BC TEAL is proud to present our 2025 Annual Conference: Disruptive Educational Practices: Strategies for Transformation.
Educators shine in times of change to face unexpected challenges. This is when creativity flourishes by combining proven practices with fresh and innovative ideas. These times call for transformation which can be rooted in tradition or experience, or it can arise through unexplored approaches. The synthesis of old and new ideas drives meaningful progress. Join other insightful and creative educators as we flourish within the power of our community.
This workshop will teach instructors how to ensure that AI aligns with standards when creating assessments and feedback. Nowadays, there are countless AI tools available for creating lesson materials. However, a paradoxical gap remains between the vast capabilities of AI and the narrow, specific needs of teachers when assessing students. For example, ChatGPT can easily generate countless questions, but it won’t directly reference the specific CLB benchmarks when creating those questions. As a result, teachers often still have to manually flip through curriculum documents and struggle to write rubrics. The same gap exists when creating feedback on assessments. Many AI tools can provide general feedback on a student’s writing assessment, but teachers often need the feedback to be directly based on the rubric for that assessment. Roshi.ai, an AI tool used by teachers across Canada, has recently sought to bridge this gap by providing tools that let teachers create standards-aligned assessments, detailed rubrics, and automated feedback based on those rubrics. In this workshop, we will discuss in detail how these tools were developed in tandem with Canadian teachers to tackle this issue, and we will walk through exactly how teachers can use these tools in their assessments. Specifically, teachers will learn to do the following:
Generate content for assessments that is both realistic and tailored to the assessment’s level
Create forms (e.g., dentist intake forms), brochures, and other documents
Develop dialogues and monologues with high-quality voices
Craft illustrated stories
Generate detailed rubrics that are both aligned with standards (e.g., CLB) and relevant to the assessment content
Get AI recommendations for feedback on student submissions, directly based on the rubrics
