Curriculum AI Audit
Every AI tool in your classroom was built by someone who made assumptions
about your work: what's routine, what's judgment, what can be automated
without losing anything. Sometimes those assumptions hold up. Sometimes
something feels off and it's hard to say exactly why.
Describe a lesson or assignment where you're using an AI tool, what it
does and what task it touches, and get back three questions about what
the tool's design assumes about your work and your students.
Try it with something you're using right now.

The questions above come from research on how AI and automation
change teachers' work: how classroom tools carry the assumptions of
the people who built them, how tasks that look simple from outside a
classroom often aren't, and how promised time savings don't always
hold up once you look closely. This tool asks questions. It doesn't
tell you whether to use the tool. Nothing you write is saved.
