The Future is Here: AI enabled schools

A private Texas based school (Alpha Schools) has transformed the way it teaches:

• Students study an individual AI created lesson plan for 2 hours each day, using the pomodoro method (25 minutes on, 5 minutes off).

• The rest of the day is spent acquiring life skills, social exercises and projects.

• Teachers do not teach, but act as coaches, guiding students.

• Students advance grades in 80 days on average.

• Standardized test scores are in the 90th percentiles.

• No homework for students and no lesson plans for educators.

SO WHAT: This is a window into the future of capability building, and the importance of socialisation and group work. The learning is individually curated, not one-size-fits-no-one. You get the learning you need in the style you need. The role of the 'coach' is to guide towards self-sufficiency, and emotional support, not teaching.
