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-noone. 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.
