McGraw Hill’s Teacher Assistant is an AI chat bot that allows teachers to receive instructional planning support through natural language conversations. The Teacher Assistant helps teachers understand what instructional resources are available with the course and quickly find relevant materials to better differentiate instruction for students in the moment. It has the potential to dramatically increase the findability of relevant content within a course, allowing a teacher to more quickly gain value from the Open Learning course experience.   Teacher Assistant AI Disclosure AI makes mistakes. Check important information. Teacher Assistant uses generative AI and may miss nuances, and responses may not be accurate, complete or reliable. Users should carefully check responses before implementing suggestions. Outputs from Teacher Assistant are not to be attributed to and do not represent the views of McGraw Hill. View the Teacher Assistant Disclosure.   What the Teacher Assistant Can Do The Teacher Assistant is designed to support teachers in teaching their course in several ways: Explaining Student Performance: You can view how students are performing overall, or get more detailed information broken down by domains, standards, or specific skills within the course. Identifying Student Groups: It can tell you which of your tagged students are struggling or excelling, and highlight where these students are demonstrating these proficiency levels. Course Structure Information: You can ask for details on your course structure, including what units and lessons are available. Finding Digital Resources: The Assistant can help you locate digital teaching resources that match specific lessons or units. Connecting Lessons to Standards: It shows you how lessons connect to state or national frameworks, including prerequisites and post-requisites, and which lessons cover each standard. Supporting Course-Aligned Work: All support is tied to your particular course, ensuring that information and resources are relevant to your teaching context.   Limitations & Requirements Student Data Privacy: For security, student data is blinded between messages. In order to retrieve information about specific students' proficiency, you must tag individual students using '@' in your last message. This is a required step every time you'd like to see student-level data. Privacy and Tagging: To retrieve student performance data, you must tag students with '@' in your last message. This requirement exists to protect student privacy, as the Assistant does not store or retain student identities. One Item at a Time: The system works by searching one standard, lesson, or topic at a time. You will need to specify exactly which item you want details about. Course Scope: All information and support relates to the content and structure of your current course/grade level—it can't address non-academic concerns, social-emotional issues, or topics outside your course's framework. Content Limitations: The Assistant cannot provide advice on teaching strategies, social-emotional concerns, or student behavior, and cannot modify or create digital resources. Resource Descriptions: The assistant can only share what's provided in the resource descriptions; it cannot create or modify resources.   Access the Teacher Assistant 1.
