THE IDEA

Not another gradebook.

ThinkTune K12 is designed to sit between student work and the systems schools already use. The app helps teachers understand the work, document the evidence, and decide the final score. Approved results can later be passed to systems such as Google Classroom or PowerSchool.

1

Scan student work

Take a photo or upload a PDF. The production version will read handwriting, typed responses, math work, and teacher-created assignments.

2

Review evidence

Every suggested rubric score includes the evidence, reasoning, skill or standard, confidence, and a suggested instructional next step.

3

Measure growth

Approved rubric observations build a longitudinal skill profile instead of reducing a student's progress to a single assignment average.

TEACHER CONTROL

AI can help with the workload. It should not replace professional judgment.

The central product rule is simple: no suggested grade becomes final until a teacher reviews and approves it.

STEP 01

Student Work

Photo, scan, PDF, or digital submission.

STEP 02

AI Analysis

Rubric criteria, standards, evidence, misconceptions, confidence.

STEP 03

Teacher Review

Accept, edit, override, or add instructional context.

STEP 04

Growth + Sync

Progress monitoring plus optional approved grade passback.

CLICKABLE CONCEPT

What grading could look like.

This page uses sample data only. Change the rubric scores below to see how the teacher stays in control.

Student Writing SampleSample data
I think schools should have more outdoor learning because students can learn science by seeing things in real life.
For example, our class learned about plants outside and I remembered the parts better.
Another reason is that moving and observing can help students stay interested.
Outdoor learning should be part of school because it helps students understand and remember.
AI SUGGESTION — REVIEW REQUIRED

Opinion Writing

13/16
OrganizationW.5.1 / W.5.4
Evidence: clear opinion, logical sequencing, and a concluding statement connected to the topic.
Evidence & ElaborationW.5.1b
Evidence: two relevant reasons are included and each is linked to why outdoor learning helps students.
Language & ConventionsL.5.1 / L.5.2
Evidence: sentences are complete and readable; a small number of convention errors would need verification.
Vocabulary & StyleW.5.4 / L.5.3
Evidence: language is clear and appropriate; more precise academic vocabulary could strengthen the response.
Teacher decision
Edit any score before approving.
PRODUCT VISION

From grading tool to instructional intelligence.

ELA + Math first

Writing, reading responses, math computation, and problem-solving. Additional subjects can use the same underlying rubric and standards engine later.

Special education aware

Accommodations, modified scoring expectations, IEP goals, prompting levels, and progress monitoring can become part of the scoring context.

Connected to school systems

Planned integrations include Google Classroom roster/coursework workflows and PowerSchool/OneRoster roster and grade passback.

“The goal isn’t just to grade faster. It’s to help teachers understand what student work shows and decide what to teach next.” — Isabella Da Silva, ThinkTune K12 concept
