how Harpreet is innovating using AI.

As we look at our education systems, we need to build systems that empower young people to design strategically, create and shape opportunities aligned with who they are and the world they want to live in.

Samantha Asante-Bio, SMD & Senior Designer, describes how we can support young people to become architects of their own journeys, not just followers of predefined routes, much like entrepreneurs.

The AI literacy required now and the future is about understanding a world where AI has agency.

Sunanna Chand, Executive Director, dives deep into the thinking behind the predictive power of AI, as a reality that is shifting faster than our current definitions of literacy can keep up with.

We have spent the recent past focusing on Generative AI and chatbots, but Sunanna is also giving her attention to Agentic AI.

We are currently looking at the world young people will inhabit. And, thinking about how ethically AI might be a part of it.

One of AI's greatest gift to education is TIME.

Mike Yates, Senior Designer, highlights how AI acts as a high-velocity upskilling tool for educators. It is not just about learning a new tool, it is about translating the incredible skills educators already have into a version that fits the future of learning.

We have all seen it. An educator who is world-class at designing immersive, life-changing projects, but they can not get those projects off the ground, due to being buried under a mountain of administrative tasks, and logistical friction points.

We believe AI should allow you to be more brilliant at what you already love. When we use technology to free up time, we are making the profession more sustainable, human, and great ground to shape the future of education.

Don’t know where to start with AI? Mike Yates, Senior Designer, has a simple roadmap for you: Start with the platforms you already love.

You do not need a complex prompt or a new subscription to begin upskilling and upscaling with AI. You just need to dip your toes in the apps you are already interacting with.

Dr. Donnell Cannon, Senior Designer, is inviting us all to celebrate all educators this Teacher Appreciation Week.

To every educator showing up with skill, love, and patience: WE SEE YOU. WE LOVE YOU. We are better because you keep doing the hard things.

"The world is changing rapidly. Our response must be just as agile." - Sunanna Tara Chand, Executive Director.

“I would challenge you to think if the education that a young person needed in the early 90s was the same education that a young person needs today or even 10 years from now” - Sunanna Tara Chand, Executive Director at The Reinvention Lab.

We all need to be thinking of the future of education today.

The world young people are entering is evolving, and we are focused on what knowledge, skills, and mindsets educators will need next.

Reimagining education means equipping educators to navigate uncertainty, explore emerging models and nontraditional learning pathways, and help young people thrive in today’s world and in the future.
