How do I talk to parents about Ed.ai?

Last updated: October 15, 2026

💡 Practical tips for talking to families about Ed.ai

✅ Let families know early: at the start of the year, we recommend sending parents and guardians a short, clear and friendly note explaining that you use Ed.ai in your teaching.

A good note to families does three things:

  • Explains what Ed.ai is and what you use it for, in plain language: grading assessments and creating targeted practice.

  • Reassures families about how it is supervised and how their child's data is protected: you review and decide every score and comment, and student work is never used to train AI models.

  • Involves families, so they can support their child with what they are working on.

✅ Make time for questions: give families a point of contact (you, or the right person at your school), or take a few minutes at back-to-school night to show what feedback on Ed.ai looks like.

✅ Point them to our resources: families who want details on data protection can read the Ed.ai Data Privacy Hub, which covers FERPA and COPPA.
