About AgenticED

AgenticED is a sourced catalog of AI agent use cases for schools. Each entry describes an agentic move: a bounded educational workflow where an agent uses tools, checks its result, and hands control to a human at defined checkpoints.

How we check

Every use case is reviewed against the eight gates in AgenticED Methodology 1.0:

1. Educational value
2. Agentic workflow
3. Learner agency
4. Evidence
5. Privacy and rights
6. Accessibility
7. Human control
8. Operational fit

There is no averaging. An unknown holds a candidate, and a failure blocks selection. Human editorial approval is required before anything is published. Entries still in review are labeled "Under review."

Our aim is simple: show what we checked, what we refused to accept, and what remains unknown. Technical completion is not the same as educational effectiveness, and we say so.

Who it is for

District and county office leaders, educators, and the teams who build and evaluate tools for schools.
