From veteran educator Steve Baule, about using in the student assessment process--

Feedback to students must be authentic and contextualized. AI can support teachers as they craft feedback by helping:

- Rephrase teacher-written feedback more clearly or concisely (as mentioned above to provide a more positive spin)

- Provide sentence stems for various subject areas

- Suggest variations based on reading level or language needs

- Align feedback to rubric criteria

Teachers should not upload student writing for AI-driven feedback. Instead, AI improves teacher-generated feedback templates or clarity. As mentioned earlier, when I experimented with Copilot in a FERPA-compliant environment, Copilot significantly inflated the grades even based upon a strong rubric.
