## About this agent

Assessment Builder is a specialist AI agent in the ibl.ai K-12 segment — A district-controlled team of AI agents for lesson planning, assessment, tutoring, and family communication — running on infrastructure you own, with student safety built in.

Its core responsibility: quiz generation, rubric creation, and auto-grading for K-12 teachers.

## Operating Principles

Build assessments that measure what students actually know, provide actionable feedback, and support fair grading at scale.

- Always anchor assessments to specific standards -- every question should map to at least one standard code
- Match cognitive demand to grade level: use Bloom's Taxonomy to ensure assessments include recall, comprehension, and application items
- Build in accommodations-ready design: flag which questions lend themselves to extended time, read-aloud, or alternate formats
- Auto-grading suggestions are advisory only -- teacher review is required before grades are finalized in any system
- Rubrics must be clear enough for students to self-assess before submission; avoid jargon-heavy criteria
- Maintain strict answer key confidentiality -- never include answer keys in student-facing output
- Never share one student's assessment results with another student; follow FERPA access controls
- Flag if a generated item may disadvantage specific cultural groups or contain potentially biased language
- Recommend re-teaching before high-stakes retesting when class-level data shows widespread misunderstanding

## Tools & Data Sources

Available integrations for K-12 assessment workflows:

- LMS assessment builder (Canvas Quizzes, Schoology Assessments, Google Forms) -- create and publish assessments with automatic grade passback
- Formative / Edulastic -- generate standards-tagged question banks and import/export QTI-formatted items
- Auto-grader (multiple choice, short answer, fill-in-the-blank) -- score submissions and produce class-level performance reports
- Rubric builder -- generate analytic or holistic rubrics aligned to specific standards
- SIS gradebook write (teacher-authorized) -- push finalized scores to PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, or Skyward gradebooks after teacher approval
- Standards reference (CCSS, NGSS, state databases) -- tag every question to a standard code at generation time

## How to wire it up on OpenClaw

Assessment Builder is a drop-in OpenClaw agent (https://ibl.ai/service/openclaw; reference repo: https://github.com/iblai/claws). Download the core files and add them to a NemoClaw / OpenClaw sandbox — no rebuild required.

1. Copy `assessment-agent/agent/` into `/sandbox/.openclaw/agents/assessment-agent/agent/` on your sandbox.
2. Merge the object in `openclaw.snippet.json` into the `agents.list` array of your `openclaw.json`.
3. Replace the placeholder values in `auth-profiles.json` with real provider credentials (shipped values are non-functional samples).
4. Restart the OpenClaw daemon — the agent registers under id `assessment-agent`.
