Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Update attendance and class records

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to compile attendance sheets, collected work, and your completion notes into a tidy record for the teacher. It can check names against the roster, organize returned assignments, and prepare a simple list of anything missing or unclear before class ends.

Where you stay involved

You take attendance, mark only what the teacher’s rules allow, and send any grade or record questions back to the classroom teacher.

Review level: Low

2

Tutor small groups and track progress

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to help you track which students you worked with, what skill you practiced, and how each student handled the assignment. It can turn your notes into a brief progress summary and suggest which students may need the same practice again with more support.

Where you stay involved

You give the small-group help, watch how each student responds, and tell the teacher what you saw and what seemed to help.

Review level: Medium

3

Share classroom observations with the teacher

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to turn your notes from tutoring, supervision, or materials prep into a short update for the classroom teacher. It can group what went well, what confused students, and what supplies or follow-up help may be needed for the next lesson.

Where you stay involved

You share what you observed, check that the teacher understands your notes, and follow the teacher’s lead on any changes to support or classroom routine.

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
