5 ways AI for teachers can cut workload in K-12 schools. Here is what actually helps.
Educator capacity
Build capacity for your educators.
Increased efficiencies, better collaboration, data-driven decision making and improved alignment enable educators to do more with less.
How it works
More teaching time, better collaboration.
Four ways Edsby helps educators do more with less, in one platform built just for K-12.
When routine things get easier, teachers get more time for teaching.
- Easier 1:1 and 1-to-many
Built in messaging makes it easy to coordinate with colleagues and students. Parent communication doesn’t require having to manage parents’ email addresses.
- Faster, better assessment
An integrated gradebook, standards-based assessment, formative assessment and evidence of learning capture can be configured to the district or region’s standards. They simplify grading and feedback.
- Routine workflows simplified
Attendance is easy in Edsby. Sharing assessment results takes one click. Parent-teacher interviews can be booked in, and performed remotely, via Edsby. Evidence capture, progress reports, report cards and more are all streamlined.
- AI timesavings
The Edsby AI Teacher Assistant puts the most useful capabilities of generative AI in the hands of teachers in a safe and easy way. It helps speed grading, enables faster generation of course material, quizzes, report card comments, and more.
Educators can work closer with colleagues than ever before.
- Share best practices, resources, and strategies
Built-in Professional Learning Community groups (PLCs) in Edsby facilitate educators sharing and collaborating even if they can’t ever all meet at the same time.
- District-wide or region-wide collaboration
Collaborative groups can be set up automatically, making it easy for a whole district, or even a whole state/province’s teachers to work together.
Real-time insight into how students are doing, so teachers can adjust right away.
- Real time course corrections
Educators can make adjustments based on current student performance data using a variety of built-right-in Edsby Perspective views for how a class is performing.
- ID students needing support
Early warning & intervention tools like Edsby Zooms enable teachers to know which students could benefit from extra attention.
- 360° view of students
A student’s Edsby Panorama is only ever a click away, which puts their comprehensive academic history, parent information, attendance records and more at their teachers’ fingertips.
- In-depth analytics
Full school, district or region-wide student analytics are available with Edsby’s optional Learning Analytics add-on.
Give your teachers ways to sing from the same song sheet.
- Consistent tools & resources
Equip all educators in your school, district, or region with the same high-quality resources using Edsby Learning Object Repositories (LORs). Automatically apply approved materials to classes using course modeling at the start of every year.
- Make teachers portable
When teachers move between schools, if they already know the official Edsby system used in their new school, it speeds their effectiveness.
