Where Teacher Feedback Still Matters Most
from AI in the Classroom - Daily · host Dan Cogan-Drew
We cover a core tension in AI and writing instruction: just because AI can take feedback and grading work off a teacher’s plate, does that mean it should? We explore what’s gained when teachers stay deeply involved in reading and responding to student writing, and where AI may help without replacing the professional judgment that strong writing instruction depends on.Topics covered:Why writing is one of the hardest and most consequential areas for AI in schoolsWhat teachers gain by personally reading and diagnosing student writingThe role of formative assessment in improving writing instructionWhy feedback timing matters so much for student growthThe practical limits teachers face when responding to large volumes of student writingHow AI might help with writing feedback without fully replacing the teacherThe risks of over-automating grading and feedbackBias, inconsistency, and hallucination in AI writing toolsWhat teachers and district leaders should weigh before adopting AI for writingSource:https://www.edsurge.com/news/2026-02-24-what-students-gain-when-teachers-not-ai-grade-students-work
