The AI Coach platform is not about replacing coaches but about enhancing the self-reflective work teachers can do on their own in addition to any coaching they already receive.

Between formal visits for in-person coaching, teachers use the platform for on-demand, personalized support. They don't have to wait for a formal coaching cycle to continue working on their instructional practice. 

Engaging with AI Coach helps amplify and enhance the impact of in-person instructional coaching by helping teachers increase their skills and by preparing them to be better collaborators with their coach and PLC members. 

The AI Coach platform uses artificial intelligence to tailor the coaching experience for each teacher. Instead, it learns about each teacher’s professional priorities and provides relevant guidance, empowering teachers to coach themselves. The virtual coach isn't telling a teacher what to do, instead, it's acting as a thought partner for the teacher to explore their teaching.

For instance, if a teacher focuses on "checks for understanding" (CFUs), they will receive customized observation tips related to CFUs while analyzing their teaching videos. Additionally, teachers will get curated resources to support their growth in this specific area.

In total, the AI Coaching cycle takes approximately two hours of active learning time. But the great thing about the AI Coach process is that it's broken up to be convenient to the teacher's schedule.  

Initially, teachers spend about one hour analyzing their video, reflecting on their observations, and developing an action plan to achieve their goals.

Next, they implement the changes in their classroom and collect new data. Afterward, they return to analyze their performance with the assistance of the virtual coach. 

Each part of the cycle can be done at the teacher's desired pace and can stopped and resumed at any time. 

Most schools can provide the AI Coach platform to their entire building for $3,450 or less.

AI Coach provides additional coaching capacity for as little as $10 per cycle. For context, in-person coaching averages $1,670 per cycle.
