Big 3

Your Weekly Big 3 are clear, actionable, and directly aligned with your purpose: 1. Propose UI changes—mainly around top and right navigation menus—with David and Jeremie. 2. Set up meetings for dialogue with pairs/small groups of teachers—during TTT time or at another more convenient slot. 3. Activate new or dormant connections with Writing Project directors and others—stir the pot a bit more. What I love here is that each Big 3 item moves you further toward meaningful impact. You’re not just “doing stuff”—you’re pushing for visible change (UI progress), deepening feedback loops (teacher dialogues), and expanding your network’s energy (reaching out to WP folks). To help these stick, consider:
- For UI changes: What exactly will you deliver—a clickable mockup, annotated screenshots, or a written spec? When will this get reviewed? - For teacher dialogues: How will you invite participation? Any specific questions or goals you want to draw out in these sessions? - For connection-building: Have you identified who gets first contact? Is your message ready so it’s easy to send/repeat? How do these Weekly Big 3 feel compared to last week? Anything that feels sharper—or any concerns about scope/feasibility this time? Monday

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Collaborating (Jun 23 2025 10:23PM) : I kept the running schedule, even though I was running on an elliptical in the gym on our building. Still I went three times, and ran a total of 10.5 miles. more

Collaborating with Paul A's edits:

You keeping that schedule steady is showing some real discipline. Even doing your runs on the elliptical, you still made sure to put in those miles and didn’t let the location stop you. That consistency speaks to dedication, and it’s got a certain rhythm to it—just like routines in other parts of life. When you map out those rituals (morning, workday startup/shutdown, evening), do any parts of your run or workout routine slide into those ritual slots for you?

Would you like me to go on?

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Collaborating (Jun 23 2025 1:39PM) : Another thought... if I'm understanding the repository of PDFs correctly... We might be able to add articles of diverse opinions on a subject to this repository and ask a Writing Partner to bring all points of view to the conversation. I wonder if that would work. more

Collaborating with Paul A's edits:

You on to something! Bringing in a mix of articles with different opinions to your PDF repository can really open up the conversation and push folks to look at things from more than just one perspective. When you ask a Writing Partner to put all these viewpoints into play, it helps cut down on that echo-chamber effect—that’s how you keep research fresh and critical. Thinking about audience here: who you tryna reach or help see this bigger picture?

Want me to add more thoughts?

Not sure how helpful the images here are. Perhaps they can show that my thinking is still fluid on this question of navigation, & I can use them to start a conversation that will lead to more sense and consensus. We are trying to clarify how we are adding AI-guidance to an annotation site. #eduskyAI

Hi Bonnee and Sam,
I’m trying to be more strategic and transparent in my invitations to TTT during these summer months, and more flexible
about when we meet. Specifically, I’m going to sponsor a series of dialogues with teachers like you who are using AI and
Writing Partners.
You are the first two that I’m inviting. Could you meet with me for a conversation about your work so far with AI and Writing
Partners and how you see it evolving?
I want to invite you to tell stories of projects, assignments, or moments that are “gold” for helping us to understand how AI
is impacting our teaching and students’ learning. Also we can identify any hurdles or issues that you are facing. In
addition, I will be looking for ideas from you for our Writing Partners redesign that we are working on this summer.
Let’s do this!
Would you be available to be interviewed on TTT this Wednesday, June 25th at 8:00 ET? If not, let’s find another time that
works for the three of us.
Thank you!
Paul Allison, Project Director

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Collaborating (Jun 24 2025 2:08PM) : Second day in a row that I haven't gotten to the reach out to Flint Hills, Drew, Arizona, Greater Kansas City, Philadelphia. I wonder if I need to figure out my why more on this. more

Collaborating with Paul A's edits:

Alright, Paul, looks like you already got a clear sense of your top tasks for the day. That honest reflection on why you haven’t made those calls yet shows some real self-awareness. Sometimes, reconnecting with your deeper motivation or purpose can help move things from “should” to “want to.” What draws you to connecting with those regions—what difference do you want that work to make? Want to talk it out more?

Want me to keep going?

Paul A Paul A (Jun 24 2025 8:43AM) : Basic Workshop -- So it's not one of my Daily Big 3, but I do really need to be thinking about and planning the workshop for tomorrow. more

The basic Writing Partners workshop is designed to give participants a first-hand experience with composing a script for AI assistants so they can better understand what happens when they and their students give directions use LLMs to guide their writing and learning. This is a start. #eduskyAI

Paul A Paul A (Jun 24 2025 2:05PM) : Just finished talking with David Cole about navigation redesign and we think that the next step is to have a TWO-Tabbed interface, with the right menu having a Dashboard tab and an AI tab. More to come... this takes time, iteration, collaboration!

Jun 24

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Collaborating (Jun 24 2025 2:06PM) : What do you think about this? I wonder if it is taking too long. more

Collaborating with Paul A's edits:

I like how you breaking down the process and making it clear that big changes like a navigation redesign need time, conversation, and playing with ideas. The way you say “just finished talking…” sets a collaborative vibe for your audience—folks can feel that this isn’t a solo mission. Naming the “TWO-Tabbed interface” shows progress, even as you admit things take time to lock in.

Do you want some thoughts on how your pacing or details might be landing with your audience? Or should we dig into the clarity of describing that next step? Want to keep going?

All right now, I see you stacking up some real moves today! Being on that Summer Symposium program? That’s momentum, and getting forward planning in—especially with folks who matter to your projects—means every bit is moving toward something intentional, not just noise. Love how you’re not only making those connections but also supporting others in their work. You think the “collaborative coaching” with Chris felt more natural partnership or did it lean facilitator-to-learner?

2. Our notion of tabs and sliders seems workable to him. He doesn’t see any problems immediately.

Paul A Paul A (Jun 27 2025 3:21PM) : A plan: [Edited] more

I’m going to try something at Lovely this afternoon.
I’m thinking that we might be able to keep the tabs at two: Create / Annotate… if we can add buttons within each of the AI assistant boxes for:

- Select (would send text from the left pane to the API)
- Chat (would open a discussion page with that assistant in the left pane)
- Edit (if you created it) / Remix (if not yours)

If we can do this we would not need a third top tab for chatting. (And I think this “AI assist” menu would be the same in both the Create and the Annotate views. The difference would be the kind of document. In the Create space the document would be the new one that Jeremie is creating. in the Annotate space we would continue with the paragraph-parsed uploaded poem, article, play, editorial… Let’s see if Lovely can make any of these thoughts clear.

Paul A Paul A (Jun 27 2025 3:01PM) : Here's the paragraph I composed for the article. more

WritingPartners (writingpartners.net), a GenAI platform designed for educational contexts, and ChatGPT, a widely-used general-purpose GenAI tool were used to support the teaching and practice of writing in this two-week workshop on college admission essay writing. Writing Partners is an AI-enhanced platform for social learning built on NowComment (nowcomment.com). A community of teachers and students use an OpenAI API to build customized AI partners that readers and writers use to spark and support their creation, annotation, and discussion of shared, multimodal texts. Writing Partners has a bank of AI assistants that have been scripted with detailed frameworks from composition theory and practice of the National Writing Project. Students and teachers choose from these collections of AI assistants and they make their own by carefully describing their teaching and learning processes and by capturing these in a prompt or a script that, after testing and iteration, becomes another AI assistant available to others on the site. Beyond a chatbot, Writing Partners is an ecosystem where human-centric AI creation is used to address reading and writing challenges students face while learning together online

Jun 27

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Collaborating (Jun 27 2025 3:02PM) : I hope this isn't too much jargon and inside baseball, but gives a flavor of what our project is about beyound just building an AI tool or even an AI platform. more

Collaborating with Paul A's edits:

Alright, you really painted a clear picture with how Writing Partners operates differently from a general tool like ChatGPT. I can see how you’re emphasizing the platform as more than just tech—it’s about shaping a community where students and teachers actually co-create their learning experiences through AI partners informed by solid writing theory. That combination of the social angle with customized AI guidance brings in a fresh flavor that does go beyond “inside baseball,” making it accessible to those outside your immediate field.

Would you like me to keep going with more feedback?

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jun 29 2025 4:35PM) : Time to reflect on last week and plan next week more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Section One: AFTER-ACTION REVIEW

Alright, let’s start strong by reflecting on last week and your Big 3—just like you suggested: Proposing UI changes, organizing teacher dialogues, and activating those Writing Project connections.

First up:

1. List 3-5 of your biggest wins from this week.

What stands out as your most satisfying or impactful accomplishments? These could be related to your Weekly Big 3 or any other area where you felt significant progress.

Can you share those wins with me?

Would you like to see more of the review and planning process after we discuss these wins?

Jul 1

Paul A Paul A (Jul 01 2025 10:27AM) : My wins from the week: more

1. It’s a win to get Sam Reed and Bonnee Bentum to do the AI Dialogue with me on Wednesday.
2. TTT was most definitely a win on Wednesday…
3. AND I’m left with a lot to think about and consider building and redesigning after the morning workshop. (I’m not sure this was a win, but it has left me lots to think about.)
4. Moving our design from scribbles on paper to a Loveable wireframe was a win too — although there is so much more to do here.
5. A really solid collaborative coaching session with Chris Sloan around developing Learning Theorist Simulators.

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 10:30AM) : Sometimes I worry that I'm just tinkering. That used to be a quality in my work that I was proud of, now I'm worried that tinkering will not lead to the influence that I want our work to be. more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Active Listening:

You really racked up some meaningful momentum this week! You brought Sam Reed and Bonnee Bentum into the AI Dialogue, which feels like a strong sign of your growing influence and ability to connect key people. TTT was a definitive win for you—sounds like something clicked or came together there. That morning workshop left your mind spinning with possibilities, even if it wasn’t an “easy” win—it’s fueling your creativity and direction moving forward. Translating those paper scribbles to a Loveable wireframe is such a tangible shift! That’s real progress, not just ideation. And that collaborative coaching session with Chris Sloan? It sounds energizing—especially around building out those Learning Theorist Simulators.

If you look at these wins through the lens of last week’s worries about “just tinkering,” what do you notice? Do any of these achievements feel more like true influence or foundational change rather than just incremental tinkering?

Which win stands out as the most meaningful or surprising for you right now?

Would you like to see more of the next section in our review process?

Jul 1

Paul A Paul A (Jul 01 2025 10:34AM) : When I think about the different wins that I listed, they are meaningful because I did them with someone--which is not true of the Wednesday AM workshop. I did that alone. So I thinking that I need to stay connected when I'm doing this work.

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 10:34AM) : What's next? more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Active Listening:

You’re noticing that the most satisfying or meaningful wins—like teaming up with Sam, Bonnee, and Chris—came from collaboration, not just solo effort. The workshop you did alone, even though it gave you a lot to think about, felt different and maybe less energizing. That’s powerful self-awareness. It sounds like connection is actually a core ingredient in what makes your work rewarding and impactful for you.

How do you see yourself intentionally building more of that collaborative energy into the projects or tasks ahead? Are there specific strategies or partnerships that would help keep those connections alive as you move forward with your next Big 3?

Would you like to see more of the review and planning process now?

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 10:36AM) : More review and planning, please. more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Section Two: GOAL REVIEW & LIST SWEEP

Let’s take a look at your overall landscape. This is where you review your goals and notes, update delegated or deferred tasks, and sweep through your task manager for anything that needs to be captured or re-prioritized.

- GOAL REVIEW: Which of your big-picture goals feel most alive right now? Are any in need of a tuneup or reframing based on what you experienced last week?
- DELEGATED & DEFERRED TASKS: Are there tasks or ideas you’ve parked for later or handed off—anything that now needs attention, clarification, or closure?
- DAILY NOTES: Did you jot down insights, action points, or quick wins throughout the week that deserve another look (or an upgrade to “real” tasks)?
- TASK MANAGER: Is your system (digital or analog) up-to-date? Any lingering open loops—or new ones created by the bursts of progress you made?

How are these areas feeling right now—anything leaping out as urgent, incomplete, or especially promising as you prepare for the next cycle?

Would you like to see more after this section?

Jul 1

Paul A Paul A (Jul 01 2025 10:42AM) : Goal Review and Delegated & Deferred Tasks more

Ok so I let marketing drop off almost dramatically. I gave up on my notion of reaching out to National Writing Project Directors. I need to follow through with SFUSD and Oakland Schools contracts. And Philadelphia. Some of this is easy and within my control. Other things just have to wait for a response from the powers that be — and it is the Summer after all. Further there are a couple of things I need to prioritize:

Meenoo Rami’s Photo Release forms"https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/":https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#starred/FMfcgzQbfpFZBjMfWqQbMbkXrNrPcbjw

14 state DPA – NowComment Bonnie Birdsall

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 10:46AM) : I hope all of this helps me make an effective plan for this week. more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Active Listening:

You’re noticing that marketing has slipped way down the list—almost vanished—which is big, given your earlier intention to reach out to National Writing Project Directors. It sounds like you’re aware of both what you’ve let slide and where you still have concrete action steps (like following through with SFUSD, Oakland Schools, and Philadelphia contracts). You recognize that some next moves are totally within your control, while others are on pause until people get back to you—classic challenge, especially in summer.

You’ve also identified two high-priority items: dealing with Meenoo Rami’s Photo Release forms and addressing the “14 state DPA – NowComment Bonnie Birdsall” task. That’s real clarity around what urgently needs attention versus what can simmer.

Given this mix of self-driven tasks and those waiting on external responses, how do you want to organize or sequence these priorities for the coming week? What would make it easiest for you to re-engage with marketing—or decide intentionally to let it rest a bit longer if it doesn’t fit right now?

Would you like me to walk us through the streak-tracker section next?

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 10:48AM) : Let's do the streak tracker. more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Section Three: STREAKTRACKER

Let’s focus in on your habit-goal progress for the week. This is a chance to see, at a glance, how consistently you’re showing up for the routines and micro-habits that fuel your bigger wins.

Here’s how this works:
For each habit or ritual (Morning Ritual, Workday Startup Ritual, Workday Shutdown Ritual, Evening Ritual, etc.), rate yourself on a scale of 1–7 based on how many days you completed it over the last week.

Example format:
- Morning Ritual: __/7
- Workday Startup Ritual: __/7
- Workday Shutdown Ritual: __/7
- Evening Ritual: __/7

You can also add any other habit-goals here—anything you’re tracking intentionally (exercise, daily outreach, reading time, etc.).

How did your streaks look this past week? Are there any rituals or habits that stand out as especially strong—or spots where you’d like to improve consistency?

Would you like to move into the next section after we look over these streaks?

Jul 1

Paul A Paul A (Jul 01 2025 10:57AM) : - Morning Ritual: 4/7 - Workday Startup Ritual: 5/7 - Workday Shutdown Ritual: 6/7 - Evening Ritual: 2/7

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 10:58AM) : I need to look at other more work related habits as well. more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Active Listening:

You hit your Workday Shutdown Ritual almost every day (6/7)—that’s a huge anchor for wrapping up strong and setting yourself up for tomorrow. Your Startup Ritual was also steady at 5/7, which probably helps you get moving in the right direction most mornings. Morning Rituals happened more than half the week, but not quite every day—while Evening Rituals were definitely the toughest to keep going (just 2/7).

It looks like you’re strongest during transition points at work, while personal or end-of-day habits might still need some support or adjustment. What do you think makes those evening rituals harder to stick with? Is it energy, distraction, unpredictability—or maybe just not having the right kind of ritual yet?

Where would you like to focus next week—to build on what’s working or to troubleshoot one of these challenging habit slots?

Would you like to see our next section on rejuvenation and self-care strategies?

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 11:00AM) : I just need to persist and get things done in the mornings in particular... but also get that closing Blusky post up. more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Section Four: REJUVENATION

Let’s turn the spotlight to you and your well-being. To keep all this progress sustainable, how you sleep, eat, move, connect, and relax matters just as much as checking off tasks.

Please identify three simple ways you could sleep, eat, move, connect with others (or yourself), or relax a bit better in the coming week. These don’t need to be huge changes—just practical tweaks or intentions.

For example:
- Go for a morning walk before starting work twice this week.
- Prep healthy snacks on Sunday to have quick options handy.
- Schedule a mid-week coffee catch-up (even virtually) with a friend or collaborator.

What comes to mind for you? How do you want to take care of your energy and focus outside of work next week?

Would seeing the next section on reviewing upcoming commitments help right now?

Jul 1

Paul A Paul A (Jul 01 2025 11:02AM) : I think I should just be more intentional about meeting with people around the different things I'm working on and do less "tinkering" alone (perhaps) -- though I'm conflicted: I need tinker time too.

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 11:03AM) : What's next? more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Active Listening:

You’re feeling that your well-being and creative energy are linked to collaboration—you want to be more intentional about connecting with others as you work on projects. At the same time, you recognize that some solo “tinker time” is necessary for deep thinking, prototyping, and reflection. There’s a tension here: too much alone-time feels isolating or less productive, but it’s also critical for breakthroughs.

How might you design your week so there’s space blocked off for both focused tinkering and scheduled collaborative check-ins? Would setting specific windows or days for each help with this balance—or does it feel more natural to let one flow into the other?

Would you like to see our next section—reviewing upcoming commitments (events, projects, tasks)—or would it help to brainstorm more self-care practices related specifically to this solo/collaboration balance?

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 11:07AM) : This is really helpful. Let's keep going. more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Section Five: WEEKLY OVERVIEW

Now let’s look forward. Reviewing your upcoming week sets the stage for everything else—making sure your calendar, projects, and to-dos work in harmony (and leave space for both collaboration and tinkering).

Let’s check off:
- EVENTS: Any scheduled meetings, workshops, or deadlines?
- PROJECTS: Which projects need dedicated focus this week? Are there milestones you want to reach?
- TASKS: What are the critical to-dos that can’t wait?
- OTHER COMMITMENTS: Anything personal or professional that needs your attention (appointments, family events, self-care blocks)?

How does your upcoming week look when you scan these categories? Are there any potential collisions—or opportunities for synergy between collaborative time and solo creative work?

Would you like to see the next step—identifying your Weekly Big 3 objectives based on all this review?

Jul 1

Paul A Paul A (Jul 01 2025 11:15AM) : It looks something like this. more

- EVENTS: TTT on Wednesday evening and a meeting with Iva Koberg on Thursday late afternoon.
- PROJECTS: David Cole and I need to get the Loveable design — more our own thinking ready for Iva.
- TASKS: Bring Marketing back to the center — after all it’s what makes the tinkering and the connections matter
- OTHER COMMITMENTS: Move toward 9 miles a day average – out three times. Finish unfinished reorganization of Writing Partners.

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 11:16AM) : Next Step. more

Weekly Preview Coach with Paul A's edits:

Active Listening:

Your week has some clear anchor events: TTT on Wednesday and a meeting with Iva Koberg Thursday afternoon. That’s useful structure for building in both collaborative moments and focused prep time. The main project priority is advancing the Loveable design work with David Cole so that you’re prepared to share fresh thinking with Iva—definitely a spot where solo tinkering and collaboration can fuel each other.

Bringing marketing back into focus feels like reclaiming an essential driver, not just a chore—since it amplifies both your creative work and those connection wins you care about. You’ve got some personal goals too, such as averaging nine miles a day (with three outings planned), plus finishing the Writing Partners reorganization.

When you look at this blend of meetings, projects, marketing work, movement, and organizational tasks—does it feel manageable? Any areas where things could bottleneck or spill over if something takes longer than expected?

Would you like to see the next step—naming your Weekly Big 3 objectives based on all these insights?

Jul 1

Paul A's Question Paul A and/or Weekly Preview Coach (Jul 01 2025 11:17AM) : Next please. I'm ready to start planning. more

Section Six: WEEKLY BIG 3

Let’s bring all your review, energy, and intention into sharp focus. Based on what you’ve shared—your events, project momentum, need for balance between tinkering and collaboration, plus a renewed marketing push—let’s set your Weekly Big 3. These anchor objectives should move the needle both for your work and well-being:

- 1. Complete an actionable prototype or wireframe with David Cole to share with Iva Koberg by Thursday.
- 2. Reignite marketing outreach (including NWP Directors)—set up at least two concrete next steps or send two key messages this week.
- 3. Lock in three intentional “connection” sessions (meetings or collaborative working blocks) to boost creativity and accountability—spread across different projects if possible.

Do these feel like the right top priorities based on everything you just reviewed? Is there anything missing—or would you tweak any of these Weekly Big 3 to make them feel more motivating or realistic?

Would you like to see the final section—a day-by-day Weekly Planner template?
