New post — what AI genuinely does well in math assessment, what it can't do, and how to use it in a way that makes you more effective (not obsolete).
AI is changing math assessment — but the best tools make teachers more effective, not obsolete. Here's what AI can and can't do in math assessment, and how to use it well.
