MagicSchool and the new NYCPS AI guidance
In March 2026, New York City Public Schools released its foundational AI guidance — the first formal framework establishing how AI should be used across the system. The guidance centers educator authority, student safety, and alignment to district priorities.
MagicSchool was built for exactly this moment. Our tools are designed to support teachers with the use cases the guidance endorses: lesson planning, differentiation, instructional prep, and student AI literacy. Every tool operates with human oversight built in, and our ERMA approval confirms that data privacy standards are met before your school ever begins. NYCPS has defined what responsible AI looks like. We’ve been building it.
Why MagicSchool
MagicSchool is the leading, most trusted, and most secure generative AI platform for educators, students, and schools, and the only one built specifically to meet the new NYCPS AI guidance. With MagicSchool, you can expect:
- Lesson planning and unit design tools aligned to NYC Reads and NYC Solves
- Differentiation support for multilingual learners and students with disabilities
- Comprehensive PD and training to build responsible AI use across your staff
- Interactive tools that save teachers time on prep, planning, and feedback
- Student-facing AI with educator-set guardrails and real-time moderation
- AI literacy development embedded in classroom practice
For educators
Over 41,000 NYCPS educators are already using MagicSchool to save time on prep and planning, personalize instruction, and build essential AI literacy skills with their students. Share with your principal so they can purchase MagicSchool Enterprise for your school — unlocking additional features, integrations, and peace of mind with administrator oversight.
For principals
The new NYCPS AI guidance is clear: schools need tools used with human oversight and educator judgment. MagicSchool meets every requirement: ERMA-approved, available directly on ShopDOE, and endorsed by the UFT and DIIT. MagicSchool Enterprise delivers administrative controls, custom tools, and PD your school needs to implement responsibly at scale.
"We’ve seen such a mass exodus from the profession. We’re losing early-career teachers in under five years. Tools like MagicSchool can actually change that, because they take some of the load off teachers’ backs."
Teacher
New York City Public Schools
"MagicSchool is integrated into the fabric of our school culture including lesson planning, differentiation and all of our daily tasks. Teachers are using both Teacher tools and MagicStudent tools to make instruction engaging and exciting. Students are using teacher-created student tools, which are safe and accessible and complete with guardrails. Unlike LLM chatbots such as Gemini and ChatGPT, MagicSchool allows teachers to tailor instruction and focus the interaction to achieve specific learning outcomes."
