Teaching Partner

Imagine a school or district meeting where Teaching Partner actively participates, filling knowledge gaps, driving deeper collaboration, and helping your team make informed decisions.

Teaching Partner, powered by AI, seamlessly integrates into your team workflow, offering dynamic insights, helping to strengthen instruction, and providing personalized support to meet evolving needs of educators and students.

    Teaching Partner is built for teamwork—helping teacher teams develop actionable strategies tailored to their unique challenges and context, fostering deeper collaboration, more meaningful discussions, and data-driven insights.
  • Reliable & Research-Based
    Teaching Partner doesn’t rely on unverified internet sources—it integrates leading education research with your school’s strategic plans, curriculum standards, instructional goals, and performance data. Additional research can be added in any area you choose—like the science of reading—by simply dragging and dropping.
  • Easy to Implement
    Teaching Partner is designed for teachers, not tech experts. It’s simple to customize for your classroom or entire district. Whether you’re collaborating in a PLC, co-developing lessons with colleagues, exploring research, or designing curriculum, Teaching Partner lets you choose your own path to meet the needs of both professional and student learning.

Easy to Adapt

Teaching Partner is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) built specifically for educators. While generic AI models provide broad, generic and unverified responses, Teaching Partner is designed with a deep understanding of teaching, learning, and school leadership.

Unlike a typical chatbot, Teaching Partner actively facilitates discussions, helps organize teacher time, and synthesizes key takeaways—giving teachers meaningful, actionable guidance rather than generic answers.

Private & Secure

We recognize the importance of sensitive, personally identifiable information (PII), and we employ industry-leading security and safety standards.

All interactions with Teaching Partner occur in a private, secure environment to ensure your data remains protected.

  • Is our data safe?

    Yes. We follow strict privacy laws like FERPA and GDPR, and use multiple layers of security to prevent unauthorized access.

  • Who can see what?

    Access is role-based. Only those who need to see a document can see it, based on permissions set by your district.

  • Does NCEE use our data to train AI models?

    No. Your data is never used to train third-party models.

  • Will NCEE staff see our data?

    Only a few authorized staff can access limited data for support or troubleshooting—and even then, access is logged and tightly controlled.

  • How does the AI learn?

    It uses a method called Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which blends what it’s already learned with the documents you provide to give better answers.

  • Will our data be indexed?

    Yes—but only to improve your own search experience. It stays secure and is only used within your district.
