Contributors help build AI systems that reason about real educational work by translating everyday teaching, assessment, and instructional-design workflows, judgments, and decision-making into structured, high-quality training data.
Key Responsibilities
- Design realistic educational scenarios and tasks drawn from your day-to-day work (e.g., lesson planning, assessment and item writing, grading against a rubric, differentiation and intervention, curriculum and unit design, IEPs and accommodations, student feedback)
- Review and compare AI-generated educational outputs for accuracy, standards alignment (e.g., Common Core, NGSS, state or discipline standards), grade-level appropriateness, and sound pedagogical judgment
- Create structured examples that reflect how educators actually reason through problems
- Provide clear written feedback that improves how AI performs teaching and instructional tasks
- Collaborate asynchronously with the research team
Ideal Qualifications

- A state teaching license/certification, National Board Certification, or an advanced degree (MEd/EdD/PhD or a subject master's) preferred, but not required
- Bachelor's degree in Education or a subject-matter field
- Comfortable with common classroom and instructional tools (e.g., Google Classroom, Canvas, an SIS such as PowerSchool, assessment and curriculum platforms)
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
