Leonie spoke to Peter Greene, former teacher and education commentator extraordinaire, who writes for Forbes, the Progressive, and blogs at Curmudgucation. He discussed how important it is that the next Secretary of Education maintains open lines of communication with actual classroom teachers, as well as the failings of ed-tech, including programs that use artificial intelligence in automated essay grading, how best to encourage students to engage in “authentic” writing, and how teachers can resist the Common Core's confining strictures.
