I write about teaching, learning, and AI with a focus on what actually transfers once the structure disappears. No tool roundups. No trend chasing. Just clear thinking about what schools reward, what they miss, and what’s still worth protecting.

You’ll find essays on:

• Transferable skills and why they’ve become harder to see

• AI as a stress test for curriculum, assessment, and judgment

• Why systems prefer legibility over learning

• What strong teaching looks like under pressure

• How to stay human in work that’s increasingly automated

This is for teachers, coaches, and school leaders who want depth over speed and clarity over certainty.

It’s not for hot takes, hustle culture, or “10 strategies by Tuesday.”

I’m Jake Carr. I’ve spent 15+ years teaching across K–12 and now work as an edtech coach, writer, and speaker. This Substack is where I slow things down and think carefully, in public.
