Transform class experiences into clear, engaging updates for families with Outschool’s AI tools for teachers.

Updated over a week ago

AI Teaching Assistant

The AI Teaching Assistant streamlines the feedback process and saves teachers valuable time. Just jot down your notes and click Show Me the Magic.

The AI Teaching Assistant will create a descriptive and concise summary based on your input. Choose the one that best fits your needs.

Click Send Note to Family to automatically send the selected summary from your account to the learner's family. You can also review all previously sent notes in the parent message history.

Accessing the AI Teaching Assistant

  • For Tutoring Classes: Find the AI Teaching Assistant in the Note Maker tab of a learner's enrollment.

  • For Live Group Classes: Select the learner from the dropdown menu on the Enrolled roster in the classroom.

Tips for Success

  1. Provide Key Details: Enter 2-3 bullet points summarizing your feedback to help the AI Teaching Assistant generate accurate notes.

  2. Focus on Content: Don't worry about style, structure, or spelling errors; these will be automatically corrected. A concise summary might be more appropriate for shorter feedback.

  3. Review Carefully: Always check the suggested note before sending it to ensure it meets our Community Standards and is accurate.

  4. Privacy Matters: Share feedback only with the learner's parents or guardians, and avoid including any personal information like names, locations, identities, or medical details.

Automatic Class Updates

Automatic class updates keep families informed about what was covered in your classes. After each session, Outschool summarizes the teacher’s portion of the Zoom transcript to create a short update. Families receive the recap by email, giving them an overview of their learner’s experience.

Accessing Automatic Class Updates

When a recap is ready, you’ll see a banner notification.

  1. Visit the Classroom tab after your class.

  2. Review the generated recap and choose to edit, skip, or let it auto-send. You will have 4 hours to take action before it sends automatically.

  3. Individual teachers and organization administrators can manage automatic class updates from the Marketing tab.

What to Know

  • Parent replies appear in your Conversations if they have follow-up questions.

  • Parents can choose whether to receive recap emails in their email settings.

  • Families who receive a custom message through the AI Teaching Assistant will not also receive the general class update.
