From Efficiency to Efficacy: A New Standard for Measuring AI's Impact in the Classroom

Most AI tools in K-12 classrooms are still judged by adoption, engagement, and how much time they save educators. Brisk Teaching's recent white paper, "From Efficiency to Efficacy: Measuring AI's Instructional Impact," highlights that K-12 needs a different yardstick, one grounded in learning science and close enough to everyday classroom practice to show whether AI is actually improving teaching and learning. The metrics we choose don't just determine how we evaluate AI, they shape what developers build, what districts buy, and ultimately how educators use these tools with students. This webinar unpacks a new evaluation framework and explores what districts can measure beyond simply adoption and time savings. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how better measurement can lead to more meaningful uses of AI in classroom instruction as we kick off a new school year.
