Description

Test scores are dropping. Literacy rates are slipping. And suddenly, AI is being positioned as the solution that will save the education system. But is technology really the unlock, or are we missing the bigger picture?

In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, I take a closer look at the headlines around AI-driven schools like Alpha Schools and unpack what is actually driving student outcomes versus what is simply getting the most attention.

📉 Here’s what I unpack:

• Why two hours of AI tutoring is not the real story behind student success
• What project-based and experiential learning contribute to higher outcomes
• How AI is often confused with true system-level transformation
• Why digitizing classrooms is not the same as changing how learning works
• What education can teach us about people, process, and technology working together

AI can create capacity. But it does not automatically create better learning.

If we want different outcomes for students, we need to stop chasing tools and start rethinking the system itself. Technology should support new ways of learning, not just digitize old ones.

Is AI really transforming education, or just getting the credit for bigger changes?
What do you think actually drives better outcomes for students today?
