| 5/12/25 | ![]() JUST THINKING… about Artificial Intelligence vs. Human Intelligence with Dr. Michael Harvey | As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at lightning speed, the conversation is shifting from what AI can do to what it should do—and how it compares with, or complements, the uniquely human traits we bring to learning, work, and society. While schools grapple with AI’s integration into classrooms, some educators are asking a deeper question: what does it mean to be truly intelligent in this new era—and how do we protect and elevate human intelligence in the process? McKinsey’s analysis on generative AI forecasts that by 2030, up to 30% of work hours in the U.S. could be handled by machines, highlighting a growing urgency for the workforce to strengthen skills in areas like critical thinking and emotional intelligence.So, in a world rapidly reshaped by AI, how do we safeguard and elevate the distinct power of human intelligence (HI)? Can technology serve as a tool for connection, rather than a replacement?In this episode of Just Thinking, host Kevin Dougherty speaks with Dr. Michael Harvey, Teacher in Charge of Electronics and Director of E-learning at Marlborough Boys College in Blenheim, New Zealand. Drawing from Māori knowledge systems and his work in the Human Intelligence Movement, Dr. Harvey explores how AI can enhance—not replace—human intelligence (HI), especially when grounded in indigenous principles of collective learning, relational teaching, and community connection.Key moments from the conversation:Dr. Harvey explains how indigenous frameworks and relational learning models in New Zealand emphasize the collective over the individual—offering an alternative to traditional Western metrics of intelligence.He shares how AI tools, when used thoughtfully, can enhance social-emotional learning by providing data-driven insights into student well-being and engagement.Harvey makes the case for radically reimagining education—from abolishing age-based grade levels to fostering student-teacher role reversals—as part of a broader transition to human-centric learning.Dr. Michael Harvey is a future-focused educator and digital learning leader with expertise in integrating AI, culturally responsive pedagogy, and learner agency into secondary education. As Director of E-learning and Electronics at Marlborough Boys College, he leverages tools like ChatGPT, NotebookLM, and AR/VR to design inclusive, metacognitive learning experiences grounded in both cutting-edge tech and Māori educational values. Harvey’s international teaching experience, content development roles, and leadership in communities like the AI Forum of New Zealand reflect his commitment to reimagining education for equity, innovation, and human connection. | — | ||||||
| 4/24/25 | ![]() Just Thinking… about Reimagining Education for the AI Era with the Human Intelligence Movement | As artificial intelligence reshapes education, work, and daily life, educators are grappling with how to prepare students for a future where human skills—not just knowledge—will be paramount. In fact, a growing number of reports highlight that employers increasingly value collaboration, communication, and emotional intelligence over memorized content. Amid this transformation, the Human Intelligence Movement is gaining traction as a grassroots call for reimagining how we teach and learn.So, what does it really mean to equip students with “human intelligence” in an AI-driven world—and how can our schools rise to meet the moment?In this episode of Just Thinking, host Kevin Dougherty speaks with Dr. Michelle Ament, Co-President of the Human Intelligence Movement. Together, they explore why now is the time for bold change in education—and how we move from theory to action.Main topics of conversation…Outdated education models: Dr. Ament argues that schools are still stuck in a “knowledge era” mindset, preparing students for a world that no longer exists. Instead, she advocates for realigning education around application, critical thinking, and adaptability.Redefining assessment and success: Traditional assessments focus on knowledge acquisition, but the Human Intelligence Movement calls for measuring skills like emotional intelligence, adaptability, and collaboration—key competencies for future-ready learners.Learning through doing: Dr. Ament champions experiential, student-driven learning. Whether it’s student-run banks or real-world problem-solving, she shares how hands-on, relevant learning inspires deeper engagement and skill-building.Dr. Michelle Ament, EdD, is an education leader with deep expertise in experiential learning, human-centered curriculum design, and systems-level transformation. As Chief Academic Officer at ProSolve, she pioneered a K–8 human skills curriculum and developed the Learning, Experienced (LXP) model to embed real-world problem solving and social-emotional learning into schools. In her role as Co-President of the Human Intelligence Movement, she is leading a national effort to shift education away from standardized assessments toward a future that prioritizes adaptability, critical thinking, and collaboration in an AI-driven world. | — | ||||||

| 3/21/25 | ![]() Funding Crisis Hits California’s Rural Schools: Advocates Call for Action Now! | As federal funding hangs in the balance, California’s rural school districts face a stark challenge: how to maintain essential services amid the uncertain future of the Secure Rural Schools Act. Originally established to offset declines in timber revenue from federal lands, the Act has become a lifeline for hundreds of districts. But after failing to gain reauthorization in 2024, many schools now confront steep budget cuts—some losing up to 20% of their funding. | — | ||||||
