The Assessment System is broken and we don’t seem to want to fix it | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it

We are currently assessing our students in ways that can be easily replicated by AI and on criteria that don’t demonstrate anything that is uniquely human. We are also testing in a way that excludes so many students with any form of neurodiversity – we aim for inclusive education, but not inclusive assessment. We do our best to support students with these assessments, but don’t change the assessment to support the students.

How AI and Humans will transform the current Education System

How AI and Humans will transform the current Education System | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it

Few things are more important than education. Unfortunately, the U.S. Education System has been under siege for years, with understaffed schools, overcrowded classrooms and overworked, underpaid teachers. The government’s own NAEP issued a Nation’s Report Card revealing less than a third of U.S. eighth graders can do grade-level math. I believe we can no longer accept a system that’s failing so many of our students.

The greatest problem stems from the fact we’re still applying a rigid, century-old education model to the challenges of our modern world. Today’s teachers hold the impossible job of educating 20, 30 or even 40 students in a classroom, kids from vastly different backgrounds and aptitudes—with no time to focus on personalized learning.
