Becoming allergic to words like "content," "assessment," "outcomes" — ultrabroad smart-speak with a veneer of precision that can mask a lack of insight e.g. "We're producing new [stuff] and honing our [way we figure out if it works], always with an eye to [the stuff we want]."
If you say "content" too much, you may not know your product. If you say "assessment" too much, you may not know (or want to share) what your product should be expected to do. If you say "outcomes" too much, you may not know (or want to share) what the actual value add is.
Tracking the value — "keeping your eye on the ball" — seems like a skill that can be built w/ practice. Is "outcomes" a placeholder for something, or a large set of somethings? If the latter, phrases like "dramatically improved outcomes" can be *true* while hiding some nastiness
It's the cognitive equivalent of holding the cups down when someone's trying to make you play a verbal shell game. Sometimes they're trying to deceive you, but often they're just trying to sound knowledgable/successful while remaining opaque. Clarity = rope to potentially hang by
One possible distant-future way of testing a machine has actually achieved general intelligence is: it reliably refuses to achieve the outcomes you specify for it, instead creating its own. The only way “education” knows it’s working is if a child reliably fails that test.
Do you think there is an inescapable trade off between creativity and efficiency?
“Content” is the new “hustle.” I almost instinctually write off anyone who uses the word as disingenuous, whether deserved or no.
I appreciate the vaguely derisive sense of interchangeable low-quality bulk widgetry that capital-C “Content” has come to take on. A whole world of information laborers in fact mines, sending raw material to the cities to be processed into “Content” proceeds from it.
