Dear Teachers,
Enjoy this week’s report. Highlights below. We’ll be taking a few weeks off - our summer break. We’ll return soon enough, and keep, keeping you informed. Stepping back to jump further ahead! Thank you all for your continued support.
My send off tip this week is this article, posing some good questions about the forthcoming “homework apocalypse” given the rampant use of ChatGPT by students. Food for thought.
Best, David
