Hanif asks about student evaluation scorecard and family tools
Hanif asks if a similar scorecard exists for students. Carozza says DOE is creating evidence-based scorecards for all stakeholders including families, aiming for transparency in evaluation criteria. Hanif recommends including students in the evaluation process.
Because I have a few more seconds, could you share for a similar scorecard is being a
with students?
So I'm going to jump in Tara to do this work.
So Tara.
And I'll come back for second round, but ending here.
Thank you.
Hi, my name is Tara Carozza.
I'm the Director of Digital Learning and Innovation, former District 75 teacher.
Currently, we are not evaluating tools that are direct student AI use.
We're starting with teachers.
And the reason for that is because we have the same concerns that you as an advocate and many others have shared with us, particularly from the 45-day feedback window and the listening sessions that we engaged in.
And so we're starting with teachers and leaders who are already using the tools for the purpose of supporting their productivity, for supporting their lesson differentiation, scaffolding.
We already have high-quality instructional materials and grade-level expectations within all of our New York City Reads and Solves curriculum.
And so we're looking at those standards that we've set.
We've vetted those curriculums.
We know they're research-based and evidence-based, and we're taking a similar approach to vetting our tools beyond IRMA.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Council Member.
Okay.
I would recommend our students seeing some of this, being able to work with a tool and for us to
to see how they're responding so that they're also part of this process.
Agreed.
And we are creating the same evidence-based tool scorecard for all of our stakeholders.
We're in development of those, so I did want to add that.
One for families as well, so we can empower families to go through the same process.
So we're all looking at the same evaluation criteria.
We're not saying, okay, the DOE is doing one thing and not sharing that out.
We really want to be transparent in our next steps forward with all.
And of course involving students and empowering them with that same agency and critical evaluation and critical thinking as Councilmember Wong shared.
Thank you.
Thank you, Councilmember Hanif.
I particularly love the questions around evaluations.
FTC, give her a highly effective in 3D, please.
Very niche joke.
Okay, Councilmember Gutierrez.
