We're excited to introduce a new admin feature that combines Writing Benchmarks with our Grading Assistant AI!
What are Grading Assistant-Powered Writing Benchmarks?
This update allows admins to create Writing Benchmarks that utilize our Grading Assistant AI, offering several benefits for both admins and teachers alike.
- By incorporating our Grading Assistant, teachers can grade student writing more efficiently, saving valuable time in class.
- For admins, this helps ensure consistent grading across schools in your district, leading to more standardized assessment.
- Admins can better evaluate the effectiveness of their writing curricula and make informed decisions for improvement throughout the school year.
Our new Grading Assistant-powered Writing Benchmark aims to streamline the grading process for teachers while maintaining high standards for student writing.
Create a Grading Assistant-Powered Writing Benchmark
❗ To get started, you must ensure that you have an active NoRedInk account with admin privileges. Please reach out to your school's Customer Success Manager or our Support team to request access.
Creating a Grading Assistant-Powered Writing Benchmark is similar to the current process, with only a few new elements added. At this time, the Grading Assistant is only available for unscaffolded prompts. While viewing the unscaffolded options, all AI-graded prompts will be grouped under the "Grading Assistant" category and marked with a magic wand icon.

Teacher Experience
For teachers, the experience is also very similar to the current process but the Grading Assistant is here to help when it's time for teachers to grade their students' submissions! Once students have submitted their work for the Benchmark, the Grading Assistant will begin scoring the submissions based on the preset rubric.
