AI changes everything. Stanford's Dr. Denise Pope, Co-Founder of Challenge Success, returns to discuss the "volcanic level of change" in education.

In this episode, Dr. Pope reveals:

  • The WEB Foundation: Why Well-being, Engagement, and Belonging are critical defenses against cognitive offloading.

  • The Real Solution to Cheating: Why schools must shift to Authentic Assessment (real-world, engaging work).

  • Guiding Principles: How parents can use the "Does it make us better?" test for new technologies.

  • The Loneliness Risk: Why human-to-human connection and empathy are more vital than ever.
