AI-1321 - USA (Washington, DC) - Advance AI-Enabled Formative Assessment System - Deadline November 20,2026

(1) Vendor needs to provide advance AI–enabled formative assessment system in K–12 education contexts.– The educational problem that proposals should address is poor coordination of human teachers and AI–enabled technologies with regard to known failure points such as incoherent instruction, insufficient adaptation to learner variability, and limited teacher transparency into and control over AI outputs. Relevant technologies/tools include, but are not limited to, AI tutors, feedback and grading assistants, content and item generators, and classroom analytics dashboards.– Teachers and AI–enabled tools could usefully coordinate on learning sciences–grounded issues, including: eliciting students to improve their conceptual understanding or strong reasoning skills (and not just right answers); managing cognitive demand, cognitive load, and potential cognitive offloading; sharing information about misconceptions as well as strengths in student reasoning; using consistent, correct, and clear language and representations to guide student reasoning; and contextualizing pedagogy by the same curriculum resources, standards, frameworks, and other guiding principles– clearer insight into what AI–enabled tools are doing;– more effective ways to modify and provide context to tools;– greater ability to monitor these tools for known failure points; and– stronger support for improving their own teaching practice
