Named after the hundred-eyed watchman of Greek myth, Argus watches the education landscape: spotting new opportunities, pressure-testing the ventures we're building, and tracing every read back to the real-world signals behind it.
The evidence library: the raw signals the pipeline is watching across the education ecosystem. Every idea is built from these.
When a leadership team meeting ends with everyone offering to help but no one agreeing to lead, something important has gone wrong beneath the surface. In this sharp, diagnostic piece, education leadership professor Andy Szeto names a pattern hiding in plain sight: voiceless collegiality, the organizational silence that masquerades as team harmony. Szeto identifies three distinct types of silence eroding school effectiveness and offers concrete shifts for leadership teams ready to trade comfort for clarity.

At a gathering in Boston, ‘student senators’ proposed a first-of-its-kind national AI policy for K-12 classrooms.
Artificial intelligence is no longer approaching the classroom--it is already embedded in it. Students are using generative tools to brainstorm, summarize, translate, draft, and revise.
In early literacy, the goal is simple but urgent: Help students become independent readers and writers. Every instructional decision we make either moves them closer to that goal or keeps them circling the mountain instead of climbing it.
Turnover rates among nurses are holding steady, according to new data. Nursing turnover is always a point of contention for CNOs as they try to build a sustainable workforce. In 2026, RN turnover remains sitting at about 17%, which is the same as last year, according to Press Ganey's State of Nursing 2026 report. Gen Z and Millennials have the highest turnover rates, with Gen Z sitting at 22% and Millennials at 21%. Jeff Doucette , CNO at Press Ganey, previously told HealthLeaders the reason Gen Z nurses are leaving the workforce has to do with unmet needs, centering around purpose, support, and alignment with their organizations. "Gen Z clinical nurses generally have less [of a] feeling of psychological safety and they are experiencing significant cognitive overload and administrative burden, but they are less tolerant of the dysfunction that many of us have just learned to live with in healthcare environments," Doucette said. Here are some facts and figures that CNOs should know from
Once upon a time. For generations, those four words were an invitation. Children leaned in because a story was beginning. They would listen closely, follow the characters, and stay with the plot until the end.
A new educational epistemology for today's teachers.
Creating consistency between classrooms and ensuring curriculum alignment school-wide can be challenging, even in the smallest of districts. Every educator teaches--and grades--differently based on their experience and preferences, and too often, they’re forced into a solution that no longer respects their autonomy or acknowledges their strengths.
If an undergraduate program's graduates don't earn more than workers who never went to college, that program could be cut off from federal student loans. But is a degree just about making more money?

While nearly every industry is racing to integrate artificial intelligence, most schools are still teaching high school math the way it’s been done for decades--rooted in instructional material that is abstract, disconnected, and detached from the world students actually live in.
Teacher evaluations have been the subject of debate for decades. Breakthroughs have been attempted but rarely sustained. Researchers have learned that context, transparency, and autonomy matter.

Keaton Wadzinski has been on both sides of the student voice equation — as a young person who was sometimes tokenized, sometimes genuinely empowered, and as an adult now designing the conditions for youth agency to flourish. In this deeply personal and strategically rich essay, he challenges education leaders to move beyond advisory committees and symbolic inclusion toward something far more honest and far more powerful. This is essential reading for any leader who believes young people deserve a real role in shaping the future of learning. The post Student Voice, All Grown Up appeared first on Getting Smart .

Hi HN. My name is Jurgen. I'm the Co-Founder and CTO of amy.app About one year ago we couldn't secure any more funding and had to shut down the company after 7 years. During that time, our content team generated about 25000 math exercises. Each exercise has a step by step solution. Furthermore for each step it includes pedagogically valuable mistakes students might make. Given that content is pedagogically sound and human curated it might be useful to someone. It could be used for things like AI training (after all it resembles a chat) or for creating individual math exercise to print them on paper. If anyone has some pointers I would love to hear them - Here is a content explorer: https://curriculum.amy.app/ToM (this does not includes the mistakes part) - That's the landing page: https://www.amy.app (you can try it by click the demo button) - This is an SAT specific version: https://sat.amy.app Please find my contacts in my HN profile.
