The end of the year doesn't have to just happen to you. This week's WDYN offers a series of tools and inspiration for a better ending.
The final pages are still being written. Make them count.
Students aren't confused about the AI/honesty line. They're deciding every day whether crossing it costs them anything. This week's WDYN: what the research says, what's shifted, and why honesty might be the most underrated thing we could actually teach.
At EA gratitude isn't just a November thing. It's a June thing too and this week's WDYN makes the case, with research, book recs, and a David Foster Wallace detour.
Last one of the 2025-2026 school year (but lots more writing to come in the summer months).
What makes experiential learning stick isn't the experience. It's the design around it.
This week's WDYN: PBL's contested research, the far transfer problem, and why we might choose to think of novelty as infrastructure and not an extra (occasionally).
School's out. The CTL is not. Here's what we're building this summer: teacher research, AI-infused courses and collaborations, portrait of a graduate PD, and a few plane tickets.
Pizza Hut brought back Book It. We built a reading list. Felt right.
Six books for summer from the CTL.
The best interventions for student learning aren't add-ons. They're just good teaching, done deliberately.
This week's WDYN looks at the "craft" of teaching.
First summer edition of Thursday's Three Things is live: an AI ethics toolkit built for remixing, a 2009 paper on why soccer matches are badly designed experiments (and what that might mean for a classroom), and a CEO's 75/25 rule for AI in the classroom.
A celebration is also an argument. This week's WDYN makes the case for the arts: with research, a field guide, and a clock made of people.
STEM is having a moment: in theaters, in orbit, and this week in the hallways of The Episcopal Academy. This week's WDYN rides that energy: what does it look like to teach the way the best researchers think?
