We’re at MassCUE! 👋

Come connect with the Colleague AI team and talk about AI in everyday teaching and learning. We’d love to hear what you’re working on!

Teacher Tip Tuesday 💡

Before asking AI to draft student feedback, give it the learning goal and the rubric.

Then ask for:
✓ One strength
✓ One specific next step
✓ Evidence from the work

That gives you a focused draft to review, adjust, and personalize using what you know about the student.

Try this prompt: “Here is the learning goal and rubric: [paste]. Here is the student’s work: [paste]. Write feedback with one strength, one specific next step, and evidence from the work.”

Save it for your next feedback session. What would you add to yours?

A pattern in school data is a starting point, not an explanation. 🔎

AI can help surface trends in student performance. Educators still need to ask: What else do we know? What might explain this pattern? What should we investigate before taking action?

That’s the thinking behind the framework we’ll explore at MassCUE this week:

Analyze → Intervene → Communicate

Identify patterns, develop context-responsive strategies, and communicate next steps. Educators lead the decisions throughout.

What’s the hardest part of turning your school’s data into action?

What if your next learning activity gave students a scenario to work through, with decisions to make along the way?

A question about creating EMT simulations with Colleague AI led to this interactive example: three emergency scenarios with branching decisions, changing vital signs, and immediate feedback.

AI helps create the activity. Educators bring the expertise to review it and connect it to what students need to learn.

Every learner brings knowledge, experiences and strengths to the classroom. 💜

This , we celebrate Hispanic and Latino communities and their contributions to our schools.

For multilingual learners, understanding a lesson and learning a language often happen together. Educators support both, helping students engage with academic content while keeping expectations high.

Colleague AI gives educators more ways to offer differentiated explanations and language support, with teachers guiding the learning.

Celebrating heritage this month. Supporting multilingual learners all year.

We're heading to MassCUE's Fall Conference at Gillette Stadium on October 14-15!

This year's theme, Forward and Beyond, fits what we hear from teachers and district leaders: they want AI that fits the work they already do.

If you stop by, we'd like to show you what that looks like in practice:
- Tiered lesson plans aligned to CCSS, NGSS, and state standards, generated for every Lexile level in a class at once.
- PLOP drafts built from a teacher's own notes, with the educator making every call on goals and accommodations
- AI Tutoring in 50+ languages
- District-level AI governance and customization

This week, we're at the 2026 Illinois Association of School Administrators conference in Springfield!

If you're looking for AI tools, customized AI offerings, or an AI platform for your schools, stop by the Colleague AI booth and say hi to Pete!

In case you missed it, this month's OECD report on PISA results give an interesting picture on education today around the world.

46% of students in OECD countries use AI chatbots weekly or more to help them learn.

The report shows an overall decline in reading skills, and a need to develop skills for the age of AI:

The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2025 evaluates what students know and can do in science, reading, mathematics and computational problem-solving, assessing how effectively they can apply their knowledge to real-world challenges. The assessment also explores a range of b...

A new survey report from Campion in Australia gives a very interesting picture of GenAI demand specifically in an education context:

"60% of respondents are very or extremely interested in education-specific generative AI."

This is significant, and also not surprising. Generic AI such as Claude or ChatGPT or Gemini were not built for K-12 - no matter how much prompting you do, it's not the same as purpose-built, properly fine-tuned, and research-backed generative AI specific to K-12.
