AI Agents Designed for K-12 Schools
K-12 educators manage an extraordinary range of responsibilities — lesson planning, differentiated instruction, assessment creation, parent communication, IEP compliance, and professional development — often with minimal support staff.
We have released 12 K-12 agent configurations as part of the Claw Agents collection. Each agent handles a specific school function, built with the safety guardrails and age-appropriate interactions that K-12 environments require.
The 12 K-12 Agents
Instruction and Assessment
- Tutoring Agent — Provides step-by-step academic help across grade levels and subjects with Socratic questioning
- Lesson Planning Agent — Generates standards-aligned lesson plans with differentiation strategies
- Assessment Agent — Creates quizzes, rubrics, and formative assessments aligned to learning objectives
- Writing Feedback Agent — Reviews student writing for grammar, structure, and argumentation with constructive suggestions
- Content Creation Agent — Generates supplementary materials, worksheets, and visual aids
Student Support
- Special Education Agent — Assists with IEP goal tracking, accommodation suggestions, and compliance documentation
- Student Safety Agent — Monitors for concerning language patterns and provides crisis resource referrals
Communication and Administration
- Family Communication Agent — Drafts parent newsletters, progress updates, and conference summaries
- Curriculum Alignment Agent — Maps activities to state standards, Common Core, and Next Generation Science Standards
- Professional Development Agent — Recommends training based on teacher goals and district priorities
- Research Agent — Summarizes education research and evidence-based practices for classroom application
- Administration Agent — Assists with scheduling, resource requests, and district reporting
Built with K-12 Safety in Mind
Every agent in the K-12 collection includes the SECURITY.md configuration with policies specific to working with minors:
- Content filtering — Blocks generation of age-inappropriate material
- Data minimization — Agents do not store personally identifiable student information
- Escalation triggers — Safety-related queries are flagged for human review
- COPPA and FERPA awareness — Configuration templates include compliance checkpoints
These guardrails are in the configuration files. Review them, modify them for your district's policies, and audit them before deployment.
How Teachers Actually Use These
The most impactful K-12 agents handle tasks that consume teacher planning time without requiring deep pedagogical judgment:
Lesson Planning Agent — A 5th grade science teacher provides the standard (NGSS 5-ESS1-2), topic (star brightness and distance), and time block (45 minutes). The agent returns a structured lesson plan with warm-up, direct instruction, guided practice, and assessment — including differentiation notes for ELL students and advanced learners.
Assessment Agent — A high school history teacher describes the unit (Reconstruction Era) and assessment type (document-based question). The agent generates primary source excerpts, scaffolded questions, and a rubric aligned to AP History skill standards.
Writing Feedback Agent — A middle school English teacher uploads a set of narrative essays. The agent provides individualized feedback on structure, transitions, and evidence use — saving hours of grading while maintaining the teacher's feedback voice.
Deployment for Districts
git clone https://github.com/iblai/iblai-claw-agents.git
cd iblai-claw-agents/agents/k-12Districts can deploy agents centrally through the ibl.ai platform, then assign specific agents to schools, grade bands, or individual teachers. The platform's RBAC system controls who can access and modify each agent.
Compatible with School Infrastructure
K-12 agents integrate with common school technology:
- Google Workspace for Education and Microsoft 365 Education via OAuth connectors
- Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom via LTI integration
- SIS platforms (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus) via API connectors
Open Source
All 12 K-12 configurations are MIT-licensed. Districts can fork, customize, and deploy without licensing fees. The configurations are starting points that districts should review and adapt to meet local policies, curriculum standards, and student needs.
