The passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act in 2015 eliminated the federal requirement that teachers be highly qualified to teach. This regulatory freedom, combined with a shortage of trained and qualified teachers, has led some states to allow unqualified people to teach children.
Texas used this freedom to adopt a new state law that allows almost any school to hire unlicensed teachers. As a result, Texas schools now hire more unlicensed new teachers than licensed ones. The supply problem is especially acute in rural and small-town schools, where almost 75% of new teachers hired in 2023-2024 were unlicensed. This is up from 17% in 2013-14.

Since 2019, the presence of Deepfakes - hyperrealistic AI-generated video, photo, and audio forgeries - has surged by 550%, reaching a staggering 95,820 documented deepfake videos in 2023 alone.
This blurring of reality requires a new approach to vetting if online content is real or fake. This guide is designed to build student awareness of the presence and impact of deepfakes, while providing key discussion topics on the ethics of AI-generated content. Via Edumorfosis

In practice, Generative AI tools use different strategies for different types of data when building large data models—the complex neural networks that organize vast amounts of information. For example, those that draw on textual sources segregate individual tokens, usually words. Each token is assigned an “embedding” or “vector”: a numerical matrix representing how and where the token is used compared to others. Collectively, the vector creates a mathematical representation of the token’s meaning. An image model, on the other hand, might use pixels as its tokens for embedding, and an audio one sound frequencies.
A multimodal AI model typically relies on several unimodal ones. As Henry Ajder, founder of AI consultancy Latent Space, puts it, this involves “almost stringing together” the various contributing models. Doing so involves various techniques to align the elements of each unimodal model, in a process called fusion. For example, the word “tree”, an image of an oak tree, and audio in the form of rustling leaves might be fused in this way. This allows the model to create a multifaceted description of reality.

We still assess students based predominantly on written, terminal assessments that focus on narrow ranges of knowledge and an even narrower skills base. We get kids to memorize a formula and regurgitate ‘good’ answers into it. And I’m not talking about mathematical formula – a distressing amount of my teaching has been about how to structure exam responses. Not construct an effective argument or order your thoughts – no, just get an answer to a specific question type in the format that best matches the aims of the exam board. Students aren’t learning anything useful here; they’re just brute-forcing results using the quickest and most direct method. Via Edumorfosis

Lo que verdaderamente transformará la Educación son las personas que se atrevan a hacer cosas nuevas y diferentes. No necesariamente tienen que ser trabajando dentro del sistema ni en las salas de clase. Muchos estamos afuera haciendo proyectos de desarrollo cognitivo mucho más dinámicos y cambiantes. La sociedad quiere aprender a hacer para transformar, no a memorizar para aprobar. Los estándares deben estar en movimiento constante; no impresos en papel esperando que alguien los ejecute...

The emergence of publicly accessible artificial intelligence (AI) large language models such as ChatGPT has given rise to global conversations on the implications of AI capabilities. Emergent research on AI has challenged the assumption that creative potential is a uniquely human trait thus, there seems to be a disconnect between human perception versus what AI is objectively capable of creating. Here, we aimed to assess the creative potential of humans in comparison to AI.
In the present study, human participants (N = 151) and GPT-4 provided responses for the Alternative Uses Task, Consequences Task, and Divergent Associations Task. We found that AI was robustly more creative along each divergent thinking measurement in comparison to the human counterparts. Specifically, when controlling for fluency of responses, AI was more original and elaborate. The present findings suggest that the current state of AI language models demonstrate higher creative potential than human respondents. Via Edumorfosis
