How Teach Edge works

Set a task once, then run marking, feedback and tracking from one place — with you in control at every step.

Teach Edge follows a simple loop: Set → Submit → AI drafts → You review → Release → Track

Step 1

Set up your class

Add a class (or department) and invite students. Each student gets a simple portal for submitting work and viewing feedback.

Step 2

Create a task and choose how it's marked

Set the question, add any context or case study, choose the exam criteria (GCSE/A-Level or your own), and switch on options like image upload and Exam Mode.

Step 3

Students submit (typed or handwritten)

Students can type directly or upload photos of handwritten work. Supports exam-style questions with images, source extracts, and diagrams.

AI Draft Feedback

Suggested mark: 12/16

What you've done well:

Clear chronological structure and good use of specific evidence
Strong explanation of how militarism increased tension
You've linked the assassination to wider context

Key misconception spotted:

You're mixing up militarism with the alliance system — here's the difference: militarism is the arms race (building armies/navies), while alliances are the agreements that meant one conflict could pull everyone in.

Try this analogy:

Think of the alliance system like a chain of friends at school — if one gets into an argument, suddenly everyone's involved.

Rewrite suggestion:

Before:

"Countries built armies which made war happen."

Try instead:

"The arms race meant countries were ready for war, but it was the alliance system that turned a regional conflict into a European war."

Next steps (specific):

Explain how each cause connected to the others (e.g. how did militarism affect the alliance system?)
Add one sentence on why these factors combined to make war more likely
Use the phrase "this meant that..." to show consequences of each cause

Step 4

AI drafts detailed, personalised feedback

Teach Edge produces a strong first draft you can actually use: a suggested mark, clear strengths, and specific next steps — plus coaching that helps the student improve. Where relevant, feedback can be broken down by assessment objectives.

Step 5

You review, tweak if needed, and release

Most of the time it's a quick check. If you want, you can tweak the mark, refine wording, or add a short note — then release feedback to students.

Review & Release

Mark:

18/25

Feedback text:

Well done on your clear structure and use of evidence. To improve further, try to link each cause to the wider European context and develop your analysis of how the alliance system escalated tensions.

What happens next (the part other tools don't do)

Feedback isn't the end — it's the beginning. Teach Edge helps you track progress, spot patterns, and support improvement over time.

Class insights

Spot common strengths and gaps across the class — so you know what to reteach or practise next.

Second attempts

Students resubmit improvements. Keep the original and the rewrite side-by-side, with changes visible.

Tracking & reports

Progress is stored over time. Generate clear student summaries for parents, HoDs, or interventions.

Students can acknowledge feedback and (optionally) leave comments — helping close the loop.
