K-6 Intervention Specialist; District Math Coach
Colleague.ai is incredibly powerful, particularly in my role as a leader in mathematics for the building. It can simplify the process of analyzing PLCs and strand data from our universal screeners. For example, when we identify a standard like 2 NBT.2 that all students in a grade level struggle with, I can quickly pull relevant lessons. Even if we use only parts of these lessons, such as the warm-up or the main task, it can enhance our teaching efficiency.

The one thing that I really like about the platform is how much it has grown since we started using it. We started out with less functionality, and we’ve seen it evolve, improve, and get better over time. It’s like watching a student’s growth (smiling). Now, because Colleague’s AI assistant, Claire, has grown, it seems to be customizing and meeting my needs more. We don’t want someone to just take what the AI spits out and apply it blindly. I would definitely use it as a true colleague to augment what I already have and make it better.
Grade K-5 Math teacher
Having a centralized platform like Colleague.ai is incredibly beneficial, especially for newer teachers who are in their first few years of teaching. Many of the lessons available are either crafted by experienced educators or are part of established curriculum resources. By consolidating these resources into one accessible location and leveraging AI to generate additional examples, teachers can enhance their lesson plans with adaptive and meaningful content. Additionally, for educators who may switch grade levels or subjects frequently, having a repository of lesson plan ideas readily available is invaluable. Even as a veteran teacher, transitioning to a new curriculum can be daunting, but having access to a diverse range of lesson plans on Colleague.ai provides valuable support. This platform offers convenience and flexibility, allowing teachers to adapt lessons based on their students’ interests and needs seamlessly.
High School Math, AP Teacher
Principals often ask questions about differentiation and promoting deeper thinking during evaluations, and these are crucial aspects of our teaching assessments. Colleague.ai promotes my thinking about these issues in new ways and provides clear evidence of my teaching strategies. For instance, I can quickly generate and showcase how I’ve tailored lessons to meet diverse learner needs. This capability could be integral to our evaluation system. As my district begins to shape our AI policy, I believe tools like this will become increasingly significant
Grade K-5 Math Teacher
I really like this rating system from a like is this. I’m a teacher through and through like a purist when it comes to teaching. And I’m not a lesson plan person. So I like the fact that it’s got these sections here, and I agree with all of the rubric part of this. So therefore, if, as long as I can trust the AI to say, Hey. I would. as long as I can trust the AI to be more more strict. I then I would love to use this on all my lessons that say, okay, I’m gonna load my lesson in here, the lesson that I have. And then I’m gonna have AI review it. And then based on. And then is it going to say, Hey, is the is the warm up relevant? Is it highly cognitive? And then I can go. Okay, cool. It’s not these things from the sound from what it seems like is that I should be able to then take this and come in here and improve the quality measures. And since it didn’t have a good relevant warm up. There should be a build a better warm up in here right.
Grade 8-12 Math Teacher
As a teacher deeply involved in both delivering and mentoring, I find Colleague.ai very useful. It particularly enhances our efficiency in planning and executing lessons. The more I use it, the more adept I become, allowing me to pinpoint exactly which aspects of my lesson need enhancement.

I appreciate the structured quality rating system Colleague.ai offers, especially as someone deeply committed to the essence of teaching. Not being a ‘lesson plan person,’ I find the quality rubrics particularly useful. Trusting the AI to rigorously evaluate my lessons is a game changer. I can upload my lesson, have the AI review it, and receive feedback on specific components like “Is the warm up relevant? Is it highly cognitive?” This feedback allows me to see where improvements are needed. For instance, if the warm-up isn’t relevant, Colleague.ai also provides options to enhance it. This helps me refine the quality of my lessons directly within the platform, ensuring each element is as engaging and effective as possible.

The AI-generated lessons clarify complex concepts in an easy-to-understand language, which I greatly appreciate. For example, it explained ‘mean absolute deviation’ in a way that was much clearer than traditional materials. This is especially helpful for those new to teaching or to the concept. It describes how this statistical measure is calculated and its purpose in understanding data variability. While I may need to make a few tweaks, the foundation provided by the AI tool is solid, and I definitely can use this lesson in my curriculum.

You can always make Colleague.AI your friend. It never says no to you, and it doesn’t get tired. You can keep asking. It’s kind of like when you use GPS – even if you don’t follow the suggested directions and veer away from course, it reroutes and gives you the way forward from where you are to get you to your destination. “We just need to use it in the right way and dig deeper.”
Grade K-5 Math teacher
I’ve also found it to be fun to use it as a learning tool. So if I’ve read about something online, I’ll ask Colleague: “Can you give me an example of what this would look like in the math classroom? Here is the activity, and here’s this teaching framework I’ve read. Can you use this teaching framework to revise this activity?” This type of professional learning saves me hours.
