Our AI principles
Human Connection
The human connection between the teacher and student is at the core of learning. Nurture Assistant aims to factor manually written feedback by teachers so the Nurture assistant talks like the teacher using it.
Research
Research and pedagogy inform everything we do. This approach helps to ensure that AI tools are aligned with educational objectives and promote effective and equitable learning outcomes.
Responsibility
Implementing Artificial intelligence comes with a huge responsibility which means prioritizing transparency, accountability, fairness, and the promotion of equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Personalised feedback
The impact of personalised feedback has always been the crux of Nurture…and now it is possible to scale this, making personalised feedback faster than ever before.
Nurture's impact is enabled by Microsoft AI Technology
GPT-4 in Azure OpenAI directly in Nurture
Nurture schools get the security capabilities of Microsoft Azure while running the same models as OpenAI. Azure OpenAI offers private networking, regional availability, and responsible AI content filtering.

Why Nurture?
For Schools
Formative Assessment Policy
Policies that expect formative practices in schools
System-level approach
It’s difficult to introduce a ‘system-level’ approach to assessment & feedback for districts, states, regions and governments
Pedagogy backed
Many EdTech solutions are not built with pedagogy & research at the core.
For Teachers
Free teachers’ time to focus on delivering excellent teaching
Teacher Workload
Nurture creates assessments and personalised feedback in seconds at scale, allowing teachers to focus on delivering excellent teaching.
Teacher Wellbeing
Nurture free’s up teachers time to focus on the feedback itself instead of creating feedback.
Teacher Retention
Nurture empowers teachers with tools that make their role easier and more effective.
Effective Feedback
By requiring students to reflect on teacher feedback, students take feedback onboard more effectively.
For Students
Nurture supports growth and wellness through confidence-based feedback and reflection
Improve engagement with feedback
Students must close the feedback loop with their teachers by telling them how they felt about their feedback.
Focus on feedback, not just the grade
Students grades are locked until they focus on their feedback and give their teacher a reflection.
Feedback doesn't disappear at the bottom of the schoolbag
All feedback is stored in Nurture, accessible at any time for both student and teacher.
Shy students express more on Nurture
Reflecting on feedback is private between student and teacher so quieter students in class give the teacher more context in Nurture.
