There will be a growing split in reform energy between K–8 and high school — with K–8 focusing more on how to apply evidence of what works, and high school focusing on fundamental purpose and design questions.

There will be a window of opportunity and pressure to reauthorize and fully fund IDEA that includes debate about the role of tutoring for students with disabilities.

Emily Freitag judged her predictions for 2023 and made new predictions for 2024. I will resolve this question based on how Emily Freitag judges her predictions for 2024.

If she judges a prediction correct then I will resolve it YES.
If she judges a prediction incorrect then I will resolve it NO.
If she judges a prediction somewhat correct/incorrect then I will resolve it to some percent based on my best interpretation of her judgment. FYI, I'm currently anchoring at 50%, but I could resolve to any percent.
If I can't use her judgements, then I may try to use my own best judgement. I may not be able to use her judgements if she doesn't make them, they are inaccessible to me, or they are corrupt in a manner that grossly undermines the truth-seeking spirit of this question. My own best judgment will attempt to reward those who were correct at the expense of those who were incorrect. If I'm not confident I can achieve that, then I will resolve N/A.

I will not bet on this question.

* I shortened prediction 2 to fit Manifold's character limit. The following is the full prediction.

AI solutions that make the teacher and leader roles easier and support students in reading, science, and social studies will get widespread uptake. Solutions that support language translation will particularly excel; solutions for math instruction will lag behind.
