The premise
Every year, pacing guides slip. AI can help you replan around priority standards instead of cutting blindly — so what gets dropped is intentional.
What AI does well here
- Identify priority vs. supporting standards
- Draft 2 alternative pacing recoveries
- Suggest where to compress or combine units
- Propose a shared signal for when to drop further
What AI cannot do
- Decide which standards your state actually tests heaviest
- Replace department conversations on priorities
- Predict learning loss from cuts
- Substitute for principal sign-off
