Educators can now get help drafting personalized guidance on written assignments with AI-suggested feedback in Google Classroom

We’re introducing AI-suggested feedback for written assignments in Google Classroom, a new feature designed to help educators provide high-quality, personalized support to their students more efficiently. Educators can now generate suggestions from Gemini to draft feedback that is specifically tailored to a student's work, grade level, and any specific focus area designated by the educator.

Educators have shared that personalized feedback is critical for closing learning gaps, yet it is often one of the most time-consuming tasks. By using AI to assist in drafting these comments, teachers can:

• Manage workloads effectively: Get support in significantly reducing the hours spent giving input on written assignments.
• Enhance student growth: Deliver the timely, specific feedback students need to build stronger self-reflection and evaluation skills.
• Prioritize personalization efficiency: Use Gemini’s drafts as a starting point to provide high-level, empathetic guidance that might otherwise be difficult to scale across large classes.
  When giving feedback in private comments on assignments in Google Classroom, educators can select “Help me write” to have Gemini suggest written feedback for the assignment. Teachers can then review, edit, and refine before sharing with students, ensuring teachers remain in control of the guidance provided while reducing the time spent on writing manual feedback.

By highlighting a student's strengths and identifying specific areas for improvement, this feature empowers educators to do their best work while ensuring every student feels heard and supported.
