Developing a course on the mastery flip model for the age of AI? Even without immediate proof, trying and testing is how we'll learn. As Justin Reich noted, classroom teachers are the ones who will figure out how to teach effectively now. #EdTech #AIinEducation

@cc2323 What an awesome letter. Thanks for pouring into your students. Their lives are so much better because of you!

@jonbergmann I received this last week. Same feeling.

A former student shared how impactful their teacher was, proving that the difference educators make can resonate for years. It's a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. #TeacherImpact #Education

Witnessing a student's ingenuity: a motor that ran for 30 minutes straight, far beyond the usual 30 seconds! This young engineer's pride was immense. It's moments like these that fuel a passion for discovery and shape futures. #STEM #Education #Inspiration

Mr. Bergmann made a huge difference in my life." 🔊 I didn't hear that from the student. I heard it from a friend 4 years later. Teaching is about the Echo of Impact. In Ep 73, I reflect on Year 40—from the AI "stupefaction" warning to the joy of physical textbooks and student motors. If you're tired in "Manic May," stay for the echo. 🎧 jonbergmann.substack.com/p/the-echo-of-… #Education #TeachersOfX #MasteryLearning #AIinEdu #TeacherBurnout

IT WAS WORTH IT. 🍎 Tired? Overwhelmed? Ready for summer? I hear you. Before you dive into your first period, take 20 minutes to hear why the "delayed harvest" of teaching is the most rewarding thing you'll ever do. Your impact is echoing much further than you think. #teachers #ReachEveryStudent #edtech #edutwitter Direct Link: 👉 jonbergmann.substack.com/p/the-echo-of-…

Students need a 'physical trainer' who pushes them beyond their perceived limits. One student recognized this influence, stating he was pushed to high expectations and never allowed to settle for less. It's about impactful mentorship. #Mentorship #Education #Motivation

Teachers are exhausted and leaving the profession in droves. It's not just the students; it's the overwhelming administrative burden making it impossible to continue. We need to support our educators. #TeacherStruggles #EducationCrisis

Quiet students need validation and to know they matter. Being seen by humans, not AI, is crucial for their sense of self. They crave connection and understanding. Full Episode jonbergmann.substack.com/p/sal-khans-tr… #Education #ReachEveryStudent

Sal Khan admits his AI tutor isn't a hit. Like a basement treadmill, it's there but unused. AI lacks the human 'heartbeat' and motivation a personal trainer provides. Real progress needs human connection and encouragement. #EdTech #AI #Education

It’s Manic May, and even @salkhanacademy admits AI tutoring is a "non-event" for most students. Technology provides access, but only YOU provide the action. You are the personal trainer, not the treadmill. In Episode 72, I share why the "Human Check" is the only thing that actually scales. 🎧 Listen/Watch here: jonbergmann.substack.com/p/sal-khans-tr… #AIinEdu #Education #MasteryLearning #HumanCheck #ManicMay @khanacademy

Teachers are catching students cheating with AI. The solution? A flipped classroom model where accountability is key. AI won't stop students from learning if educators adapt and hold them to higher standards. ReachEveryStudent.com #EdTech #FlippedClassroom

Have to seen the keynote I gave in Silicon Valley of all places. In it I say that AI will stupefy our kids unless…. open.substack.com/pub/jonbergman…. I propose a new framework for teaching in the age of AI. It is working very well and is based on both my 40 years in the classroom and deep research about how people learn. I’d love your feedback

When I criticize the quick mass adoption of AI in the classroom, it’s rarely active teachers who respond critically first. More often, it’s people on the outside—folks with little sense of what today’s classroom actually feels like—who jump in to call me names or claim I’m failing my students. #edchat #edtech

Kids need to learn to explain science using proper terms, not just simple answers. Teaching them to articulate 'why' fosters responsibility and deeper understanding. FUll episode: jonbergmann.substack.com/p/the-exhausti… #ScienceEducation #KidsLearning

Very few experts know the daily reality of classroom teaching. The best way to figure out AI in the classroom is for real teachers to try stuff and share what works and what flops.

Mastering concepts means going beyond the basics. Aim for a 'four' by extending your understanding and thinking deeply. These graded conversations are key to proving mastery. FUll episode: jonbergmann.substack.com/p/the-exhausti… #Education #Learning

Stop grading papers. Start having conversations. Scaling Mastery Vivas for all your students isn't about working harder—it's about "Scaling the Human." New Episode: The Exhaustion of Excellence.

The version of you that students remember in 10 years is the one who showed up in April. Don't let the last 10% derail a year of progress. Stay in the arena and finish strong, Listen to the full episode: jonbergmann.substack.com/p/the-coast-bu… #TeacherLife #Motivation #FinishStrong

Even when you're in survival mode, don't let the last 10% of the year be about just hanging on. Easy wins are tempting, but hands-on projects cement learning and build grit.

@MiniRetireMatt I arrive at 6:15am every day and generally leave at 3:45pm. And I work at home quite a bit. Teaching is very hard work.

The teacher making $125k per year, with 3 months of PTO, and 35 hour work weeks Is better off than... The attorney making $250k per year, with 1-2 weeks of PTO, and 60+ hour work weeks It's not even close
