Large-scale language models integrated within
PowerSchool Performance Matters and PowerSchool LearningNav
products will empower educators in delivering transformative
personalized learning pathways
PowerSchool Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of
cloud-based software for K-12 education in North America, today
announced its integration with Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to
use OpenAI’s large language models within PowerSchool Performance
Matters and PowerSchool LearningNav, part of PowerSchool’s
Personalized Learning Cloud.
The implementation of generative AI within these products will
dramatically improve educators’ ability to deliver personalized
learning to students at scale by enabling the application of
personalized assessments and learning pathways based on individual
student needs and learning goals. K-12 educators will also benefit
from access to OpenAI technology within a secure, private platform
with the same stringent privacy, ethics, and security standards
that govern all PowerSchool products.
“The application of Azure’s OpenAI service within PowerSchool
products will usher in a new era of personalized education,
dramatically reducing the burden on teachers and providing truly
individualized learning and support for every child,” said Hardeep
Gulati, PowerSchool CEO. “PowerSchool is uniquely positioned to
deploy AI solutions at scale, safely and securely, within our
comprehensive K12 education cloud solutions serving school,
district, and state education organizations benefiting 50 million
students.”
The generative-AI functionality will save educators a
significant amount of time by providing them with AI-generated
assessment items within the PowerSchool Performance Matters
formative assessment solution aligned to a desired learning
objective, grade level, subject, and standard, which the teacher
can use to deliver more frequent formative assessments at scale.
Instead of spending hours creating assessment items, the built-in
AI-powered item creation will reduce this effort to minutes. The
AI-generated assessment items will be complemented by AI-powered
Adaptive Testing in Performance Matters to better understand each
student’s competency and personalized instruction needs. The
educator can then leverage generative AI within the PowerSchool
LearningNav product to create multiple-choice questions within
diagnostic tests personalized to each student’s competency level to
assist in instruction and measure progress against learning
goals.
“Our goal is to bring the transformative potential of AI to
education, by powering technology solutions with large-scale AI
models that are responsibly deployed through industry-leading
partners like PowerSchool,” said Lydia Smyers, Microsoft Vice
President of US Education. "We’re looking forward to seeing the
impact Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service will bring to the education
industry through PowerSchool’s unique implementations and vision
for personalized learning.”
By integrating GPT into PowerSchool Performance Matters and
LearningNav products via Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, educators
can access the benefits of generative AI safely and securely,
integrated into the existing education technology tools they use
every day. Educators will also benefit from generative AI
recommendations with increased accuracy due to PowerSchool’s
sophisticated model performance and quality monitoring for factual
accuracy of data, validation on reasoning, sensitivity, and content
quality metrics. Additionally, PowerSchool continues to invest in
feature explain-ability, bias audits, and bias reduction strategies
of both algorithmic and data fairness in the machine learning
process to inculcate fairness, accountability, and transparency in
machine learning while making sure all students benefit from these
solutions.
