robertogreco… don’t you think we’ll get closer to [some ideal application of AI in learning] once the tool has a memory and can, over time, develop its own (technical) understanding of the child’s accumulated knowledge? [..] I could imagine an AI tool, like above, but this time it holds the knowledge of all of the students in a specific classroom, giving it the ability to engage the students in the class as a group, drawing on each students’ knowledge.
***
I visited a math classroom in Richmond, CA, last week. I walked into the classroom and took in the noise. Healthy buzz. A little apprehension given the extra adults in the room maybe.
I noticed the arrangement of the class. Students at individual desks shaped in a U. That’d affect the kinds of conversations we could have. The flow of energy.
I noticed individual students and their relationships. Some high energy, others more subdued. I tried to intuit why they were subdued or high energy. Could we recruit their energy—whatever it was—into math learning? Some of the students would need to be persuaded it was worth their while to generate energy for math. Others had surplus energy but needed to transfer it to math. Both would require different invitations.
The teacher started with a question about sales tax and tipping, asking students what they knew about those features of modern commerce. Extremely useful sensory information flying at us here. Some students will eagerly participate in a conversation about context but less eagerly in a conversation about math. If you can draw those students into a conversation about math, their participation may convince other students that math conversations are possible for them as well.

During classwork, I noticed a kid who seemed stuck on this screen about a broken cash register. I asked him how I could help. He kept looking at the screen. I asked him what he understood about the question. Still looking at the screen. I noticed where he was looking on the screen. Not at the 7% sales tax rate but at the numbers themselves. I figured he was trying to figure out where those numbers even came from. Were they all just arbitrary?
I asked him how he thought the price and tax made the total. We made progress there. I asked him where he thought the tax number came from. Was it random? What if someone tried to scam you and just put whatever number they wanted there? How would you know if it was the right tax?
He pointed to the 7% on his screen. I worked through the sandwich calculation with him. Okay, here is his elbow partner. She’s plugged into our conversation. What is their relationship like? Can I ask them to work independently for a moment and then check their answer for the donut calculation with each other? Let’s try that.
***
I took a nap in the break room at the end of my first full day of teaching. I slept so hard I swear I hit REM sleep and had a dream. My eyes and ears and every other sense had never ingested and processed so much information over such a brief stretch of time.
I’m not sure how to convert all of that information into whatever a petabyte is but I am telling you that a single classroom is loaded with them. The petabytes. Trying to ingest and process the vibes of a class alone, like—
1. How are we feeling today?
2. Where are we at in the semester?
3. Who is ready for how much more thinking right now?
—is not a task for mortals. And much less a task for generative AI as it exists now at the end of 2023.
No, I cannot imagine generative AI adequately supporting that student or that class. I cannot imagine imagining it.
This could be, of course, a failure of my imagination. But it’s striking that the majority of my work with that student was non-verbal. He didn’t ask for my help but every one of my senses told me he needed it. As I asked him questions, he answered not by typing thoughts into a chat interface or even forming them out loud. Rather, he answered me, at first, by looking anxiously around a screen.
To help him, I used visual and auditory and cognitive systems that have been evolving under natural selection for millions of years. My mammalian ancestors hid from predators in the savannah so I could notice a student struggle to calculate tax on a sandwich. I would love nothing more than to see new tools help more students love learning math but it is not a critique of these tools to say, “You are neat, but maybe find a lane that suits you better than classroom teaching.”
It is a critique to say that many of you should hang out in classrooms and watch the work of teaching more often. You should ask yourself more often, “How on earth did that teacher know to make that decision in that moment with that student?” After you answer that question across the hundreds of different moments that every teacher has with their students every day, and maybe even after you try that work once or twice yourself, I promise that you will have everything you need to answer the question, “How will I train a machine to do this work?”"]]>danmeyer 2024 teaching howweteach chatbots ai artificialintelligence information pedagogyhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:364082360db6/Are Great Teachers Born or Made? - Mathworlds | Dan Meyer | Substack2024-02-23T01:09:24+00:00

https://blog.ayjay.org/the-homebound-symphony/
robertogrecoThe Symphony performed music — classical, jazz, orchestral arrangements of pre-collapse pop songs — and Shakespeare. They’d performed more modern plays sometimes in the first few years, but what was startling, what no one would have anticipated, was that audiences seemed to prefer Shakespeare to their other theatrical offerings.
“People want what was best about the world,” Dieter said.
Later we learn that “All three caravans of the Traveling Symphony are labeled as such, THE TRAVELING SYMPHONY lettered in white on both sides, but the lead caravan carries an additional line of text: Because survival is insufficient.” Dieter says, “That quote on the lead caravan would be way more profound if we hadn’t lifted it from Star Trek,” but not everyone agrees that the quote’s origin is a problem. Take wisdom where you find it, is their view.
In his dyspeptic screed of fifty years ago, In Bluebeard’s Castle, George Steiner talks about living in a “post-culture” — a society whose culture has died even if its monuments may remain:
At great pains and cost, Altstädtte, whole cities, have been rebuilt, stone by numbered stone, geranium pot by geranium pot. Photographically there is no way of telling; the patina on the gables is even richer than before. But there is something unmistakably amiss. Go to Dresden or Warsaw, stand in one of the exquisitely recomposed squares in Verona, and you will feel it. The perfection of renewal has a lacquered depth. As if the light at the cornices had not been restored, as if the air were inappropriate and carried still an edge of fire. There is nothing mystical to this impression; it is almost painfully literal. It may be that the coherence of an ancient thing is harmonic with time, that the perspective of a street, of a roof line, that have lived their natural being can be replicated but not re-created (even where it is, ideally, indistinguishable from the original, reproduction is not the vital form). Handsome as it is, the Old City of Warsaw is a stage set; walking through it, the living create no active resonance. It is the image of those precisely restored house fronts, of those managed lights and shadows which I keep in mind when trying to discriminate between what is irretrievable — though it may still be about — and what has in it the pressure of life.
A powerful passage; but, while I agree with Steiner that we are living in a kind of post-culture, I reject his language of the “irretrievable,” or as he says elsewhere in that essay, “irreparable.” I’ll explain why.
First the bad news. I don’t know a statement more indicative of the character of our moment than this by J. D. Vance: “I think our people hate the right people.” It’s what almost everyone believes these days, isn’t it? That they and their people hate the right people. And it seems to me that that is a pretty good definition of a post-culture: a society in which people have no higher ambition than to bring down those they perceive to be their enemies. (I’m setting aside the obvious point that Christians aren’t supposed to hate anyone.) I couldn’t agree more with my friend Yuval Levin that our moment is A Time to Build, but when you’re only concerned with hating the right people, who has time to build anything?
There are a lot of people out there doing good work to expose the absurdities, the hypocrisies, and the sheer destructiveness of both the Left and the Right. I myself did some of that work for several years, but I’m not inclined to keep doing it, largely because that work of critique, however necessary, lacks a constructive dimension. There has to be something better we can do than curse our enemies — or the darkness of the present moment. If I agree with Yuval that this is indeed a time to build, then what can I build?
And as regular readers of this blog know, my particular emphasis is not on building from scratch but on restoring, renewing, and repairing. As Steiner notes, the remnants of Culture Lost surround us — still more so than when he wrote those words: the great benefit of the Internet is its ability to preserve cultural artifacts that very few people have any use for today. But such preservation is not automatic and inevitable. On the Internet, things get lost, links stop working, even the Wayback Machine is not able to rescue everything, though it rescues a hell of a lot. My task, as I now conceive it, is not to engage in critique but rather to bear a small light and keep it burning for the next generation and maybe the generation after that. I want to find what is wise and good and beautiful and true and pass along to my readers as much of it as I can, in a form that will be accessible and comprehensible to them.
That last point is worth emphasizing. Great works of art and of wisdom cannot always speak clearly for themselves: they often need an interpreter. And sometimes they need to be revised to some degree to make them useful to us. This is why I have talked about vendoring culture: the creative activity of making accessible and vivid what otherwise could be inscrutable and might therefore seem pointless. It is a teacherly thing to do, I suppose, and that makes sense for me, because I have never been able to think of myself primarily as a scholar or a writer but rather as a teacher who writes. Wordsworth famously wrote “what we have loved, others will love, and we will teach them how” – but if we don’t teach them how, then there is very little chance that they will indeed love what we have loved.
Station Eleven had the Traveling Symphony: I’m trying to be the Homebound Symphony. Just one person sitting in my study with a computer on my lap, reading and listening and viewing, and recording and sifting and transmitting – sharing the good, the true, and the beautiful, with added commentary. The initial purpose of this work is to repair, not the whole culture, but just my own attention. On a daily basis I retrain my mind to attend to what is worthy. It is the task of a lifetime, especially in an environment which strives constantly to commandeer my attention, to remove it from my control, to make me a passive consumer of what others wish me to look at or listen to.
So first of all I’m doing this work — this blog; my essays; my books; my newsletter, which is all about praise and delight — for myself, but one of the reasons that I can be disciplined in redirecting my attention is that I’ve learned that if I do so it can be helpful to others. That’s really been the great lesson for me of the last few weeks — since I started my Buy Me a Coffee page: I’ve learned that a few people appreciate the ways in which I can help them redirect their own attention.
As David Samuels has said in a memorable essay, “My problem is how to escape from it all in order to continue being me. The aim of any sane person in an age like this one is to be free to love the people you love and secure the freedom of [your] own thoughts, the same way you step out of the way of an oncoming truck.” But it’s not only about continuing to be myself, or even about loving my family and friends (though that love will always be my first priority). Survival is insufficient. I also feel an obligation to cup my hand around a candle to shield its flame in the strong winds. As the book of Proverbs teaches us, “The spirit of man” — including the manifestations of that spirit in art and music and story — “is the candle of the Lord.” My job is to keep that candle burning and pass it along to those who come after me. I don’t think anything that we’ve lost or neglected is irretrievable or irreparable, not even if I fail in my duty. I think often about what Tom Stoppard’s Alexander Herzen says near the end of The Coast of Utopia: “The idea will not perish. What we let fall will be picked up by those behind. I can hear their childish voices on the hill.”"]]>stationeleven emilystjohnmandel 2022 alanjacobs davidsamuels yuvallevin jdvance georgesteiner internet web online waybackmachine truth values value commentary beauty attention art humanities love survival alexanderherzen culture society humanness humans wisdom interpretation accessibility access howweteach howwelearn teaching learning restoration renewal repair preservation archives sharinghttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:062ded04b7eb/Inside Finland’s incredible education system | The Listening Post - YouTube2024-01-23T03:47:53+00:00

robertogrecoYou learn to teach by teaching. I never had any educational training, luckily. I say “luckily” because I went into the classroom knowing that I didn’t know anything, and therefore realizing that if I wanted to learn something, I’d better keep my eyes and ears open and think about what I was seeing and hearing. The only way you learn about teaching is to do it and to see which of your inputs into this environment produce helpful results and which don’t, and maybe to talk about your problems with other teachers and say, “How are you making out?”
I would just add one point: What you can do might be something different than what another teacher can do.
Many years ago, I was asked to observe the teaching of one of my colleagues, Christina Bieber Lake. I walked into her classroom, saw 32 students, and thought Hmmm, I wonder how she’s going to handle this. I thought that because I knew that Christina strongly preferred leading discussions to lecturing, and how do you manage a discussion with that many people in the room?
The answer was: Easily. The conversation flowed both smoothly and energetically, and in the one-hour-plus-change that I sat in the back of the room, 27 of the 32 students spoke up — without prompting. I think my jaw literally dropped. My first thought was: I want to teach that way.
But upon some reflection I had a second thought: I don’t think I can teach that way. I realized that just don’t have the skills, or, maybe more accurately, the feel for the thing. Now, to be sure, I knew I could be better at leading discussions. But I wasn’t going to be a better teacher by trying to imitate Christina, even if I could learn from her.
I often think of something Bob Dylan once said:
I’d like to drive a race car on the Indianapolis track. I’d like to kick a field goal in an NFL football game. I’d like to be able to hit a hundred-mile-an-hour baseball. But you have to know your place. There might be some things that are beyond your talents. Everything worth doing takes time. You have to write a hundred bad songs before you write one good one. And you have to sacrifice a lot of things that you might not be prepared for. Like it or not, you are in this alone and have to follow your own star.

https://austinkleon.com/2023/09/15/the-teacher-as-gardener/
robertogrecoThe most important person in the learning process is the learner. The next most important is the teacher… The teacher does not fill up bottles—it’s much more like gardening. You don’t grow plants by going out with Scotch tape and sticking leaves onto the stems. The plant grows. But the gardener creates as far as she or he can the conditions for growth—in the case of plants, soil, fertilizer, acidity, shade, water, etc. It’s simple with plants. With children, it’s more complicated. What the teacher does—and the parents at home—is to create an environment, which is in part physical—there are books, records and tapes, and tools—and in part emotional, spiritual, moral, intellectual, in which growth can occur. Now that’s a very subtle, very difficult, very interesting task. Nobody in any school of education that I’ve ever heard of would describe it that way.
So where do teachers learn to teach?

robertogrecoWomen have complained, justly, about the behavior of “macho” men. But despite their he-man pretensions and their captivation by masculine heroes of sports, war, and the Old West, most men are now entirely accustomed to obeying and currying the favor of their bosses. Because of this, of course, they hate their jobs--they mutter, “Thank God it’s Friday” and “Pretty Good for Monday”--but they do as they are told. They are more compliant than most housewives have been. Their characters combine feudal submissiveness with modern helplessness. They have accepted almost without protest, and often with relief, their dispossession of any usable property and, with that, their loss of economic independence and their consequent subordination to bosses. They have submitted to the destruction of the household economy and thus of the household, to the loss of home employment and self-employment, to the disintegration of their families and communities, to the desecration and pillage of their country, and they have continued abjectly to believe, obey, and vote for the people who have most eagerly abetted this ruin and who have most profited from it. These men, moreover, are helpless to do anything for themselves or anyone else without money, and so for money they do whatever they are told. They know that their ability to be useful is precisely defined by their willingness to be somebody else’s tool. Is it any wonder that they talk tough and worship athletes and cowboys? Is it any wonder that some of them are violent?
A related phenomenon is the manufactured “rebellion” of teens in high school and college, who know that forty or fifty years as docile “human resources” looms ahead, as surely as Thanksgiving looms for the condemned turkey. How many frat boys pose as Blutto Blutarsky as a way of pretending they won’t be a brown-nose Darren Stevens in five years? Likewise the “alternative” culture adopted by young adults as an over-compensation for their working life as white collar drones.
This insistent denial, this clutching at any psychological defense against the sheer repugnance of a “job,” this desperate need to believe that “this is not really us, this is not what we really do,” is quite understandable. We don’t cut loose our values, our priorities, our judgment, and our dignity, and leave them at the door when we enter our homes; but that’s exactly what we do in our existence on the job. For the majority of people throughout history, for the majority of Americans until around a hundred years ago, “work” was something we did on our own turf: the farmer or tradesman planned the order of his tasks as he saw fit, and carried them out from beginning to end in accordance with his own judgment and sense of workmanship. A “job,” on the other hand, amounts (as Berry said) to being somebody else’s tool. And the main reason for the change, a dead horse I’ve spent a considerable amount of time beating in this blog, is: We Was Robbed!
What’s more, it’s utterly unnatural. As a commentator on the local public access channel recently pointed out, we’re biologically designed to respond, when somebody won’t stop following us around and bugging us, by either kicking the crap out of them or getting away from them. But for eight hours or more at a time, we’re put into a situation where we’re expected to smile and nod, instead. No wonder so many people who get tired of smiling and nodding show up on the six o’clock news.
But less dramatically, it’s no wonder so many people drag themselves to their jobs every day with a sense of dread, and spend their lives in the real world attempting to prove that those jobs have nothing to do with who they really are.
It’s not by accident that the main lesson taught in the publik skools is the skills necessary to survive and advance in a hierarchy: to identify the person in a position to benefit us, identify what that authority figure expects and then do it, to feel a temporary easing-up of our permanent state of unfocused anxiety whenever that gold star is stuck on our paper or that extra item is added to our resume. Those are exactly the skills a job calls for. A job, as opposed to work, involves infantilization: a man with a job is, while on his employer’s turf, a glorified third-grader trying to win Teacher’s approval.
The sooner we restore a society where work is something we do, and not something we’re “given,” a society where we’re in control of our working lives, the sooner we can do away with fake machismo, commodified rebellion, and going postal."]]>2005 kevincarson rebellion anarchism wendellberry highschool teens youth psychology schools schooling unschooling deschooling society work machismo teaching education howweteach labor authority hierarchy capitalismhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:b1be35d6f58f/nurturing – The Homebound Symphony2023-08-14T23:44:31+00:00
https://blog.ayjay.org/nurturing/
robertogrecoWhereas the exploiter asks of a piece of land only how much and how quickly it can be made to produce, the nurturer asks a question that is much more complex and difficult: What is its carrying capacity? (That is: How much can be taken from it without diminishing it? What can it produce dependably for an indefinite time?) The exploiter wishes to earn as much as possible by as little work as possible; the nurturer expects, certainly, to have a decent living from his work, but his characteristic wish is to work as well as possible. The competence of the exploiter is in organization; that of the nurturer is in order — a human order, that is, that accommodates itself both to other order and to mystery.
What Berry has done both as a farmer and a writer is to practice this nurturing; and I have tried as both a writer and a teacher to do the same, within my rather different sphere of effective action.
Since I do not have a farm I am more of a hunter-gatherer — my practice of nurture is perhaps better described by Ursula K. LeGuin in her essay “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction”:
If it is a human thing to do to put something you want, because it’s useful, edible, or beautiful, into a bag, or a basket, or a bit of rolled bark or leaf, or a net woven of your own hair, or what have you, and then take it home with you, home being another, larger kind of pouch or bag, a container for people, and then later on you take it out and eat it or share it or store it up for winter in a solider container or put it in the medicine bundle or the shrine or the museum, the holy place, the area that contains what is sacred, and then next day you probably do much the same again — if to do that is human, if that’s what it takes, then I am a human being after all.
And for me the challenge has always been to become more cunning in my gathering, more scrupulously attentive to objects and ideas that others have discarded as worthless. To nurture the neglected, the forgotten.

robertogreco Outside of the amazing walkthrough here, major takeaway for me is the importance of genuine, caring, and trusting relationships with people. This is the bit that takes time and can’t happen just when you want to convince someone the vax is ok. https://twitter.com/MyleneDiPenta/status/1445803718549458948
One more reminder! When you see a bot or troll responding on this thread, what should you do?
Are they harming someone? If so, support that person or community. Consider blocking or reporting if appropriate.
(Not sure which ones are bots vs trolls? Read a little of their timeline, check their username and follows. What signs do *you* use to tell them apart?)
If you are tempted to tell them off, ask yourself, whose need does that meet? I assure you that it doesn’t meet mine.
Please do not bring bot and troll energy down on my timeline. If confronting them helps you relieve stress, make sure you consider what effects that is having on other people. If you’re not sure what effect you’re having on the people around you, watch, listen, ask :)”]]>mylènedipenta teaching 2021 education howweteach compassion understanding pandemic covid-19 coronavirus vaccinations vaccines fear respect conversation patience pedagogy howwelearn learning knowledgehttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:94e86504c719/Suzanne Zeedyk on Twitter: "The link between childhood & authoritarianism.

7. There is lots more I cd say about the nuances of this literature. But this is t confined space of Twitter, so I’ll jump to my core point: a) Threat is central to theories of authoritarianism. b) Childhood experiences shape your perception of threat. …and…
8. c) There’s debate all over Twitter and all through current policy creation (especlly in regard to educ) about t importance of behaviour & obedience. Suddenly, we find ourselves smack in t middle of these political science discussions. I think recognising that link matters.
9. 9. Peter Gates @petergates3 wrote about this recently. https://twitter.com/petergates3/status/1447541963067203586
This is probably one of my longest (series of) Tweets, and I am very aware it raises some emotive issues. The purpose is to expand on a deeply important matter in a political context in the UK that is fast becoming farcical and out of my real fear for the direction of travel.

So today I was in a primary where the head wants children to eat lunch in silence. I was with the very youngest who, since they could talk, have not had enough opportunities for informal social interaction. What on earth?Woman facepalming #nohopeforrecovery
11. Alison Whelan wrote for @UpstartScot about how she has decided to leave the early years profession (in England) because she feels current emphases, like “being able to sit still and listen” has become a form of “damaging” children. https://www.upstart.scot/fighting-the-system/
12. I wrote about Feldman & his 4 questions in 2016 -when Trump was only t Republican nominee & not yet t US President. I ended this way: “Trump is dangerous NOT because he is the nominee. Trump is dangerous because he legitimises fear. Fight fear.” https://suzannezeedyk.com/attachment-theory-trumps-success-hitlers/
How attachment theory explains Trump’s success – and Hitler’s too
Donald Trump has done it. He’s won the Republican nomination. How attachment theory explains Trump’s success – and Hitler’s too
13. Right now there is growing fear &anxiety everywhr. COVID, vaccinations, masks, Brexit, NHS, Universal Credit cuts, energy prices, supply chains, toys for Christmas. Fear serves t rise of authoritarianism. Authoritarianism will do terrible things to our country. And the world.
14/end. So where you can…
Fight fear. Sprinkle kindness. Spark laughter. Strengthen trust. Relax about children’s behaviour. Think about stress systems. Be gentle. Offer compassion. Stay strong. Create connection.
Fight fear. Fight division.
