Here’s how they summed it up:
New AI Coach by Edthena Makes Personalized Coaching Accessible to All Teachers
Educator professional development provider Edthena today launched an artificial intelligence-based platform called AI Coach capable of helping teachers review and analyze videos of their classroom methods and self-identify strengths and weaknesses, followed by guidance for recommended improvements.
The AI Coach platform allows all teachers access to support, on-demand self-analysis, and actionable advice to improve teaching effectiveness, using an AI-backed chatbot to guide teachers through coaching cycles aligned to common growth areas, such as “pacing” and “engagement.”
While inside the AI Coach platform, teachers have a conversation with an AI bot named Edie, their “virtual coach.” Edie asks teachers to identify their professional goals, and then teachers analyze and reflect on videos of their classroom instruction by adding time-stamped comments.
After the video analysis, Edie leads teachers through summarizing the evidence and notes and through developing action plans to reach the teachers’ goals and increase their effectiveness.
Edthena founder Adam Geller added, “One of the values of the AI Coach platform is it gives teachers a really flexible way to have documented professional learning time. They can spend time reflecting on themselves, and … say, ‘Here’s my AI Coach log that reflects my PD hours showing the work that I did.’”
The AI Coach platform is personalized coaching plus professional learning, all in one place.
