Campfire Session — Can't Fake It: How Oral Assessments Show What Students Really Know in the Age of AI

​AI can write the essay, solve the problem set, and summarize the reading - so how do we know what students actually understand? More and more teachers are finding the answer in short, structured conversations. Jon Bergmann, one of the pioneers of the flipped classroom and creator of the MasteryFlip framework, shares what he's learning from his own classroom and from teachers around the world: how brief oral checks surface misconceptions early, how students can rehearse their thinking out loud with Flint before the real conversation, and how to make it work with large classes and limited time. Bring your questions - we'll leave plenty of room for them.
