The argument · in three moves

The final answer is no longer proof of understanding.

01 · THE PROBLEM

AI broke
the proxy.

For decades, the artifact stood in for the act of thinking. AI severed that contract. The page no longer tells us what happened in the mind.

02 · THE METHOD

Make thinking
visible.

Five principles for educators who want to evaluate what the mind did, not what the page contains. With a 20-minute version that works in any classroom.

Inside the manifesto

Thirty-eight pages. One position. A practical method built on it.

The Five Principles of the Method

From "the artifact is not the act" to "judgment cannot be outsourced." A coherent framework educators can apply this term, not next year.
A redesigned Marie Curie assignment, in full

One complete worked example. Five stages — Before AI, With AI, After AI, Final Work, Oral Defense. Adaptable to any subject.
The 20-minute version, for any teacher

A practice that fits inside a single class period. Twice a week, for a few weeks, and you begin to see a different kind of thinking in the room.
The seven capacities that must remain human

What we are actually defending in a thirteen-year-old when we say their thinking should remain their own.

She works daily with AI in real projects, and writes from the intersection of museum practice, parenting, and emerging technology.
