Skills Before Tools: Revision & Improvement for Student-Led Learning with AI

February 18
27 mins

Episode Description

In this episode of The Balance, I continue the Skills Before Tools series with a focus on revision and improvement, the skill that keeps AI from replacing student thinking.

I explore how iterative cycles of draft, feedback, and intentional revision strengthen motivation, reinforce growth mindset, and position students as decision-makers in their own learning. Rather than treating AI as a shortcut to polished work, I explain why the real cognitive lift happens in the refinement process.

I also share classroom examples and developmental insights to help you design learning experiences where feedback fuels growth and students remain accountable for their thinking.
