Snorkl
Moderate AlignmentAdopt and Scale with Instructional Guardrails
The pilot demonstrated that Snorkl can meaningfully improve the quality of student reflection while reducing the time teachers spend providing routine feedback. The recommendation was to scale implementation as a structured instructional support tool, with clear guidance that AI supplements — not replaces — teacher judgment. This investment advances student readiness while improving teacher sustainability.
SY27 Recommendation
Explanation
Targeted Investment
Continue investing in Snorkl as an opt-in instructional resource rather than a network initiative. If funding permits, support implementation through professional learning and training, adoption tracking, and shared best practices.
Cost: $3/student, or ~$4K Network-wide
- 2030 Goal Alignment
- Supports Academic Excellence & College Persistence by improving student reflection and feedback quality.
- Annual Priority Alignment
- Contributes to the Learning Model System through stronger formative assessment practices.
Assessment — Moderate Alignment. Demonstrates positive classroom impact but is a supplemental instructional tool with a narrower network-wide impact than other investments. The cohort also wants to keep testing certain use cases in person at school sites before recommending anything broader.
Curriculum Sync & ASSISTments (Math only)
High AlignmentAdopt Through a Phased Network Rollout
This pilot was scoped to Math content only. Curriculum Sync and ASSISTments provide immediate operational efficiencies for Math teachers by reducing planning time, improving curriculum consistency, and strengthening formative assessment. The recommendation was a phased rollout beginning with Illustrative Mathematics classrooms, paired with professional learning and curriculum refinement to maximize instructional impact.
SY27 Recommendation
Explanation
Scale with Guardrails
Sunset ASSISTments; scale Curriculum Sync so all 9th–11th Math instructors across the 8 Ednovate schools can receive training and access it as a planning timesaver (6 instructors currently use Canvas; 7 if Atlas is adopted; 22 if all adopt). Any expansion beyond Math content would need its own pilot.
Cost: Remains free, including training, for under 25 instructors
- 2030 Goal Alignment
- Advances Academic Excellence & College Persistence while improving Thriving Staff & Organization through teacher efficiency.
- Annual Priority Alignment
- Directly supports the Learning Model System by strengthening curriculum implementation and instructional consistency in Math.
Assessment — High Alignment. Strong alignment because it addresses an explicit annual priority (Math) and creates scalable instructional systems; though, at this time, it requires the adoption of Canvas.
MyClassroom Coach (MCC)
Moderate AlignmentContinue Strategic Investment
The pilot validated that AI-powered coaching can make instructional feedback more timely, objective, and actionable while preserving the essential role of human coaching. Going forward, we will focus MCC first as an internal Ednovate solution rather than primarily as a market bet. The central question is whether MCC helps solve a real Ednovate need: improving the quality, consistency, and timeliness of instructional feedback while preserving the essential role of human coaching.
SY27 Recommendation
Explanation
Continue Pilot
Not yet ready for 'prime-time;' could use significantly more input and design. Continued investment should prioritize product maturity, usability, and analytics — answering the Ednovate need first, before considering anything beyond our network.
Cost: TBD — scoping funding resources and limits
- 2030 Goal Alignment
- Supports Thriving Staff & Organization by improving coaching quality and educator development.
- Annual Priority Alignment
- Advances Talent & Leadership Development and From Heroics to Strong Systems through consistent coaching practices.
Assessment — Moderate Alignment. If and when the tool is fully envisioned and imagined, it aligns well with Ednovate's systems-building strategy, but continued product maturity is needed before broad scaling. Recommended future use during demo lessons and hiring for alignment and consistency, especially as we grow and candidates interview with more schools simultaneously.
Whole-Child Report Card (WCRC)
Very High AlignmentScale with Product Enhancements
The Whole-Child Report Card remains a strategic differentiator for Ednovate, providing a more comprehensive picture of student readiness than traditional report cards. The recommendation is to continue scaling while investing in usability, family access, clearer indicator definitions, and AI-powered insights that increase student ownership.
SY27 Recommendation
Explanation
Scale with Guardrails · Continue Pilot
Make suggested edits to the Whole-Child Report Card, driven by David Alamo and in partnership with the Academics and Executive Teams. Suggested edits will make the WCRC more student/user friendly. Run a Pilot 2.0 targeted at family education and access, when ready.
- 2030 Goal Alignment
- Advances Thriving Student & Family Experience and Expanding Impact & Innovation, directly supporting Ednovate's vision of redefining student success.
- Annual Priority Alignment
- Supports From Heroics to Strong Systems by creating a scalable, transparent reporting system for students and families.
Assessment — Very High Alignment. Most strategically aligned because it reinforces Ednovate's unique value proposition and long-term aspiration to influence how high schools measure and communicate student success.
