Hey Eric, big fan. With respect to what you would be doing in schools, I am curious what you think about "grading the chats." The story of my experiments with this approach is below - would love to hear your feedback!
Thanks for sharing, Mike (we spoke on the phone a while ago, right?). I’ll take a closer look but I’m curious if and how you’re doing this in this current school year. Any adjustments you’ve made? Any particular growth in your students you’re noticing?
I actually stepped away from teaching to start my own PD and consulting business (Zainetek Educational Advisors www.zainetek-edu.com). I've been working with small colleges and universities on AI Literacy Trainings as well as Secondary and K-12 Independent Schools to provide resources and support. So far, it's been going good!
I also have a CRAFT Program (Collaborative Reform for AI-Focused Teaching) that I offer for free to educators. We might twice a month and share ideas around "grading the chats" and/or updating assessments in innovative ways to cope with/leverage the existence of GenAI. We are starting to build quite a library!
Hope that helps. Would love to/be happy to connect further to share notes if interested.
Thanks for this. A lot of colleagues at my school belong to the group of conscientious objectors but want to force others to join them, sigh! They are, however, at least in my school, a loud minority. We know this because we conducted an anonymous survey and approx a third were interested in a faculty-wide debate.
Great post, Eric. Excellent, thoughtful questions, and I appreciate your transparency and authenticity. See you at NAIS :).

This dynamic doesn’t sound unfamiliar to me, unfortunately. I hope everyone gets a chance to feel heard.
This is excellent, Eric. Thank you. I love the range of thinking, resource links and honesty!
Thank you, Jane!
