Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our teachers have the most important job in the world: nurturing young minds and in turn building a better future for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they work tirelessly to fulfill it. Extending well beyond the final bell, almost always taking home a pile of work, and making several other personal sacrifices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent research reveals that much of this hard work that our teachers put in, goes into paperwork rather than passion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On any given day, our teachers are actually tackling a staggering workload that has little to do with supporting students:  Aligning units horizontally and vertically, breaking them into weekly and daily lessons, poring over the internet for meaningful resources, creating assessments and rubrics for each student, assigning work to students, constantly reminding them of deadlines, collecting evidence of learning across disconnected folders, analyzing large volumes of student performance data, ensuring regular communication with parents, managing projects, field trips, progress reports, attendance, \u2014the list goes on.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s this demanding non-student workload, that\u2019s draining our teachers physically and emotionally over time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“As summarized in an article by the EdWeek Research Center, teachers spend only 25 hours in the classroom every week. Teaching, in itself, is not the source of excessive workloads and teacher burnout; it’s the secondary and tertiary responsibilities that put undue pressure on their schedules.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The good news: AI presents the opportunity to cut down on non-student time, and protect our teachers\u2019 passion to teach!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The impact of AI on teacher workload<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AI solutions can integrate into 70% of  teachers\u2019 daily responsibilities – including planning, reporting, communication, and administration – and potentially free up over 20 hours of their time every month for highest-value work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a whole week\u2019s worth of time every month that you can give back to your teachers to dedicate to their classrooms and students.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of some of the most significant ways in which AI, in its current form, can reduce teachers\u2019 workload and save time:<\/strong>
