What AI teacher evaluation software is and what it should and shouldn't do: how it drafts rubric-aligned write-ups in minutes while the evaluator keeps the judgment, the privacy and defensibility questions to ask, and how to choose the right tool.
AI can cut a teacher evaluation in half, but which half? The watching (human judgment) must stay human; the writing (rubric translation) is what AI can safely do. Why that line is the whole question, and why the write-up tool you pick still matters.
Whether an AI-assisted teacher evaluation holds up depends on the process, not the AI itself. The four properties that make any evaluation defensible, where AI helps, where it adds risk, and what to ask before it reaches a personnel file.
