Frequently Asked Questions
Updated: July 16, 2026
Can I scan multi-page assignments?
Yes. Scan every page of a packet or essay and Co-Teacher keeps each student's work together.
What can I scan?
Handwritten or typed work across subjects: math, ELA, science, short responses, essays, multiple choice, exit tickets.
Are there other ways to scan than my phone?
Yes. Use an iPhone, iPad, or Android, or have students scan their own work at a class iPad station. Email a PDF and Google Classroom integration are coming this fall.
How long does it take?
Around 5 minutes to generate the analysis and materials for a class set.
Do I have to set up a roster?
No. Co-Teacher reads students' names from their paper. No accounts, no imports, no setup.
When would I fit this in my day?
Scan at the end of class or after class. Then choose whatever works best for you: give personalized worksheets as homework, teach a small group later the same day, or use practice sheets as a warm up the next day. Pull small groups as time allows based on the shape in the top right corner of their practice sheet.
Is this aligned to my state's standards?
Yes. Standards alignment is powered by Learning Commons.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
A general chatbot can write a lesson; it can't run a teacher's routine. Co-Teacher is built for the daily loop, scan, analyze, reteach, with consistent outputs grounded in research, HQIM, and accurate state standards, rather than a blank prompt and a different result every time.
What student information do you collect?
Only what's needed. We read the name a student writes on their paper, along with their work, state, and grade level. We don't require dates of birth, contact information, addresses, or government identifiers.
How long do you keep student work?
For school accounts, we keep it for the duration of the engagement, then delete it within 30 days of termination or of your request. Backups are purged within 30 days. You can request deletion anytime, including mid-year, and we'll confirm it in writing.
How accurate is the analysis?
Very. We've reviewed it weekly for six months across hundreds of assignments. When it does miss, one tap on "disagree" corrects the score and helps us improve.
Can I give Co-Teacher context about my lesson?
Yes. Share a rubric, the passage, or lesson plan.
Does Co-Teacher support other languages?
Yes, currently Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
Do I need my school's IT to install anything?
No. No installs on school systems, no integrations required, no student accounts. A phone or tablet on school wifi is enough.
Is student work used to train AI?
No. We don't use student data to train AI models, and our AI providers are contractually prohibited from training on it either.
Can my school use this?
We're partnering with a small founding cohort of schools this fall. Email ian@co-teacher.com to learn more.
