Artificial Intelligence Finally Gives Public School Teachers the Opportunity to Teach

Every student can continue learning after the classroom lesson ends.

Public school teachers want to teach children.

They want to watch students discover new ideas, overcome difficult problems, develop confidence, and grow into educated adults.

Instead, they spend an increasing portion of every school day grading assignments, maintaining records, completing required reports, administering tests, and performing other tasks that reduce the time they have to teach.

Every experienced classroom teacher knows that twenty-five students do not learn the same lesson in the same way or at the same pace.

For centuries, the most effective education was individual tutoring. A tutor could recognize confusion immediately, explain a concept in a different way, answer questions, provide additional exercises, and continue working with a student until the concept was understood.

But private tutoring has always been too expensive for public education.

Artificial Intelligence changes that by giving every classroom teacher a highly qualified Teaching Assistant (TA) capable of working individually with every student.

The teacher makes every educational decision. The teacher determines what students should learn, how mastery will be measured, and how the Teaching Assistant will help each individual student achieve those goals.

The Teaching Assistant provides additional explanations, more examples, additional practice, and individual encouragement tailored to the needs of each student.

Working under the direction of the classroom teacher, the Teaching Assistant extends the teacher’s reach beyond the classroom.

After each day’s lesson, learning continues. Homework becomes an opportunity for the Teaching Assistant to continue working with every student individually. Students who have mastered the material can explore the lesson in greater depth. Students who need additional help can receive additional explanations, examples, and practice until they understand the lesson. Throughout that process, the Teaching Assistant is carrying out the teacher’s educational plan for each individual student.

When the class meets the next day, the teacher begins with students who are better prepared to move forward together.

For the first time in history, every child can benefit from both outstanding classroom teaching and individualized tutoring.

That may become one of the greatest advances in the history of American public education.
