Coming from a background in the science of learning, Carl has a unique perspective on exactly what he thinks the exciting opportunities are to advance our understanding of learning in new ways, and where he believes a more traditional, human-centered approach remains invaluable.</strong></p><p><strong>Guest: Carl Hendrick</strong></p><p><strong><em><u><a href=\"https://www.nais.org/resource-center/nais-podcasts/new-view-edu/episode-93-educational-design-in-the-age-of-AI\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Resources, Transcript, and Expanded Show Notes</a></u></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>In This Episode:</em></strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>“I think probably in 10 years&#39; time, we&#39;re gonna see a world in education where a lot of the stuff that teachers do that they instinctively know is not effective, you know, marking books, grading books, a lot of administrative stuff, is just not that important. And we&#39;ll probably free up a lot of that and hopefully we&#39;ll see a world, we&#39;ll see a classroom or a school environment where teachers can really do the thing that teachers are so good at, which is being a mentor, being a coach. Inspiring, motivating kids, &#39;cause that&#39;s the thing that is the sort of hard constraint in schools.” (5:49)</strong></li><li>“The accountability is very much front loaded with the teacher for things that they&#39;re really unaccountable for, whether that be student motivation, poor curricular materials, bad behavior, a whole range of things. So we could create a system where the accountability is a lot more like, in that model where you have – and by the way, when the kids are working on laptops, there&#39;s no chatbots. They&#39;re doing a knowledge-rich curriculum, used spaced retrieval practice. They&#39;re, you know, they&#39;re kind of doing the same thing as like a lesson would be, you know, or a really well planned lesson, but they&#39;re just getting, they&#39;re cognitively, like learning happens when you think hard, when you have to take knowledge and apply it. And in a lot of our lessons, kids are not thinking at all. They&#39;re daydreaming, they&#39;re cosplaying thinking,” (24:25)</li><li>“And so that&#39;s the kind of birthright of kids. I think we owe it to the kids to pass on that knowledge and give it to them. Now, whether they like it or not is irrelevant. You don&#39;t look at a science curriculum and go, you know, Darwin&#39;s a bit boring, so we&#39;ll do something else this year. Or we&#39;ll, you know, we&#39;ll leave out Newton and we&#39;ll you know, we&#39;re doing physics, but we you know, we don&#39;t like that, so we&#39;ll do something else. And so in literature and culture there&#39;s these kind of hugely important points that, just to be a kind of citizen and to be a part of our democracy, it&#39;s really helpful to know what these things are.” (29:15)</li></ul><p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong> <u><a href=\"https://bit.ly/4zsIQzm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">91</a></u>; <u><a href=\"https://bit.ly/4AKpZRF\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">90</a></u>;<u><a href=\"https://bit.ly/4qymoRh\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> 81</a></u>; <u><a href=\"https://bit.ly/4py4zlf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">75</a></u>; <u><a href=\"https://bit.ly/44WwROb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">71</a></u>; <u><a href=\"https://bit.ly/3R6kAyT\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">68</a></u>; <u><a href=\"https://bit.ly/3VgwZ6C\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">49</a></u></p>","author_name":"National Association of Independent Schools"}
