INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Incline High School and Incline Middle School will be part of a two-year pilot program that introduces an advanced, AI-powered learning tool to level the playing field for students.
“The platform allows me to provide more one-on-one instruction to my students in the classroom while challenging other students to think beyond immediate answers,” said Incline High Engineering teacher Adam Shoda. “This is not about replacing a teacher with a computer, but about an opportunity for me to provide personalized instruction.”
Chat for Schools personalizes lesson plans and supports diverse learning styles using the Socratic method of questioning. The Socratic method is a dialogue between the teacher and students, driven by continuous probing questions to explore the underlying beliefs that shape students’ views and opinions.
“By using Chat for Schools response history, I can discover specific areas where a student may need more support or would like to further their studies,” said Shoda.
Chat for School’s multilingual capabilities allow English learners to keep up with more advanced courses.
The platform also offers real-time, personalized help in coding and computer science.
Chat for Schools, developed by Skill Struck, allows teachers to deliver more customized learning experiences.
After receiving a generous grant from the American Association of University Women Tahoe-Nevada, the Incline Education Fund purchased Chat for Schools.
“We extend our deepest gratitude to the Incline Education Fund for their dedicated efforts in securing funding to support K-12 education in the Incline community,” said Matt MacKay, Washoe County School Career and Technical Education Coordinator District (WCSD). “Their unwavering dedication ensures Incline’s elementary, middle and high school students have access to invaluable resources and opportunities, allowing them to thrive academically and beyond.”
Due to the Incline Education Fund contract, all WCSD schools are eligible for a limited AI pilot program through Skill Struck.
“Thank you for your commitment to our future generations,” MacKay said.
The Incline Education Fund provides innovative and technologically advanced academic opportunities to Incline schools, helping them become “model schools” for the state.
