AI detection may be fueling the very behavior we’re trying to prevent. Better detection → better ways around it → better detection... Where does that arms race leave trust and transparency in the classroom? 🎧 More in our latest episode: bit.ly/4cC7Wmh #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation

What are your teacher prep pain points 🤔? We’ve got recommendations for how AI can help you and your students. #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation 🆕 Start Where it Hurts: mindfulaiedu.substack.com/p/start-wher...

Say you’ve got an old assessment that could use a refresh. AI can:

Update vocabulary to match what you now emphasize in class.

Reformat for clarity or consistency (especially helpful if different teachers drafted materials).

Rewrite prompts or questions to match updated standards or test styles.

Tweak rubrics—adjust point values, reword criteria, add categories you missed.

Once I’ve created a core assessment, I can ask AI to adjust it in a variety of ways depending upon my students’ needs. Some possibilities include:

Lowering the reading level for ELLs or students reading below grade level.

Reducing the number of questions for students with accommodations requiring fewer items.

Simplifying the language without watering down the concepts.

Shifting question formats—for example, turning open-ended questions into matching or true/false.
