Michael Horn argues that treating K-12 and higher education as separate silos misses how learning actually works. AI tools for teaching basic addition in middle school are fundamentally different from those needed in high school or the workforce, so policy and system design should follow the learner's whole journey instead.
And we're going to be really specific when we're talking about younger people, middle school, high school because those things seem to be playing out very differently. Yeah.
And I think some pretty profound differences in last year we were pretty focused on that middle high school segment and yeah I think that's just it. Right. Like the AI that's in your adaptive module to build addition skills very different from how you might use it in high school. Right. And so recognizing those differences but also recognizing that higher ed and workforce have some pretty big implications on the system as well and so we're not going to leave those out.
No, not at all. And from my perspective it's because I want to take more and more the position of what is the journey of the young person and the young person's journey doesn't sort of have these Stark lines between K12 and higher ed with.
Your adult systems. Those are not kids systems. Yeah.
