Nandi Edouard spent 18 months asking her community what they needed. Then she built it. In year one, students at Simple Vue Academy grew 20-30% in math and reading. A NewSchools venture in Douglasville, GA. bit.ly/3Swj6BG

Graduation season is almost over, and students everywhere are earning credentials and proving what's possible. Some schools are celebrating their very first graduating class. To every student, school, teacher, team, and founder who put in the work: this milestone belongs to you.

Two views are dominating how schools are thinking about AI right now.
The first: "Anything AI can do faster than a human, it should." Move fast, scale everywhere, let efficiency lead. The second: slow it down, ban it, protect kids from it.
Both are missing what matters most.

A lot has happened in the AI conversation this spring, but this point still holds: When it comes to reading and math, schools don't need more AI tools. They need better ones. bit.ly/3Sc7ZO6

Still carrying the energy of #NewSchoolsSummit into the new week.
To everyone who joined us: thank you. We hope you returned home feeling refreshed, reconnected, and reminded that you’re not building alone.
We’re building what’s next together.

If you don’t know exactly what you’re building yet, buying answers is a good investment.
At some point you need to stop buying answers and start making bets. Invest in the most important answers and then start betting.

Old friends. New ideas. The “let’s connect after”. The hallway conversations. The sparkle of a new collab. Our ventures are in community again at #NewSchoolsSummit. We’re so excited you’re here.

AI will not replace teachers.
But poorly designed AI systems could absolutely sideline professional expertise.
After convening 40 organizations across K–12, we found the real work is defining educator roles before tools define them for us.

As we push for thoughtful, evidence-aligned AI in schools, reading and math keep the standard clear: quality, implementation, and coherence matter.

If we want better outcomes for students, we need better feedback loops.
Learning organizations. Real-time data. Honest reflection. Course correction.
Building what’s next requires learning our way forward.

Nonprofits are being asked to do more with tighter margins and growing complexity. This piece outlines how technology and AI can strengthen operational resilience across the sector. Worth a read for ed leaders thinking about long-term infrastructure: blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-i…

AI literacy matters. But so does AI scrutiny.
Schools need better answers on accessibility, multilingual learners, and how tools are designed before adoption ever happens.
Great to see Dr. Vanessa Monterosa pushing that conversation forward on National AI Literacy Day!
