The American Group of Innovative Learning Environments (AGILE) Network launched this week with an incredible cohort of districts, charter schools, & nontraditional learning communities! Learn about the schools & partners behind the inclusive R&D network: ow.ly/ZphL50SpwZf.
Interesting listen on measuring AI effectiveness in schools.

The solution: Codesign research that lets teachers and students define success before building a tool, so measurement is built in from the start.

AI tools hit classrooms faster than we can test them. The solution: A national AI testbed infrastructure for education.
A new GETN-US white paper shows the way forward. leanlabeducation.org/buildin…

Leanlab Education is taking a summer break from July 3 through July 11. ☀️ The team will be offline during this time and back in action on Monday, July 14.
What an incredible few days at #ISTELive25 collaborating with and learning from the innovators who are reimagining the future of education!
Join us today for one last panel, Designing for Impact: Human-Centered R&D in EdTech Innovation, at 4 PM in HBGCC - room 303BC!
What is codesign, really—and how can it transform education? Leanlab's Katie Boody Adorno breaks down how true codesign starts with educators as co-creators of edtech solutions and evolves into collaborative research on what works in the classroom.

.@LeanlabEd Founder @KatieBoody Says #EdTech Should Root Itself in Community Voice, Co-Design ... my latest for @The74 the74million.org/article/lea…
"The end goal here is that we actually want to see outsized impact. We want technology to actually live up to its promise of accelerating student outcomes beyond what we’ve seen."
.@katieboody stressed the importance of co-design and her belief that technology is changing schools rapidly that large-scale, randomized control trials, which can take years to design and implement, are no longer a good fit for many research questions buff.ly/3DQvqp2
