2025 Elevated Teaching Summit

In this presentation, we will explore the use of Custom Writing Chatbots in MagicSchoolAI as writing coaches for students in an AP Human Geography class. These chatbots provide personalized feedback, guidance, and support, helping students enhance their writing skills and develop their analytical abilities. I will demonstrate how to customize these chatbots to meet specific classroom needs and student learning objectives.

My co-presenting teacher, Jordan Smith (who teaches AP Human Geography), will share her firsthand experiences and anecdotes about from the training we did at Brighton in October of 2024; to our collaboration in building a chatbot that would address her specific needs; to how her students have utilized the chatbot, the impact it had on their writing process, especially in getting more frequent practice with the FRQ writing format they will be assessed on with the AP exam, and the overall improvements observed in their work as a result.

Together, we aim to demonstrate the potential of AI in education, showcasing how teachers can effectively implement and customize these chatbots to foster student engagement and success in writing beyond an ELA classroom.
