Educators could take page from machine learning handbook

Conversations around school improvement have fallen under a "School 2.0" vision. As educators imagine the schools of the future, technology often has a central role, but in a particular way. Classrooms need to be organized around the needs of students, with technology that offers engaging, personalized learning experiences rather than ed tech that provides new platforms for worksheet-style assignments. The gap in school quality is clear when it comes to seeing what and how students learn. Students in upper-income neighborhoods more often learn how to think, while students in high-poverty districts are coached to memorize facts, especially when standardized test performance is largely dependent upon this memorization.
