  • 162 AI Feedback That Actually Reaches Students (Before It's Too Late)
    Mar 24 2026

    You spend the time grading. You write the comments. And then students look at the grade and move on. Sound familiar?

    In this episode, Kristen tackles two of the biggest feedback problems math teachers face: feedback that comes too late to matter, and feedback that isn't personalized enough to actually help. She walks through the real tools she's using in her classroom to solve both — so your judgment as a teacher can reach every student, faster.

    Tools mentioned:

    • ChatGPT / Claude (feedback prompt template included in episode)
    • Snorkl — instant AI feedback on student math explanations
    • Kiddom — AI feedback built into your LMS
    • Brisk — rubric-based personalized feedback

    This week's challenge: Pick one tool and try it on your next assignment.
