Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social. I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI. A few thoughts for your consideration...

The document does not mention the suicides and deaths associated with "A.i." products produced by your partners. It does not address the cognitive decline associated with these "A.i." products. It does not address the fact that Trump is pushing these companies to make these LLMs more right wing.

The document does not address the fact that right wing billionaires control these products and, as Musk has proven, can use them to literally push Nazi propaganda.

Some specific points: The document says "When appropriate, educators and school systems can use technology to create and grade assessments, saving time and allowing immediate feedback." No. No one wants to be or deserves to be graded by "A.i."

You are painting a vision of a future in which teachers create lessons with "A.i.," students complete them with "A.i.," and teachers grade them with "A.i." No learning takes place under this system. The only benefactors of this system are the corporations being paid for the "A.i." products.

The document says: "Technology accelerates constantly. Schools must prioritize continuous, high-quality professional learning so educators can adapt their teaching methods accordingly." This sounds like an additional burden on schools that are already being defunded that just benefits corporations.
