Brisk Teaching Now an NYSITCC-Approved Vendor to Expand AI-Powered Teaching Tools Across New York State

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (September 5, 2025) – Today, Brisk Teaching announced a new partnership with the New York State Instructional Technology Contract Consortium (NYSITCC). This collaboration makes Brisk Teaching’s AI-powered educational tools accessible to schools and districts across New York state through a streamlined procurement process, enhanced support services, and competitive pricing.

The partnership enables New York educators to access Brisk Teaching’s comprehensive platform, which helps teachers save time on lesson planning, assessment creation, and personalized learning while ensuring full compliance with New York State Education Department requirements including EdLaw2D, Portrait of a Graduate guidelines, and NYS Learning Standards.

“We’re excited to partner with participating BOCES to bring our AI-powered teaching tools to educators across New York,” said Arman Jaffer, founder and CEO of Brisk Teaching. “This partnership represents our commitment to making innovative educational technology more accessible to teachers while ensuring they have the support they need to transform instruction and improve student outcomes.”

Being an NYSITCC approved vendor ensures that this AI platform is safe, private and trusted for NY teacher use. The partnership also provides districts with dedicated support from BOCES Model Schools trainers, ensuring educators receive comprehensive training and ongoing assistance to maximize the platform’s impact.

“The Ossining Union Free School district has been using Brisk for a year and a half and it has made a tremendous impact on instruction, student engagement and teacher well-being,” said Allison Bacon, Coordinator of Instructional Technology. “This extension is an educational game changer – it safely and securely integrates AI in the classroom. Brisk empowers our teachers with AI tools that they know comply with New York State Ed Law 2D – ensuring we are safely and ethically using AI to better our school community.”

This partnership positions Brisk Teaching to help thousands of New York educators enhance their instructional practices with AI-powered tools. Through the collaboration, teachers will be able to generate ready-to-use classroom materials, design differentiated assessments – including Regents exam preparation – and create personalized learning experiences that address diverse student needs. By streamlining administrative tasks, Brisk Teaching frees up time for educators to focus on crafting engaging, standards-aligned content that drives student achievement.

Schools and districts interested in accessing Brisk Teaching through the NYSITCC contract can contact their local BOCES for more information.
