Teachers demonstrate quick classroom uses for AI: rubrics, lesson plans and formative feedback
Summary
Presenters showed how AI tools can generate rubrics, lesson outlines and student‑friendly feedback in minutes; teachers emphasized the need for human oversight and curricular alignment when using AI-generated materials.
Several teachers who attended an AI professional development summit demonstrated practical classroom uses of AI. Jacqueline Miller (speaker 2) showed how she used a prompt to create a proficiency rubric aligned to Washington State world language standards and then refined the output to include student‑friendly language and feedback sections.
Miller said the textbook‑style rubric produced by AI can be useful when a teacher provides clear prompts and then checks the results: “It has the proficiency standards in stern in terms of low expectations, approaching expectations, meets expectations,” she said, and added that she asks the AI to wait for feedback before finalizing the rubric so she can tailor it. Presenters stressed that AI work requires a human‑in‑the‑loop process: generate, review, and adapt, rather than directly assigning AI output to students without instructor edits.
Presenters also highlighted quick wins—creating worksheets, checking alignment of tests to standards, and generating formative questions—that can save preparation time while freeing teachers for more student interaction. No districtwide tool was selected; the leadership recommended pilots and staff training before any systemwide adoption.
