Is AI working for K-12 teachers? A two-year study of 542 educators
When districts invest in an AI platform, the question isn't whether teachers will try it. It's whether they'll still be using it a year from now, and whether the outcomes hold up under scrutiny.
This study answers both questions. Conducted by an independent researcher across Kettle Moraine, Palmyra-Eagle, Pewaukee, and Waunakee school districts, the research combined survey data from 542 certified educators with platform usage analytics spanning each district's implementation period through December 2025.
The central finding: educators who cross the one-year mark with Brisk report meaningfully stronger outcomes across multiple measures, and the gains compound with sustained use.
Inside the study
3x increase in feedback time savings
Feedback time savings grow from 15% to 45% with sustained use. Feedback is the most time-intensive part of teaching, and this was the largest single tenure effect in the study.
2x improvement in time management
Time management ease nearly doubles, from 34% to 60% after two years.
50% increase in AI confidence
AI confidence grows from 42% to 63% through platform use alone. No separate PD required.
