Not me being offline, popping on for an AI commentary post, and then realizing you did the same 🫠 I think that speaks a lot to what’s happening in our schools right now!

As more teachers/coaches are using AI to “save time” what are they losing in the process? Time can’t really be saved, so what is happening with what they considered the saved time? Training minds and bodies is the most important work and it is dangerous to cut corners in doing so.

This isn’t to say that they aren’t great teachers or coaches. I just wonder where is the human element in what we do? What sets what we do apart from anything else?

It feels like a disservice to other adults coming to learn from us to not use our original ideas for the content. I discovered so many other educators/coaches doing the same thing. This makes me wonder what are they doing in their classrooms? What expertise are they sharing with students?

I feel so conflicted because if the point of our presentation was to share our expertise about our sport, what we do to build an inclusive cohesive program, how does using an AI presentation make sense?

It's finally out! For those that don't know, I grew up in ballet, so getting to report on dancers fighting for better working conditions and protections feels like a full-circle moment. I'm so grateful for everything dancers shared—it's important. Please give it a read and click the link!
For the past year, I've been talking to dancers fighting for better workplace protections for pregnancy and parenting. It's a fight experts say is "unprecedented" due to long-standing cultural and structural challenges within ballet. And it's being led by artists themselves.
Out now for ELLE:

How Ballet Is Fighting for Dancer Pregnancy Rights
“We’re told we should do it ‘for the love of the art form,’ but we still have bills to pay and families to raise.”
