Boom AI
Capture the evidence.
Boom reads the work students already do: exit tickets, quick checks, quiz items and short observation notes. It records exactly what each student wrote or said, and the conditions they had, like extra time or a read-aloud.
Evidence review · for teachers and support teams
Know which students are stuck by Wednesday, not by report cards.
Boom turns everyday classwork, like exit tickets, quick checks and what you notice at the table, into clear next steps for tomorrow’s lesson. Boom suggests. The teacher decides. Students get help while it still matters.
Fictional students and school. No sign-in, no setup.

What the student wrote
“1/3 + 1/4 = 2/7 because 1+1=2 and 3+4=7”

Adds numerators and denominators as separate whole numbers.
Evidence: the answer is 2/7, and the student’s own explanation describes the add-across procedure.

One exit ticket. You decide.
This is the whole loop, live. Boom reads the work and offers a guess with its reasons. You agree or disagree, pick a next step, and only then does anyone else see anything. Click through it.

The problem
Teachers see who’s struggling every day. That knowledge rarely leaves the classroom.
Students don’t fall behind all at once. It happens a little at a time: a fractions idea that never clicked, a word problem they couldn’t read, a reason they couldn’t explain.
Teachers catch these moments constantly, on exit tickets, in student journals and during small groups. But with 25 or more students and a stack of papers each night, there’s no time to sort through it all. By the time a benchmark test flags a student, they may have been stuck for weeks.
How it works
From one exit ticket to one teacher decision.
Click any step to watch that part of the loop happen.
Boom suggests what it might mean.
For each response, Boom offers possible interpretations. Is this a common misconception, a careless slip, or a reading barrier hiding a math skill? Each one points to the exact part of the student’s work it’s based on.
See how sure Boom is, and why it might be wrong.
Every interpretation shows its confidence level, the reasons it could be mistaken, other explanations, and the one question that would settle it. No mystery labels on children.
The teacher decides.
Boom suggests next steps, like a two-minute check-in, a small group with manipulatives, or a vocabulary support for the whole class. The teacher accepts, adapts, rejects or waits for more evidence. Nothing changes for a student until a teacher decides.
The support team sees the pattern.
When a student keeps hitting the same barrier, that teacher-confirmed signal can reach your intervention or MTSS team. Teams start their conversations with what the teacher actually saw, not a single test score.
What makes it different
Built around teacher judgment.
Built around teacher judgment.
AI suggests, teachers decide. Boom keeps its suggestion and the teacher’s decision side by side, so leaders can see where Boom helps and where it misses, without evaluating teachers.
Honest about uncertainty.
One exit ticket is one data point, and Boom says so. Every suggestion comes with what it doesn’t know.
Careful with children’s information.
Students are stored under anonymous IDs, never by name. Supports are described by what they do, like “read aloud,” never by disability or diagnosis.
Built on an open standard.
Every record follows the Open Formative Assessment Evidence Schema (OFAES), a free, open format so evidence can move between tools. Your school’s data is never locked into Boom.
Who it’s for
Three roles, one record.
Teachers
Spend five minutes, not an evening, figuring out who needs what tomorrow, and keep the final say.
Decides every interpretationIntervention and MTSS teams
Catch the student who’s stuck in October, while a small fix can still work, and bring real classroom evidence to every meeting.
Teacher-confirmed signalsPrincipals and district leaders
See where students struggle across classrooms and grade levels, and how often teachers agree with the AI, before you scale anything.
Patterns and agreement rateOpen standard
We made the format open, because this data belongs to schools.
OFAES is a free, openly licensed schema for classroom evidence. It covers what was observed, how it might be interpreted, how confident anyone is, what to do next, and what the teacher decided. Any tool can read and write it. Boom is one implementation.
Help us shape it. Pilot Boom with a few classrooms this semester.
We’re working with a small number of schools and districts to pilot Boom with real teachers. Start with one grade or one subject, keep your existing tools, and see what your teachers and support team learn in one term.
Questions
The obvious ones, answered plainly.
Does Boom grade students?
No. Boom helps teachers make sense of everyday practice work. It doesn’t assign grades or make placement decisions.
Can Boom act without the teacher?
No. Every interpretation and suggestion stays a proposal until a teacher decides.
Does it replace our benchmark assessments?
No. Benchmarks show where students are a few times a year. Boom helps with the daily decisions in between.
What tools does it work with?
Boom is designed to work alongside the tools your teachers already use, so there’s no new platform to learn.
How is student data protected?
Records use anonymous IDs, store no disability or diagnostic labels, and your district controls what is shared with support teams.
