Such an interesting and informative article, Josh! Totally agree with you on the importance of transparent teaching. I especially like what you say here: "But to be successful, transparent teaching must rely on a strong teacher-student relationship. We must remember that students are not simply widgets in the educational machine, being minted by their teachers. Instead, the learning process is more akin to that of a plant growing, needing consistent nurture over time to enable its flourishing."
Our students need to know educators are invested in them as human beings.
ChatGPT is really something, but there have always been ways for students to cheat. If they haven't learned the lesson already, cheating doesn't help them learn...and it erodes character. The student loses and so does their community as a whole. We should remind students of this.

Thanks Antonette! Totally agree with what you're saying. Transparency is a core part of my pedagogical strategy, so I'm glad to hear it is resonating!
