A Principal's Reflections
JANUARY 7, 2024
As we navigate the shifting currents of the educational landscape, it's clear that transformative change is not just necessary—it's inevitable. To foster an environment where every student thrives, we must reimagine our approach to education from the ground up. This calls for a system that is not just a patchwork of quick fixes but a comprehensive blueprint for enduring change.

I’ve been an instructional coach for nearly four years now; while I certainly don’t think I’ve got it cracked yet and would not consider myself an expert, I think I’ve learned a huge amount since starting and want to share some of those reflection here. I’ve written previously about this here and here where I’ve talked about some of the mechanics of coaching.

At this point in the school year, you have had time to establish classroom routines, nurture your relationships with students, and design and facilitate entire units of study. It’s the perfect time to ask your students for feedback. Employing a simple feedback strategy like “keep, start, stop” helps you quickly take the temperature of the class and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the rest of the year is as productive and positive as possible.

When Satya Nitta worked at IBM, he and a team of colleagues took on a bold assignment: Use the latest in artificial intelligence to build a new kind of personal digital tutor. This was before ChatGPT existed, and fewer people were talking about the wonders of AI. But Nitta was working with what was perhaps the highest-profile AI system at the time, IBM’s Watson.

Sitakunda, Bangladesh, is one of the world’s largest sites for shipbreaking. The industry is a motor of national development, but once dismantled, ships release hazardous materials that affect everyone in the area. Camelia Dewan writes about the life and labor of workers and fishermen on the beaches where ships are sent to die. Bangladeshi workers “cut” through ships run aground on intertidal beaches with hand-held gas torches.

A challenge that sometimes presents itself when giving feedback to students is that their work is already of a pretty high standard, and it feels like we’re really nitpicking with our improvement points. The reality is that what they’ve produced is probably already near the top of the mark bands, and one or two small tweaks might not necessarily make much difference.

The pandemic not only disrupted education temporarily; it also triggered permanent changes. One that is quietly taking place at colleges and universities is a major, expedited shift to online learning.

A point I tried to make on our Politix episode with Will Stancil is that progressive-minded people — and particularly progressive-minded media figures — have a certain ideological investment in the promotion of bad vibes. Younger left-wing people are notably more depressed than politically conservative ones, which may be partially selection effect, but I think is driven by the fact that so much progressive messaging about the world is marked by negativity and doomerism.

Rather than the widely held belief in high-protein, meat-heavy diets, it appears that our ancestors were predominantly gatherers, relying on plant-based nutrition to a significant extent.
