Understanding SchoolAI

Learn what SchoolAI can do for your classroom

Teaching is a lot. SchoolAI is designed to help carry the load — not by replacing what you do, but by assisting in the prep, the planning, and the personalized support so you can spend more time actually teaching.

SchoolAI helps you:

  • Save time — spend less energy on admin and prep work

  • Personalize learning — give every student a tailored experience, at their own pace

  • Eliminate busywork — no more starting lesson plans, quizzes, and worksheets from scratch

  • See the full picture — monitor student activity, flag concerns, and keep learning on track

Spaces

Spaces are the heart of SchoolAI. They're AI-powered learning experiences that you only need to build once to launch students on countless unique and adaptive journeys. Like a teaching assistant that's always available, never gets tired, and knows exactly what each student needs.

You set the parameters. Students get a personalized conversation that meets them where they are.

Just a few things Spaces can do:

  • Let students "interview" historical figures like Frederick Douglass or Harriet Tubman

  • Turn a YouTube video into an interactive lesson with built-in comprehension checks

  • Act as a subject tutor that helps students work through their assignments

  • Serve as a bellringer to kick off class or an exit ticket to close it out

  • Support language learners in their own language

You don't have to build from scratch, either. The Discover section is SchoolAI's library of over 200,000 teacher-created Spaces, searchable by topic, subject, or grade level. Whether you need an "Ancient Egypt Exploration" or a "Creative Writing Workshop," chances are someone's already built it. Browse, preview, and launch directly from Discover — or use it as a starting point and make it your own.

As students work, you get a real-time view of their activity: what they're engaging with, how well they're understanding the material, and even how they're feeling that day.

Tools

Tools are for everything that happens before students ever open their laptops. Lesson plans, quizzes, worksheets, IEP goals, syllabi — with Tools you can generate any of these in seconds, already adapted to your grade level, subject, and standards.

Some of the most-used tools include:

  • Lesson plans

  • Syllabi

  • Quizzes

  • IEP goals

  • Worksheets

Once you generate a document with tools, it lands in a built-in text editor where you can refine it, swap out sections, and make sure it sounds like you. Your students know your style — a quick pass before sharing goes a long way.

Assistants

Think of Assistants as your on-call team of specialists — always ready to brainstorm, draft, advise, or give feedback, whatever you need in the moment.

  • Dot — Your go-to for any subject or task.

  • Coteacher — Your all-purpose thought partner. Ask it to help plan a lesson, write a parent email, or suggest classroom management strategies.

  • Space Designer — Helps you build fun, engaging Spaces for your students without starting from a blank page.

  • Common Core Expert — Takes the guesswork out of standards alignment. Ask how a lesson maps to Common Core concepts or get help adjusting your approach.

  • Curriculum Coach — Zooming out to plan a full course? This one helps you get organized and build out everything you need.

  • Essay Grading Assistant — Evaluates student writing against your rubric, covering grammar, structure, argumentation, and clarity for consistent, impartial feedback.

  • Field Trip Coordinator — From brainstorming destinations to drafting a permission slip, handles the logistics so you can focus on the experience.

  • Project-Based Activity Expert — Brainstorms and plans engaging PBL activities around whatever topic or standard you're working on.

  • Research Assistant — Digs into any topic so you don't have to start from scratch.
