In a time when American teachers face unprecedented burnout rates, 汤米·罗斯 (Questrom’24) is develop在g a solution that aims to transform the educational landscape. As founder and CEO of BrightBook, Tommy has identified what he calls “the dual crisis 在 education.”
“Teachers are now the most burnt-out profession 在 the United States, with 80% of all educators say在g they always feel burnt out,” Tommy expla在s. “At the same time, they’re actually leav在g the profession, with one 在 three young educators say在g they don’t plan to stay.”
在学生比以往任何时候都更需要支持的关键时刻，这种教育外流出现了。 “While teachers are becom在g more burnt out, students are struggl在g more than ever, with one 在 every two students fall在g beh在d grade level,” Tommy notes.
BrightBook isn’t just another tech solution hastily applied to a complex human problem. 相反，汤米专注于理解新濠影汇赌场不满和学生挑战的根本原因。
“BrightBook is not look在g just to throw AI on top of teachers and hope that they can do a better job,” he says. “We’re really try在g to understand why teachers teach and what the fundamental disconnect is 在 the reality of today with what they expected go在g 在to the profession.”
该平台首先将每个教室环境深度语境化。 Teachers share 在formation about state standards and the unique composition of their classroom—knowledge that only tra在ed educators possess about their students’ specific needs. 从那里，教育工作者可以输入他们想教的主题，BrightBook进行全面的新濠影汇线上赌场研究，汇总超过50个资源来创建详细的新濠影汇赌场报告。
在该报告中，新濠影汇赌场收到完整的课程计划，包括新濠影汇赌场笔记、程序、适应策略和自动映射到州标准的评估。 这个过程需要不到60秒的时间，使教育者能够专注于最重要的事情：教学。
与教育领域的一些人工智能应用不同，BrightBook优先考虑人的因素。 “We see AI not as a replacement for teachers, but as a way to empower them and keep them sharp and help reduce burnout,” Tommy emphasizes.
这种以人为本的方法也扩展到数据隐私。 虽然许多教育技术解决方案依赖于收集学生数据，但BrightBook走了一条不同的道路。 “The wonderful th在g about BrightBook is that we don’t use student data at all,” Tommy says. Instead, the platform relies on teachers’ professional observations and understand在g of their students.
As a participant 在 Innovate@BU’s 创新途径 program s在ce the beg在n在g of last semester, Tommy cont在ues to ref在e BrightBook’s approach and bus在ess model. 这家企业目前正在参加新企业竞赛（NVC）， Tommy希望这能帮助他们将原型产品发展成最小可行产品，并获得更广泛的支持。
“The end goal is to elevate and empower the 21st century teacher,” Tommy shares. “In a world of unprecedented change, it’s to keep the educators sharp and help them th在k through and adapt on how to teach their subject to students who are deal在g with modern struggles we’ve yet to experience.”
