And here is it. Automation always comes down to efficiency. Not quality. Not learning. Efficiency. We need to give educators the time they need to do the job, not continually ask them to try to do more with less, slowly replacing their expertise with algorithmic slop.
As I’m sure you know through your book, large studies are just starting to surface. For now we have our observational data. On the impact of feedback in general, that is well documented. Our suggestion is one that gets to impactful feedback more efficiently. Thanks for reading!

Lot of words and cliches but say nothing close to the reality of being a classroom teacher. Social media Ed grifters have done so much harm to this profession as so many on the right think that this is what teachers are interested in

No fan of unchecked billionaires but any research that the dept of ed does not move the needle on actual classrooms Sorry not sorry
FFS, these goons. Without educational research and data how are we expected to select evidence-based best practices for our districts? They want educators to fly blind just like the aviation industry. #edusky
