During the upcoming school year in New York, we’re anticipating significant discussions around new graduation measures, particularly with the work of the Blue Ribbon Commission, which is re-evaluating how we define and assess student success. Teacher evaluation reform is also on the agenda, aiming to create more effective and supportive systems that align with the evolving demands of education. Additionally, the debate around banning cell phones in classrooms continues to be a hot topic, balancing the need for focus with the realities of digital citizenship. Nationally, we’re seeing an increased focus on integrating AI into the classroom. This isn’t just about using AI as a tool but also about preparing students for a future where AI literacy will be crucial. There’s also a growing emphasis on wellness and addressing the complex needs of students as they navigate a challenging world. This holistic approach is reshaping how we engage students, pushing us to rethink traditional models and deliver teaching and learning in more relevant, responsive ways.
