The Performance Matters AI Rubric Scoring was fast and easy to use, enabling teachers to efficiently grade student writing tasks using AI. At the same time, the platform offered the flexibility for educators to adjust scores when they felt it was necessary. Teachers also found it helpful to review the AI’s scoring rationales to decide whether any adjustments were needed.

Empower Teachers and Assessment Leaders with AI

Streamline Assessment Creation

Leverage generative AI directly in Performance Matters workflows to quickly and easily generate questions, passages, and even full assessments.

Quickly Grade Free-Response Items

AI Rubric Scoring allows you to make better use of free-response assessments. Automated grading with educator oversight reduces staff workloads and grades items consistently, quickly, and without bias.

Enhance Learning in Non-Core Subjects

Enhance the learning experience in non-core subjects by creating broad and diverse item banks for subject areas that often lack them, such as CTE and world language courses.

Deliver More Effective Formative Assessments

Formative assessments are essential but time-consuming. PowerBuddy streamlines the process, letting educators create tailored formative assessments for students at different learning stages.

Responsible AI Developed Specifically for K-12

Build Assessments and Item Banks

Build Assessments and Item Banks

Quickly generate and review assessment items for any standard, topic, and grade level. Create items directly in assessments or save them to an item bank for use across the district. Fill content gaps in subjects where assessments are harder to find, such as CTE or world languages.

Apply AI Rubric Scoring

PowerBuddy can grade essay-type questions to save time and make free-response assessment a real possibility. PowerBuddy provides AI generated and teacher reviewed scores aligned to your rubric and constructive feedback for students. Speed up your grading process while reducing inconsistency and eliminating potential bias.

Create Passages and Content

Easily create new passages, stories, or explanatory text and assessments to go with them. Generative AI directly in your workflows makes it simple to create differentiated content to assess students of all levels.

Provide Answers About District Information

PowerBuddy allows users to ask questions and receive accurate, approved answers about district information—policy manuals, handbooks, district calendars, lunch menus, job postings, and more. Find answers quickly, avoiding lengthy document searches or contacting staff for basic information.
