Can students use Ask Sparq during a test?
Educators can use controlled assessment mode, where tutor assistance is locked and feedback can remain hidden until the teacher releases it.
Educators and schools
AI tutor for schools
An explanation-first AI tutor inside structured K-8 practice
Ask Sparq gives students contextual help inside K-8 practice while educators retain control of assignments, assessment policies, and learning evidence.
- Ask Sparq explains reasoning in the context of practice
- Educators control when support is appropriate
- Controlled assessments can lock tutoring and delay feedback
Besparq progress evidence
Teacher-controlled
Educators choose assignments, feedback policies, recipients, and follow-up.
Curriculum-structured
Work is organized by grade, subject, unit, skill, and learning step.
Evidence you can inspect
Reports connect summaries to questions, responses, assignments, and skills.
Explanation-first AI
Ask Sparq supports reasoning inside structured practice when help is enabled.
The instructional problem
School AI needs boundaries and instructional purpose
A general chatbot is not a curriculum. Ask Sparq sits inside structured learning work so help begins with a known skill and question context. The product direction is explanation-first: support the learner’s reasoning without replacing the educator or turning every task into unrestricted chat.
How it works
From learning target to next action
- 1
Start from assigned learning
The student works inside a teacher-selected skill or curriculum path.
- 2
Ask for an explanation
Ask Sparq helps unpack the concept or reasoning when assistance is enabled.
- 3
Protect assessment conditions
Assessment mode supports controlled feedback and prevents tutor assistance from undermining the evidence.
- 4
Keep educator visibility
Teachers review learning outcomes and response evidence; future tutor evidence is planned with privacy-preserving summaries rather than raw private conversations.
Curriculum and standards
AI support is attached to real curriculum structure
Ask Sparq is not presented as the source of curriculum truth. Besparq’s grade, unit, skill, step, question, and standards mappings provide the instructional structure. AI is used as a support layer within that structure.
Alignment note: Besparq uses standards and established curriculum progressions as mapping references. “Aligned” does not mean endorsed, certified, or adopted by the Common Core State Standards Initiative, a publisher, state, or district.
Evaluation guidance
Evaluate the boundaries as carefully as the answers
Schools should assess AI products for data handling, age-appropriate use, assessment controls, educator oversight, and how clearly the tool separates generated guidance from stored evidence. Besparq’s privacy and governance surfaces are designed to support that review.
Questions educators ask
Clear answers before you evaluate
Does AI decide student grades?
Objective responses use deterministic scoring and written responses go to educator review. AI-generated curriculum drafts also require educator approval before publication.
Does Besparq replace the teacher?
No. Besparq organizes practice, scoring, and evidence so educators can make faster instructional decisions. Teachers still choose what to assign, interpret the evidence, and decide how to respond.
