Reflections from Nicaragua: Embracing change, leverage AI practically, and prioritize SEL in K-12

๐ŸŒŽ Just wrapped an incredible day of professional development at Lincoln International Academy in ๐Ÿ“Nicaragua!

We worked with over 100 passionate educatorsโ€”from preschool through 12th grade, including their amazing coaches and staff.

Our focus? Helping teachers embrace change, leverage AI practically, and prioritize SEL (with Laura Shippee) as we prepare students for a future where artificial intelligence plays an increasingly central role in education.

We explored:
โœ… AI through the lens of both teachers and students
โœ… Practical classroom applications of emerging tools
โœ… Why social-emotional learning is more essential than ever in a rapidly changing world


The energy in the rooms was electric all day. Huge thanks to Meindert Montenegro for the invitation and for trusting us with this opportunity to serve such a vibrant learning community.

๐ŸŽ‰ Bonus highlight: We gave away signed copies of my new book, 2059: The Future of Education, to some lucky educatorsโ€”thank you for the warm reception and excitement around the book!
