Gaskell recommends that school leaders embrace humility by regularly soliciting teacher feedback, celebrating achievements, and involving the school community in decision-making.Ego is the enemyLeaders who embrace humility achieve greater successLeaders who admit mistakes, and accept feedback with confidence =school success

Episode adapted from this article The use of AI chat tools has rapidly increased this year.AI chat tools have a difficult time with voice since they lack the emotional context that humans can interpret through the nuances of tone, pitch, expression, and most of all, uniqueness.More significantly, AI chat tools cannot express a person’s point of view because they lack the complex beliefs, values and opinions that form a person’s consciousness.Educators should make this clear to people accessing AI chat tools in their schools.While AI chat tools have some limitations such as capturing voice and eyes, it has remarkable productivity opportunities educators can leverage while navigating around imperfections to increase their efficiency and effectiveness.
