The Instructional Technology Team has been offering training on Kami and its innovative AI features, which empower teachers to efficiently create assignment questions or convert text into interactive clickable options for students. This training reflects the team’s commitment to equipping educators with cutting-edge technology to support diverse teaching needs. 

We conducted a training on how AI can support students in improving their writing scores by leveraging a STAAR rubric within a custom chatbot. This chatbot is designed to assess student responses, provide a score based on the rubric, and offer targeted, easy-to-understand feedback. Rather than writing for the students, the AI serves as a writing coach, guiding them toward clearer, more structured, and well-supported responses.
