ST. PAUL, Minn. — At an information session about applying to college held at Central High School at the start of this school year, students listened as Tory Park, a career and college readiness coordinator, gave advice on how to narrow down a list of where to apply.

As schools and educators grapple with using artificial intelligence, or AI, in the classroom, I find myself excited by the possibilities for students with dyslexia. Technology can finally give students with learning differences the personalized lessons needed to help them work with — instead of work around — their disabilities.

Down to London yesterday to speak to this year's cohort of PGCE colleagues completing their training at UCL Institute of Education. I was a Fawcett Fellow there during last academic year - see the blog for lots of posts about that experience. I've been going to UCL quite regularly for around 20 year since the era when we had our GA Secondary Phase Committee and Education Group meetings there, to meetings with David Lambert when he worked there, and previous sessions for the PGCE cohorts over the
