Many K-12 educators have resisted using artificial intelligence (AI). But a new national survey from Pearson and K-12 Dive’s studioID shows a new eagerness to use AI-powered tools in one area: classroom assessments. 

Seven in 10 (72%) respondents say they’re already using AI with assessments or plan to do so soon.

Why? The Pearson survey suggests they see AI as a way to ease some of their assessment burden.

K-12 leaders and educators believe in the importance of assessments. The trouble is, the assessment tools they’re using don’t prove nearly as effective as they’d like, a new survey from Pearson reveals.

Administrators, classroom teachers and special educators from across the country responded to the survey. The most worrisome aspect of the problems they identify? The gaps appear in the areas educators consider most important to assess.

School and district leaders can’t afford to ignore these assessment shortcomings.

What’s the biggest pain point K-12 educators experience with classroom assessments? 

A new survey of K-12 educators confirms widespread use of classroom assessments. In the survey, conducted by Pearson Assessments and K-12 Dive’s studioID, the vast majority of respondents report using a range of assessments to monitor learning progress.

At a recent conference, a very wise superintendent gave me some feedback on the best way to share the innovative approach we’ve taken with our formative classroom assessment system, Navvy.
