New Resource: Design the Future of Learning (4-Phase Educator Toolkit)

Dario Amodei's new essay compares our institutions to Treebeard, the ancient tree from Lord of the Rings who takes a full day to say good morning while the forest gets cut down around him. Higher education is a Treebeard. So I built you a toolkit to stop saying good morning to the tree and start designing the new forest on purpose.

It is four phases, SeedStacking style, and you can do one or all four:

Seed (5 to 15 min): The Treebeard Audit. Name the gap between how fast your course changes and how fast the field moves.
Sprout (15 to 20 min): The AI Literacy Gap Map. Find three places to inject AI literacy and judgment into real course material.
Grow (20 to 30 min): Redesign One Assignment so AI is a sparring partner, not a shortcut. Predict before you prompt.
Harvest (30 to 45 min): The Future-Ready One-Pager. Draft a real proposal for one change you would bring to your program, then share it right here for feedback.

When you finish the Harvest one-pager, post it in this space. Let's design this future together instead of inheriting it.
