From Rubric to Revision: Using MagicSchool AI to Improve Student Writing
LIMITED
Friday July 31, 2026 10:00am - 10:50am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Participants will learn how to input the South Carolina Writing Rubric into MagicSchool AI so students can receive standards-aligned feedback, targeted revision suggestions, and an estimated writing score—all in real time.

Rather than replacing teacher feedback, this course focuses on using AI to enhance the writing process, allowing students to independently reflect on their work, revise with purpose, and better understand rubric expectations. Teachers will explore how AI-generated feedback can promote student ownership, increase revision quality, and save instructional time.
