They don\u2019t have enough time. So anything that\u2019s managing their time, managing their tasks, helping them get through the day, I think has really helped them become more open to using generative AI.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0Remember when a classroom had four walls, a blackboard, and rows of desks? Not anymore.<br><br>With online schools growing by over 30 percent in recent years, virtual education is reshaping learning for millions of students across the country. How is online learning and AI transforming student learning? How can teachers prepare for the virtual landscape? And what does the future of online education hold?<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0I think learning is going to look more like game-based learning, more inquiry-based learning. I think it\u2019s going to be more personalized. Today we\u2019re<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0joined by Niyoka McCoy, the Chief Learning Officer at Stride Incorporated. With decades of experience, Nyoka has been a driving force in online education, leading the design of one of the nation\u2019s top teacher training programs, tailored for effective virtual instruction.<br><br>She\u2019ll walk us through how education is evolving and what this transformation means for students, teachers, and families everywhere. Nyoka, welcome to the show. We\u2019re very excited to have you here.<br><br><strong>Naoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0Once again, welcome to the show. You know, Naoka, this is almost unfair. We know each other too well. I\u2019ve always been proud of your work. You run, I think, the best teacher training program in America. You were a Teach for America alum, and they\u2019ve developed an amazing reputation over the last 20-25 years in terms of developing teachers who have a strong belief system around what\u2019s possible for kids, and they are willing to go wherever they need to go, even in some of the most challenged schools in the country.<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0So when I was at Spelman, I used to do some work at the YMCA and another local school in the area. And so I knew I wanted to be a teacher. TFA came to our school and kind of gave us some information about what they were doing. I felt like I needed to apply. I was like, this might be my great way, a segue into getting into a school quickly, right out of undergrad.<br>I went through the application process, which is very extraneous. There was a lot that you had to do to answer a lot of questions, go through a lot of interview processes, and then I did my student teaching, which is what they called it back then in Houston. And so I felt like that was a great experience for me, to be around other people who were trying to do the same thing, and we were all learning together, all nervous and stuff.<br><br>that we were going to be in classrooms by ourselves and actually be able to lesson plan and come up with great ideas for students late at night, but together, and to be prepared and then teach with a cohort of people that had the same passion. It\u2019s almost a missionary mindset, right? You want to go into these inner-city schools and turn things around.<br><br>And so we all had that same mindset and we were able to collaborate and work together. And I think that\u2019s where I see. I had some of my most creative ideas. We didn\u2019t have a lot of resources either. We were back then cutting circles out of construction paper by hand to engage students. It was a lot of math manipulatives.<br><br>You were making those and then preparing to deliver a new lesson to brand new students that you\u2019ve never met before. So it really helped me become more confident in being a teacher and also more confident in what I was actually teaching. I was teaching ELA and social studies back then.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0Well, since you left TFA and your experience in Houston, you\u2019ve worked in several schools.<br><br>You\u2019ve run schools and now you\u2019re at Stride Incorporated, the largest online education company in the country. You\u2019re the chief learning officer, and you have been doing amazing work even during the midst of the online education boom that we all experienced post-COVID. Talk a little bit about the online learning process and your transition, you know, teaching in a traditional brick and mortar environment to trying to understand, develop, learn.<br><br>And excel in teaching in an online setting.<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah, I think that\u2019s an interesting question. And I get that a lot, Kevin. They\u2019re like, how did you make that transition? Why online learning? And I think for me, when I left brick and mortar, it was just so enticing for me to come into an online space and work.<br><br>On a screen and work with students who are also on the other side of a computer. But I think one of the most important things is being an edutainer in this space. It\u2019s very different than being in a classroom where you can actually put your hand on a child\u2019s shoulder and wake them up.<br><br>You have to wake them up across the screen. Which means you have to be still super engaging. You have to be ready to compete with all the things that are happening in their home. And so edutainment is something that we really lean into, especially when we\u2019re talking to our teachers, especially when we\u2019re preparing them for the online classroom.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0You know, what\u2019s interesting when, I joined Stride, about the time we met many years ago and I was sitting in those classes, I had my own sort of reawakening because like a lot of folks, I wondered how can you engage a classroom full of students, 20, 30 students.<br><br>And when I heard you, of course, I think you coined the phrase, but when I heard you say edutainer, and then I saw how you developed the professional development program for teachers, it was like a light bulb went on. Talk about this whole professional development area and how, based on the circumstances of how and where kids learn, it\u2019s all changing.<br><br>This idea of changing. Teacher\u2019s mindset from that traditional stand in front of the classroom. Kids sit still and be quiet. Lecture to them. Kids take notes. They spit it back to you in a test a couple of weeks later. Then they forget it. I mean, how do you move from that?<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0So I think you also have to have, the curriculum to support it, right? You have to have the resources. And so what we do is we really focus with teachers on a lot of different strategies. One, you know, you\u2019re just thinking about being on camera. What are some of the best practices? Think about your lighting.<br><br>Some of the things that we don\u2019t think about when we are on camera. You don\u2019t think about your lighting, your microphone, whether or not it\u2019s loud enough. Can the kids hear you? But then also that it\u2019s okay to dress up, right? So, you know, when you were in the classroom, you know, And you had a book day, you came in dressed up as Alice in Wonderland.<br><br>You can still do that on screen and engage our kids. And I think it\u2019s important to also then pull in some of that engaging content and curriculum that we also have to serve students. Um, and then also making sure that we lean into game-based learning and gamified learning. So, you know, this idea of like having kids join you in a Minecraft world to play a game, to learn about Jamestown.<br><br>Interesting. They spend all their time on their phones, on their tablets, whether it\u2019s in Minecraft or Roblox, they\u2019re doing something. So why aren\u2019t we meeting them where they are? So we have to meet their energy, but also meet them in the spaces where they\u2019re spending most of their time. So we train teachers how to be comfortable with that.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0Well, you know, this idea of being an edutainer in terms of your teaching approach to students in an online setting. It encompasses so many things. You mentioned game-based learning. Talk a little bit about that. I know at the schools that you, sort of oversee the learning process, they use Minecraft.<br><br>Uh, you know, there\u2019s Dungeons and Dragons. There are all these games that, Parents are used to their kids, playing after school, but now in the online setting, teachers are integrating it into the learning process. Talk about that because for old school educators, that\u2019s almost blasphemy. They\u2019re like, wait a minute, what are you talking about there?<br><br>But, there are studies that show the benefit of it. So talk a little bit about that process.<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0Definitely. I mean, you have to think about it. Pac Man was my favorite game. If my teacher would have brought Pac Man in the classroom, I would have probably been way more engaged. And so what we do, Minecraft is the number one game played in the world.<br><br>The average player is 26 years old. So you think about it, it\u2019s like, why wouldn\u2019t we be spending our time there? And so what we did is we really focused on building Minecraft worlds that align with our curriculum. And so instead of it being a remediation tool, which most gamification or game-based learning pieces are, we really want to teach brand new skills to students in-game.<br><br>So connecting play and learning is very important. And so that\u2019s why we really lean into working with Minecraft first because they\u2019re the number one game, right? So our partnership now is we\u2019re moving towards working on some game builds using Roblox to again, engage students. That\u2019s the number two game.<br>Um, and so just really trying to lean into where our kids are spending their most of their time, but then also not using it a tool to just kind of get them to practice and do remote, you know, skills and think about all of the new skills and higher order thinking that they can do within those games. So that\u2019s really where we\u2019re leading and where we\u2019re leaning towards.<br><br>And that\u2019s where we\u2019re heading. And I think a lot of other schools are looking around and saying, Oh, that\u2019s really cool. Like, why didn\u2019t we think about that? So we\u2019re also creating lesson plans to go along with that. So if you\u2019re in a brick-and-mortar building and you decide that you want to use one of our Minecraft worlds, we have lesson plans that go along with that.<br><br>So we can help you stand that up so that you can understand how game-based learning works and how it will increase academic achievement.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong> You mentioned something that really, uh,\u00a0 resonated with me, and that\u2019s this idea of using Minecraft is not a remediation to tool, but it\u2019s a tool to begin that learning process and that learning journey on how you understand and develop knowledge around the basics and, uh, when online learning started, it was viewed by many school districts as an alternative education, but Uh, vehicle for remediation, but we\u2019ve kind of over the years and COVID again helped with this flip the script where it\u2019s not just a remedial tool, it is a tool that can be the entry point to the learning journey.<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0Yep, I agree with you there. I wholeheartedly, we want our students to actually learn new skills in game and not necessarily to remediate. Our goal is to capture them before they need remediation, right? So make sure that we have the best teaching strategies, the best teachers, the best curriculum and content in front of them that\u2019s teaching them those initial skills that they need to know right now, and trying to eliminate the need for remediation, offering them numerous chances to master their skills and objectives in different ways and also understanding that every child learns differently.<br><br>We can\u2019t keep putting the same things in front of children.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0You\u2019ve been ahead of the game in terms of integrating this approach to AI in the school community. Talk a little bit about what you\u2019re doing as the Chief Learning Officer for Stride in making sure that AI is used the right way and not misused in the process.<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0Yep, I think that\u2019s very important. So what we\u2019re trying to do is actually enable technology through AI to help students reach academic achievement. And that means helping, with tools, create tools to help them actually either deepen their learning. But also help teachers remove some of the administrative practices that they have to do on a daily basis.<br><br>So if you\u2019re creating lesson plans, you know, and you\u2019re using AI, you still have to review those lesson plans, even if it\u2019s AI-generated. You still have to put your eyes on it. There\u2019s still a human element to every piece that we\u2019re doing. And we try to make sure that we have a human factor, even if you\u2019re creating assessment questions or creating a project, right?<br><br>Making sure that we have the right level of rigor. That means a teacher, our content experts\u2019 eyes need to be on that AI-developed asset. And so I think that\u2019s one of the things that we\u2019re really trying to lean into and then also making sure our students understand what generative AI is, how to be responsible when using it.<br><br>And then also, I think changing out the way that we assess. Assess students, you know, everyone\u2019s like, oh, well, they\u2019re using and putting in the questions and getting the answer. Well, if you give them an assignment that forces them to use and then they have to either use higher order thinking to, you know, reorder paragraphs or do something different with something that was created in a, you\u2019re putting a spin on it and it\u2019s not becoming.<br><br>Uh, something that\u2019s so scary to use in the classroom. So we\u2019re really trying to help people get comfortable with it. Students as well, parents, and teachers. So everybody has to have that conversation to understand how we\u2019re using it. And we\u2019re really transparent about what that looks like. So having those conversations about, you know, where we\u2019re using it, how we\u2019re using it.<br>But we\u2019re not using it to replace any human. It\u2019s supporting and making things a little bit easier. And really removing some of the administrative tasks for teachers.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0Years ago when Google became popular, kids could use Google to sort of look up an answer. Like they get a history question and you know, you had to make sure they didn\u2019t have those, you know, those phones next to them when they were taking those exams because they could easily get the answer.<br><br>And this is next-level stuff. So the question I, I pose, Nyoka, is, even with sort of the guardrails you\u2019re putting on students\u2019 usage with AI, is the utilization of the AI tool for students still a means by which they can develop their cognitive thinking and critical thinking skills? Or does it replace it?<br><br>You know what I mean? Because even if you\u2019re talking about their reordering paragraphs, how do you make sure they\u2019re getting those skills while they have this sophisticated tool?<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah, so it\u2019s important for us to train our teachers to be able to use those tools effectively as well, right? So we\u2019re talking about having them.<br>Take something that\u2019s been created in AI and then create, you know, draw your own image from it. Or so really thinking about other ways that they can show their, one, their creativity, but also show their work. So moving into more project-based learning where it\u2019s real-world applications, so really utilizing that to help put a spin on it.<br><br>Uh, one, it removes the surface level of just me, just asking a question and getting an answer, but it forces me to think beyond that. And so I think that that\u2019s one of the ways that we\u2019re trying to lean To when we\u2019re using generative AI when it comes to assessing students or working with students, but then also having them, you know, we, I think we ran a contest for them to actually create images using AI with certain prompts.<br><br>Right? So then they have to understand what the, what the engineering of prompting. What does that look like? Prompting is hard. I try to use AI almost every day and I tell you, prompting I get better and better at it. But at the beginning, I wasn\u2019t getting anything that I wanted. Right? So having to trying to show them those skills as well because we live in a technical space.<br><br>Our children are on devices all day. They\u2019re, they\u2019re experimenting and downloading different apps. So trying to help them really be responsible around that. But then also trying to figure out how do we direct that. To have them think more critically about what they\u2019re doing and what they\u2019re learning as they\u2019re using generative AI.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0Many teachers were afraid of AI, but that one piece of it taken off the administrative burdens. That\u2019s huge because for teachers, that was their big number one complaint. But you\u2019ve seen generally now that the teachers at, uh, at Stride are more adept at using it. Is it working?<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, I think that teachers are coming around, right?<br>Like you said, it was a bad word. Everybody\u2019s like, I don\u2019t want to use it. I don\u2019t know how to use it. I don\u2019t even want to get into that space, right? But once you start showing them, Tools that can help them manage their day, that can help them manage their schedules. Managed emails are tools that can help them quickly script an email that they need to send out to all their families or create a satisfaction survey, you know, to get feedback directly from your parents.<br><br>It becomes a little bit easier as they\u2019re kind of walking, not necessarily running, but walking into this space and really trying to take some time to understand. How all the tools work. Um, I think that that has alleviated some of the stress and some of the anxiety around it, especially if they\u2019re using it on their daily, in their daily basis, on their phones, you know, especially calendaring.<br><br>All of those things using AI have become easily accessible and it helps you manage your time. And what do teachers always say? They don\u2019t have enough time. Yeah. So anything that\u2019s managing their time, managing their tasks, helping them get through the day, I think has really helped them become more open to using generative AI.<br><br><strong>Kevin P. Chavous:<\/strong>\u00a0So what advice would you give to parents, who are now faced with the idea of checking homework, going to a whole different level because of AI?<br><br><strong>Niyoka McCoy:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah, I think for parents, one thing I as a parent myself, I have a 13 year old who is definitely already using AI. Think for her, like if she\u2019s using it, you know, my questions to her are all about what did she actually learn?<br>Right? So I actually have downloaded a few apps and then I\u2019ll test them out myself. And then I test them with her to see how does, how does she like it? You know, is it, uh, is it an app that\u2019s actually just giving her the answer to a question? Or is it using a similar question to teach her that skill? There are some apps that do that.<br><br>They don\u2019t give you the exact answer. They\u2019ll flip that, flip that question around and give it to you in a different, a different way, but you\u2019re still solving for the same skill. Um, and so those are the apps that you want to look into and really utilize with your children. And then also just have conversations with them about how to use it responsibly, how to make sure that they\u2019re actually learning and critically thinking about the way AI is presenting ideas.<br><br>And in some cases, after a while. If AI is, if your kid is constantly using AI, they start to kind of sound alike. So you think about things that you could really catch, uh, always the little images that come before a paragraph, dark, bolded letters and topics. There are some things that you can catch to see, but then that\u2019s just a teachable moment for you to have a conversation with your child about how they can use it better and more responsibly before submitting anything to their teacher or in the school, in the school setting.<br><br><strong>Kevin P.
