When school budgets shrink, teacher training is often one of the first things to be cut. But investing in your biggest asset can have major payoffs. Here’s how.
In the latest issue of Throughline, our research brief for education thought leaders, we bring the receipts for how to deliver low-budget, high-quality professional learning.
Highlights from this issue:
• Well-trained teachers improve student performance
• High quality PL improves teacher retention rates
• Treat PL like an operating system, not an event
• How PL can actually SAVE you money
Plus strategies for high quality professional learning on any budget.

Teachers live in their browsers.
Google Docs. Research sites. News articles. A resource you found at 8:47 pm that's perfect for tomorrow's lesson.
We built the SchoolAI Browser Extension for all of these moments.
Feedback that arrives while it still matters:
Open a student essay in Google Docs, and click the SchoolAI extension. Get rubric-aligned feedback, inline comments, and a full revision history showing how the work was built, not just what it says. The AI drafts the feedback, and you decide what reaches the student.
A thought partner in every tab:
Find a great article or primary source? Chat with SchoolAI right on the page. Brainstorm how to teach it, then turn it into a lesson plan, worksheet, or assessment in seconds. Translate it into over 60 languages, or adjust the reading level. No copy-paste, no switching tabs.
And here's the part no other extension does:
From that same webpage, create a Space where every student works through the material with their own AI sidekick, at their pace. Then open Mission Control and see who's engaged, who's stuck, and what to do next.
"Other extensions help teachers work faster. SchoolAI helps teachers and students learn better." – Melissa Brayall
Free for all SchoolAI users through the rest of the school year.
