Editorial cover on EvalScribe cream reading "AI can cut the evaluation in half. But which half?", with two tags (AI & Ethics; For School Leaders) and three chips (Watching = human; Writing = translation; Data stays put), over a subhead separating the watching (human judgment in the room) from the writing (rubric translation). Footer: "Point AI at the write-up, not the watching."
