<p>Educators, parents, and schools everywhere are worried about cheating with AI. But it turns out that it isn’t artificial intelligence that’s the problem–its artificial assessment. </p><p>In this episode, author and award-winning educator Michael Hernandez argues that the ways we try to measure students–and even create entire school systems and calendars around testing– has drained the love of learning from everyone, and left us unable or willing to find learning interesting, rewarding, or meaningful once we leave school. The implications go far beyond career readiness–the result is a society who devalues expertise, and is unable to navigate change.</p><p>Educators who need the playbook and guide Michael mentioned in this episode can find it in his best-selling book,<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Storytelling-Purpose-Digital-Projects-Curiosity/dp/1564849961/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1HEN5G5X5OWHC&keywords=storytelling+with+purpose&qid=1681303571&sprefix=storytelling+with+purpose,aps,137&sr=8-1"> <u>Storytelling With Purpose: Digital Projects to Ignite Student Curiosity</u></a>.</p><p>Also, learn how to design Uncheatable Assessments in <a href="https://storytelling-with-purpose-learning.thinkific.com/collections/courses-for-educators"><u>this course for educators</u></a>.</p><p>Find out more about Michael's<a href="https://www.michael-hernandez.net/learning.html"> <u>workshops, keynotes, and professional learning services</u></a>.</p><p><a href="https://subscribepage.io/eAXCtV"><u>Subscribe to his free newsletter</u></a> that inspired this podcast.</p>
