Calling 4th & 5th grade teachers and school leaders!

Our AI is called “Ampy” which is a custom Gemini Gem tailored specifically for 4th and 5th grade educators. Pre-loaded with foundational knowledge from the Science of Reading and principles of personalized learning, “Ampy” is designed to be your expert instructional assistant. It helps streamline your workflow, tailor instruction to individual student needs, and deepen your impact on literacy development.

Rather than replacing expertise, artificial intelligence is a co-pilot that strengthens what you already know, personalizes learning, and expands opportunities for authentic reading, writing, and communication.

Teachers will use “Ampy” to design personalized literacy experiences, and model responsible AI integration that strengthens—not replaces—professional expertise.

Students use “Ampy” as a coach that builds independent learning habits, gives productive struggle, authentic communication, and AI knowledge needed in our modern society.

Why Participate?

Teachers will learn how to use AI to:
Analyze student literacy data (e.g., i-Ready, MAP)
Personalize learning experiences for diverse students
Strengthen their instructional practices through coaching

Students benefit from:
Personalized reading materials tailored to their needs
AI writing support and feedback from a trained assistant (not just any AI)
Using AI as a reflection tool

Long-Term Impact
Increasing the use of evidence-based literacy instruction (EBLI)
Effective integration of AI into teaching practices
Developing local Teacher Leaders that continue beyond the life of the project
