In this episode of Transformative Principal, host Jethro Jones interviews Erik Francis, an expert in educational leadership and the creator of Maverik Education AI. Francis discusses the role of AI in education, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and critical thinking. Key points include: AI's Limitations: ChatGPT and other AI tools can sometimes produce inaccurate information due to the nature of their sourcing and synthesis processes. Depth of Knowledge (DOK): Francis highlights the need for students to deeply understand their learning, moving beyond surface-level comprehension. He outlines how different levels of DOK correspond to various question types (e.g., "whether" questions indicate DOK 1, while "how" questions indicate DOK 2). AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement: Francis argues that AI should be used as a stimulus for learning, not a source of definitive answers. It can offer suggestions, but educators and students must ultimately use their own judgment and critical thinking skills. The Importance of Authenticity: Francis believes that the future of AI in education lies in authenticity. Educators and students should "be the brain" and use AI as a tool to enhance, rather than replace, their own thinking and decision-making processes. Misinterpretation about DOK and We don’t know the source that chatGPT Is using. OpenAI synthesizing all those hits in Google that gives back information that is not accurate. How deeply do students have to comprehend their learning? You can’t just rely on a calculator. The technology doesn’t make things less complex, it makes it easier to do that work. There are people who are going to say, “It’s good enough.” Circle the verbs and underline the standards. Assessing on skills and stuff (old way) vs context (new way) Whether - DOK 1 How - DOK 2 Supports - DOK 3 Two or more - DOK 4 “Worksheets don’t grow dendrites” - Marcia Tate Created this to help teachers expand their instructional talent. AI is a stimulus, not a source. Suggestions, not decisions. Teaching is not just a science, it’s an art. Rogers’ diffusion of innovation . How do we know that our AI stuff is actually good? The Future of AI is authenticity. “Be the brain and make the impact.” About Erik Francis: Erik Francis specializes in providing guidance, support and training to academic leaders and classroom teachers on how to develop rigorous learning environments and deliver engaging educational experiences that engage and encourage students to demonstrate different levels of thinking and understand and use their Depth of Knowledge (DOK) through inquiry and by questioning with good questions.

In this episode, David Schipper, director of the Strategic Learning Clinic, discusses the challenges that students face in reaching their full potential. He highlights the prevalence of SAD (Stubborn Adult Disorder) as a major obstacle and emphasizes the need to address the soft bigotry of low expectations.

He recommends high-impact tutoring and emphasizes the need to put the right emphasis on the right syllable when teaching reading. Schipper also discusses the role of transformative principals in identifying students who are struggling and provides practical tips for educators. The #1 obstacle to helping students become the best they can be - SAD Huge resistance to many ideas. Sold a story that if students would just memorize all the words. Soft bigotry of low expectations Test all kids by age 1. It’s a total mystery why students struggle. High-Impact Tutoring Put the right emphasis on the right syllable. Learning to read is the number 1 civil rights issue of our time. If teachers are taught how to teach, they’ll be more effective. How to be a transformative principal?

42:05I'm excited to announce my Book Study. Get more info and join me here . In this podcast interview, Julie Ulstrup discusses the concept of the "Zone of Brilliance," where individuals can create a vision and achieve their dreams. She emphasizes the importance of having a definite chief aim and aligning one's actions, time, and money with that aim. Ulstrup highlights the common problem of educators providing a lot of value but not being compensated fairly for it. She suggests that educators can increase their income by understanding their zone of brilliance, changing their mindset about compensation, and becoming more aware of their transferable skills. Ulstrup also challenges the idea put forth by Simon Sinek that one should start with "why" when setting goals, arguing that teachers should focus on their zone of brilliance and act accordingly. Zone of Brilliance - We help everyone else create a vision and achieve their dreams. Every achievement is a result of a definite chief aim How you see yourself, how others see you, how you spend your time, how you spend your money. We say we value something, but we do something else. It looks like doing nothing. Impact, influence, increase and income. We know it is our zone of brilliance when we feel it inside. How to change your mindset about compensation. Common and chronic problem that educators provide a lot of value and don’t get paid enough for it. Increase is three dimensional - who are we becoming. How we serve on the earth is how we can define ourselves. How much did the US pay out for all the Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals? Teachers do have a lot of transferable skills. Act in your zone of brilliance Simon Sinek was wrong - Don’t start with why Teachers have skills that can work well in other settings. Teachers have always been in sales. Mindset, human-centered part of being an entrepreneur. Five minutes and use the quote by Sarah Blankely “The biggest risk is not taking a risk” - Journal about that for two minutes. “I serve and I deserve” and what does that mean? Venn to Zen. About Julie Ulstrup Meet Julie Ulstrup , the visionary CEO of Women's Brilliance Collective and transformational personal and business strategist for experienced educators seeking their next chapter.
