The name “Teachers Pay Teachers” is a reminder of a system that’s failing teachers (and thus students). Why would teachers pay teachers? I’m so glad GenAI is helping! AND let’s keep amplifying this message 📣 Teachers need/deserve more money and more time.

This is what I mentioned Fri at the start of 🏕️ #CampGPT. No doubt - very exciting! But the screenshot doesn’t tell us much. 👀 We’ve got to watch & wait, test & tinker, and see if our custom instructions result in increased efficiency, efficacy, and #EQUITY.
