Dear Teachers,
Huge amount of fine, informative news in ELT this week.
My recommendation and tip this week is this fine article and reflection by Marc Watkins on the emergence of crooked and dishonest assessment practices in education because of generative Ai. Trust is eroding between and among all stakeholders. A thoughtful read.
The Freedom To Teach. Educational Reform.
