Schoolslop: student work that takes longer to grade than it took the student to create.
If you’ve sat with a stack of polished, AI-touched student work and realized you can’t tell what anyone actually learned, you’re in the Messy Middle. In this hour, Maria walks through why product-based assignments have stopped working and how to shift toward thinking-based assessment: what students can explain, reason through, and defend.
A working teacher talking to working teachers. Not a tools demo, not a pep talk.
Dr. Maria Andersen has taught math, science, business, and ELL across K-12, community colleges, and universities for 30 years. She currently teaches middle school in Utah and is the CEO of Socrait.
The free workshop is limited to 30 participants. Workshop will NOT be recorded or shared.
Bring one assignment you suspect is no longer measuring what you think it’s measuring. In one hour, alongside Maria and other teachers, you’ll diagnose where AI is short-circuiting the learning, decide what to keep and what to cut, and rebuild it into a thinking-based assessment you can use the next week you teach it.
You won’t fix your whole course in an hour. You’ll fix one thing, and you’ll know how to do the next one on your own.
Bring: one assignment and a willingness to make something messier before it gets cleaner.
