SchoolAI, the leader in integrating generative AI into K-12 classrooms, has partnered with one of Utah’s largest school districts to bring AI into classrooms for personalized one-on-one tutoring, guidance and support. Jordan School District, located just outside Salt Lake City and home to 67 schools, 3,350 educators, and over 57,800 students, will integrate SchoolAI’s platform to incorporate AI across the district. Teachers can use AI-powered lesson plans to provide students with a safe technological experience tailored to their needs.
The platform offers more than 1,000 activities with AI tutors, interactive games, simulations, well-being check-ins, and a grade- and subject-specific library. Through this collaboration, teachers also receive the benefits of dashboards with real-time feedback and moderation, so they can easily track student progress and develop tailored learning plans to meet students where they are.
SchoolAI envisions a future in which each student’s learning journey is as unique as they are. Since its inception in August of last year, SchoolAI’s platform has been supported by over 20,000 teachers in 1,500 districts nationwide. This comprises over 100,000 students from states nationwide, including Utah, New York, Ohio, and Connecticut.
Commenting on the partnership, Anthony Godfrey, Ed.D., Superintendent of Jordan School District, said:
The education of our future generations is critically important, and to say our teachers are hard-working and stretched in their classrooms to meet the needs of each student is an understatement. Partnering with SchoolAI allows us to introduce a tool in the school that lets teachers get valuable insights into their students’ preparedness level for each subject, making it easy to assist them in a personalized way that wasn’t possible before. It does all this in a scalable format that ensures our teachers can do more fantastic work without being overburdened or burnt out.
Jordan School District’s collaboration with SchoolAI highlights various use cases where AI is utilized to attract youngsters’ attention and encourage active learning under the supervision of their teachers. Eric Price, principal of West Jordan Middle School, is a pioneer in promoting the use of AI in the classroom to educate today’s children for a better future. Students have been motivated and prompted to think deeper about their study information due to SchoolAI’s beneficial impact during a trial programme this year. The platform has even been utilized to assist in engaging students who aren’t proficient English speakers.
Eric Price, Principal of West Jordan Middle School, added:
Artificial intelligence will be a part of everyday life for our students. We’re doing them a disservice if we’re not updating our concept of what it means to teach and learn with all the tools available to us now. As educators, we have to go beyond content sharing, which is how the curriculum was structured thus far, and embrace a new era of teaching our kids the skills needed for critical and conceptual thinking, no matter what level they’re starting from in the classroom.
Caleb Hicks, CEO of SchoolAI, also responded to the development:
We built SchoolAI because artificial intelligence can transform the learning experience for both students and teachers. And we built in guardrails to protect students and enable teachers to deliver personalized curriculums at scale. Future generations aren’t going to know a world without AI, so we must provide it to students to take them to the next level. We’ve given teachers a solution that helps them reach their goals with their students while opening up their bandwidth to focus on what’s most important: each student and their needs.
