01 / The workflow
A natural part of
your teaching day.
Capture what you already notice. SAM helps turn those moments into something you can use.
Let SAM organise.
SAM processes your recordings locally and helps organise verbal observations into student assessment records.
Review. Make it yours.
Review feedback, rubrics and email drafts with the SAM Remote app. Keep your judgement at the centre of every assessment.
02 / Less admin, more insight
The work behind teaching.
Made more manageable.
From a quick classroom observation to a thoughtful parent update, keep the evidence connected.
Notice every student.
Radar nudges flag students you haven’t recorded observations about recently, helping you make space for the quieter voices in your classroom.
Keep parents in the loop.
Draft personalised progress emails from your classroom records, with context about each student’s strengths and next steps.
Make feedback last.
Turn verbal feedback into written comments, grades and rubrics that can be shared with students through their school email.
A head start on report cards.
Report Card Studio brings your observations together into comment drafts for review, with CSV export to support your reporting workflow.
Put your rubrics to work.
Upload a rubric and use verbal feedback to help populate levels and calculate scores. Review the suggested assessment before making it final.
See the thinking behind a mark.
Rationale reports connect suggested grades to the observations behind them, making the evidence easier to revisit and explain.
03 / Privacy by design
Local intelligence.
School-centred
control.
SAM is designed around a physical hub in your school, with core AI processing kept on local hardware.
Processing stays close.
Voice transcription, speaker filtering and AI reasoning run locally, without sending recordings to a cloud AI service for processing.
Separate teacher workspaces.
A shared SAM Hub supports multiple teachers. PIN access and linked microphones help keep each teacher’s records separate.
You decide what gets shared.
Local AI supports your assessment work. Email and remote access use their configured connections; review drafts and sharing settings as part of your school’s workflow.
04 / From the classroom
