Fox Curriculum designs courses, assessments, and instructional materials for the companies building what students actually use, then tests whether the design did what it claimed.
A school needed a full-year arts elective that would count for university admission, with nothing existing to build from.
Result: designed from a blank page and carried through University of California a-g subject-area review to approval.
First-generation college-bound seniors were missing not ability but a process for applying.
Result: 90% acceptance among participants, from a two-week program built backward from admission rather than forward from topics.
An AI-powered adaptive platform reported gains, and nobody had checked whether the gains were real or memorized.
Result: 70% → 75% accuracy at only 17% question overlap, which rules out memorization and leaves transfer.
A map that cannot survive questions about sequence, format, budget, and evaluation is not yet a map.
My doctoral research asks a simple, uncomfortable question: when a course is taught well and students still underperform, is it the students, or is it the design of the sequence they were taught with?

I doubt I am the only one, and I have spent a few weeks trying to work out whether what I am watching is a small stylistic tic or the front edge of something linguists will find obvious in thirty years…
🤖 I say please and thank you to AI, and I am not planning to stop.
There is a real argument happening right now over whether courtesy toward a language model is a harmless habit or a small act of self-delusion. The case against it is sound. Here is my rub: that case is measuring the wrong thing. My reasons have almost nothing to do with the AI…
