About this pilot

LGfL, in partnership with TeachMateAI, provided 20 schools with a whole school TeachMateAI Pro account for two terms so that we could explore:

If the purposeful use of AI will support workload reduction.
If AI can save teachers time and schools money, energise teaching and learning and improve well-being by automating tasks such as lesson planning, grading, and providing student feedback.

Case school feedback on improving TeachMateAI/AI to make it more valuable and effective.
Identify potential challenges with using TeachMateAI/AI in a classroom setting and develop solutions.
Inform the development of TeachMateAI - the TeachMateAI team would very much like to view the pilot as an opportunity for us to listen to the needs of schools.
