MagicSchool AI was featured in an AI in education research carried out by graduate student Malcolm Ramey at Columbia University's Teachers College as part of his New School Design Project. The objective of the study was to investigate the applications and integration of AI in a secondary school specifically utilizing MagicSchool AI. Below is a concise summary of Malcom Ramey's new school design and findings.

The Outcome‍

Innova Academy implemented MagicSchool AI, a generative AI platform, to address these challenges. Through data analysis, MagicSchool AI helped Ms. Warren, Darien's teacher, identify his problem areas and deliver personalized instruction. Visual aids and problems related to Darien's interest in basketball were used to enhance his understanding of fractions.

Simultaneously, MagicSchool AI's technology was used in restorative practices, identifying effective interventions for specific behaviors and recommending strategies like mediation and community service.

The outcomes were striking. Darien's math performance improved and he gained confidence in solving fraction problems. Furthermore, the restorative practices implemented through AI insights promoted a more positive and inclusive school culture.
