The trilemma facing English and humanities teachers

There is a trilemma facing all K-12 English and Humanities teachers. To improve writing skills students need more practice, more feedback and more targeted instruction. Teachers are forced to choose between what they can achieve in the time they have and what is...

Understanding your school data will unlock the learning stories hidden within

Part 3 of 3 - Supercharge teacher effectiveness with learning stories that support a whole-of-student view. From creating a clear intention to declutter data in Post 1 through to building a framework around data in Post 2, Post 3 describes a platform approach to “how...

How to structure K-12 learning data to create student learning stories – Part 2

Open up learning data so that teachers are free to see Part two of a three post series looks deeper inside the data closet and possibilities of K-12 schools. Lurking in all corners is data from multiple sources that when unleashed, often compete for attention. All of...

It’s time for K-12 schools to “Kondo” their data into simple student learning stories – Part 1

Declutter your data to find real student learning stories Part one of three posts introduces the idea that for K-12 schools to be successful in using data to grow learning they need to declutter their thinking, and data. Giving teachers a clear line of vision into...

Traditional costs and benefits of data analytics in K-12 education needs disruption

There are 26 days in January to think about the A-Z future of Education

There are really only 26 days in January - well up to and including Australia Day when Australia wakes up. As Australia hits the reset button and starts work on Jan 28, we thought we would craft our predictions for the future of Education, one for each of the 26 days...

K-12 leaders and teachers want quicker insights and alerts from their learning data silos – delivered to them

It’s critical that school leaders think about data strategies as a journey rather than a single destination or one off project. No school ‘does analytics’ in one pass and if they do, they only have one, often disappointing, pass at it.

The crucial last-mile of learning ‘analytics’ delivery.

Teachers make the biggest impact on learning when they have the right information, all the time. It’s 2018 last time I looked and this is a simple idea. Having an ‘all the time’ capability of access and insight across all teaching and learning data is what every educator wants, needs, deserves…. What are the options?

"Scribo really delivers something special for English and humanities teachers using AI intelligence, the likes of which I have never seen before. Scribo really must be seen by all."

"All teachers really need to see Scribo. It will change their teaching and their life."

The key words "before teachers read a word" embodies how Scribo saves teachers so much time. Scribo eliminates the long hours of reviewing, making notes on where help is needed and handling multiple drafts for all classes and students.

"Scribo creates significant insights into both cohort and student writing, all of which can be shared with the class. Turn off the student names and the whole class draws value from examples and alternatives. To be clear, this panel means no more out of class teacher review time. Lesson planning is now live and done for you. So Exciting!"

Before reading a word, teachers find where to target teaching for the class and and each student.

The cohort report is delivered using our AI and machine learning platforms, two capabilities that do all the heavy text reading and analysing.

What this means for teachers is simple. Scribo looks into the features of the text and analyses every word. A six level detailed analysis is ready in minutes for the cohort and each student. Teachers say they have never seen anything like Scribo.

Scribo does not grade essays. Grading is supported through clever rating and rubric capabilities.
