TeachersAI is designed around shared workflows with clear responsibility. While School Admins and Teachers may interact with similar areas of the platform, they use TeachersAI in different ways and for different purposes.
This article explains how School Admins are expected to use TeachersAI, how that differs from teacher use, and where responsibilities are shared.
The Core Difference
School Admins focus on structure, access, and consistency
Teachers focus on teaching, assessment, and feedback
TeachersAI works best when each role operates within its intended scope.

How School Admins Should Use TeachersAI
As a School Admin, your role is to enable effective teaching, not manage it day to day.
You should use TeachersAI to:
Set up and maintain class structures
Manage teacher and student access
Ensure reporting and grading settings are consistent
Step in when structural or access issues arise
Once the system is configured, most teaching and assessment activity should occur without admin involvement.
How Teachers Use TeachersAI
Teachers use TeachersAI as part of their daily classroom workflow.
Teachers are responsible for:
Creating and managing assessments
Developing and adjusting rubrics
Marking student work and providing feedback
Monitoring student progress within their classes
Teachers make instructional and assessment decisions for their students.
Shared Responsibilities
Some areas of TeachersAI are intentionally flexible and may be handled by either role depending on school preference.
These include:
Creating classes
Assigning teachers to classes
Creating assessments
Creating and editing rubrics
Reviewing student results when appropriate
Schools may choose to centralise these tasks with admins or distribute them to teachers.
What School Admins Should Avoid
School Admins should generally avoid:
Reviewing individual student submissions unless required
Editing teacher assessments as a default
Micromanaging marking or feedback processes
Using TeachersAI to supervise day-to-day teaching activity
TeachersAI is designed to support trust and professional autonomy.
Visibility vs Responsibility
School Admins may have broader visibility across the school, but visibility does not imply ownership.
Seeing activity supports:
Structural oversight
Consistency
Support when issues arise
It does not require ongoing intervention.
Summary
School Admins set structure and consistency
Teachers handle teaching and assessment
Some responsibilities are shared by design
TeachersAI works best when each role stays within its intended scope
