For too long, schools have relied on pockets of excellence, brilliant ideas trapped in silos. Now, by treating talent and technology as part of the same ecosystem, we can scale that excellence across every classroom, every team, every learner.

@MsGordonA2 You always do the most incredible activities ♥️

If you asked me why students reach for AI, here's what I'd say, and it isn't laziness.

In July, 98 teenagers from all fifty states sat in a replica of the U.S. Senate and wrote AI rules for American schools.

They passed them 82 to 16.

@askMsQ We had a group of students write an AI Bill of Rights for our district. It is seriously some of the best work I’ve ever read! Their process started 3 years ago with several interations and many voices.

The full episode covers what 98 students actually banned, and the one line in their bill that reaches past the school they know.

Now the harder half.

They banned AI on graded tests, and they protected the essay. Nobody in that session asked whether a graded test still measures anything.

"They wrote a better version of the school they are already sitting in. They did not ask for a different school."

GPT-6 Astra is here.

We hope it will begin to enable a new generation of entrepreneurship, scientific discovery, and building.

We believe it is the best model in the world for computer use, professional work, science, coding, cybersecurity, and more.

It took us some extra time to ensure that we could meet the safety and alignment standards required for this capability level, but we think you’ll find it worth the wait.

It scores 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI 3, and 100% on ExploitBench.

How might we redesign schools around these four skills? What would that actually look like in your building?

Sam Altman was asked what he'd teach his own son.

Not coding. Not prompting. Four things:

Learn how to learn - fast.
Adapt to constant, relentless change.
Figure out what people actually want.
Care deeply about other humans.

[Sabba Quidwai, EdD 🙌🏼 Designing Schools @askMsQ]

That means less time on compliance and more time on the messy, beautiful, deeply human work of learning how to learn, caring about others, and solving problems that don't have right answers.

[Sabba Quidwai, EdD 🙌🏼 Designing Schools @askMsQ]

I think that's important because technology will continue to change. The deeper work of education has always been helping people think, create, connect, and find meaning in the world around them.

That's the conversation I keep seeing in schools.

[Sabba Quidwai, EdD 🙌🏼 Designing Schools @askMsQ]

One thing I wasn't expecting from this workshop. This is a clip from a session I did with educators and school leaders, and while everyone came from different schools, roles, and experiences, many of the same ideas kept surfacing.

[Sabba Quidwai, EdD 🙌🏼 Designing Schools @askMsQ]

What stood out to me is that almost nobody was asking, "How do we use more AI?"

The conversation kept coming back to something much bigger.

What kind of experiences do we want students to have, and what kind of humans do we hope they become?
