Teachers do not need another tool that adds steps to grading. Teachers need feedback that is timely, specific, and still sounds like them.

That is the promise behind AI feedback for teachers when it is designed well. It should help you respond faster, keep your expectations high, and protect the human part of learning: noticing what a student is trying to do, then nudging them forward.

In this 30-minute Unstoppable Teacher Webinar, Accelerating Accessibility and Insight with Kami, you will see what that looks like in practice, including how AI-assisted feedback can work alongside tools that help students access complex text.

The classroom reality: access and feedback collide

Most teachers are solving two problems at once:

  • Students need support accessing complex text without lowering rigor.
  • Teachers need a feedback workflow that is realistic with a full class.

This webinar is built for that overlap. It starts with student access, then moves directly into AI feedback for teachers that is still teacher-led.

What you will learn: AI feedback for teachers, with control

Julien demonstrates AI-assisted feedback inside Kami’s commenting workflow, using an LMS view to show how it fits into real grading habits.

You will see how AI feedback can help teachers:

  • Generate feedback drafts based on what a student actually wrote or annotated
  • Focus feedback on specific pages or even a single question
  • Add guardrails by attaching standards, rubrics, or a teacher-written prompt
  • Keep the teacher in control with an approve-and-edit step before anything is shared

The point is not to outsource judgment. The point is to move faster from “I need to give feedback” to “Here is feedback that helps this student improve.”

The companion tools: summarize and relevel, used intentionally

Before feedback comes access. The session also covers two “Understand” tools teachers can turn on or off based on the goal of the lesson:

Summarize

Used well, summarizing supports independence. When students grasp the gist, they can spend more of their energy on what teachers often ask next: evidence, analysis, and explanation.

Releveling

Releveling helps students engage with the full passage using more approachable language. It is not a Lexile label. It is a practical way to adjust complexity while preserving meaning.

Just as important, Julien shows how feature controls let teachers decide when these supports help and when they would compromise the task.

Who this webinar is for

  • Teachers who want faster, more consistent feedback that is still personal
  • Teachers supporting multilingual learners and diverse reading needs
  • Instructional coaches building sustainable feedback practices across a team
