Section 1
The premise
Static pacing guides assume static reality; AI-assisted pacing adjusts based on actual student progress.
What AI does well here
- Surface where the class is ahead, on track, or behind based on assessment data
- Recommend pacing adjustments (skip, compress, extend) based on mastery levels
- Identify students who need additional support before moving to the next unit
- Generate the parent communication when pacing changes affect their student's experience
What AI cannot do
- Substitute for teacher judgment about what's right for these students this year
- Replace the curriculum team's responsibility for scope-and-sequence integrity
- Make pacing recommendations from incomplete or unreliable assessment data
