Socratic tutoring that refuses to give answers. Writing feedback on the actual MCAP rubric. 415 official MCCRSM standards. Built for teachers who are tired of AI doing the work for students.
Every question, rubric, and tutor interaction is engineered around how the MCAP actually works — from CAT adaptive math to MST multistage ELA.
Grades 3-8 and Algebra I use Computer Adaptive Testing. Our practice mirrors CAT — difficulty adjusts as students progress. Three subclaims: Content, Reasoning (Type II), and Modeling (Type III).
3 units · 40 min each · 23 content items per gradeGrades 6-8 and 10 use Multistage Testing — section difficulty adapts based on routing stage performance. Literary and informational performance tasks with writing prompts.
4 sections · 70 min each · MST routing for grades 6+AI feedback scored on the official MCAP holistic dimensions: Written Expression (0-4) and Written Conventions (0-3). Three writing types: Argumentative, Informative/Explanatory, and Narrative. All require thematic links to source passages.
7-point rubric · 3 writing types · holistic scoringTrack student progress toward Distinguished, Proficient, Developing, and Beginning. Our AI maps mastery to MCAP performance level descriptors so you see real test readiness.
Distinguished · Proficient · Developing · BeginningBuilt by educators frustrated with AI that does homework for students.
S.T.E.W.A.R.D. Tutor asks questions. It never reveals answers, never eliminates options, never writes essays for students. 4-level hint escalation coaches genuine thinking.
Writing feedback scored on the actual MCAP dimensions. Students see exactly where they'd land on Purpose/Organization, Evidence/Elaboration, and Conventions before test day.
Students show their work. AI validates each step, identifies where errors occurred, and asks guiding questions — without performing the calculation. Supports Type II reasoning and Type III modeling.
Track progress across all 415 MCCRSM standards. See which standards each student has mastered, which need work, and which haven't been attempted. Maps to MCAP reporting categories.
Generate MCAP-aligned practice items by standard. Type I (selected response), Type II (reasoning CR), and Type III (modeling CR) with scoring rubrics and distractor rationale.
Import rosters, push assignments, sync grades. Clever and ClassLink SSO supported. LTI 1.3 integration for Canvas, Schoology, and Google Classroom LMS.
