Dashboards and AI for a K–12 school, built and in daily use.

I design and build the tools teachers and leaders at the American International School in Abu Dhabi use every day: dashboards that turn assessment data into decisions, an AI literacy program for Grades 6–12, and the professional learning around them. Each sample is the tool's real code with a made-up school behind it – try anything you like.

  • Data & visualizationDashboards and briefings leaders act on: measures defined, sources reconciled, limits stated.
  • Learning technology & AIAI literacy for students, AI in planning and assessment, and AI tools judged on evidence.
  • Design & professional learningResources, workshops and self-paced modules that are clear, accessible and on brand.

Tour · five stops

For the K–12 Data Analytics & Visualization Specialist role

Dashboards, disaggregation, reconciling three exports with SQL, defined measures, program evaluation and AI that is checked against the source.

  1. A briefing a leader can read in a minute
  2. Three messy exports, one clean picture
  3. One school, four dashboards
  4. Evaluating an AI pilot, with the evidence
  5. Data a teacher can act on

Tour · five stops

For the K–12 Learning Technology & AI Specialist role

Student AI literacy, lessons in a home language, professional learning on assessment in the age of AI, AI-made classroom activities and an AI tool pilot.

  1. An AI lesson, from the student's seat to the dashboard
  2. The same lesson, in a student's home language
  3. Professional learning in teachers' own time
  4. From an AI chat to a classroom activity
  5. Piloting an AI tool before the whole school uses it

The tools

Six tools in daily use at the school

Open any of them: each runs its real code on a made-up school, with nothing to sign in to and nothing sent anywhere.

  • The real code, not mock-ups
  • Made-up people: every student and score invented
  • Stays in your browser: nothing is sent anywhere
  • Teach

    AI Lessons

    AI literacy lessons for Grades 6–12 – how AI works, building with it, judging it, using it ethically – and the dashboards teachers, school leaders and the AI lead use to follow every class: what has been taught, who finished, who needs a nudge.

    Try: do a lesson as a student, then find it on her teacher's dashboard – or open a Grade 8 lesson in Korean or Russian.

    • AI literacy, Grades 6–12
    • Dashboards for four roles
    • Access by role
    • Every chart as a table
    • Arabic and four home languages
  • Teach

    Activity Hub

    Teachers paste HTML from any AI tool and get a classroom activity with its own link and QR code, saved to a shared library colleagues can search, filter and remix.

    Try: open a simulation from the library – the projectile lab, Train a Tiny AI, Build an Atom – as a teacher and then as a student, then paste your own HTML and publish it.

    • AI for creative work
    • Every activity sandboxed
    • Search, filter, remix
    • QR and Classroom
  • Plan

    Assessment Calendar

    Before booking a test, a teacher sees what each student already has that day. No more than two summatives per student per day.

    Try: book a third test as a teacher, then approve it as a school leader.

    • Per-student load
    • Approvals
    • No more manual checks
  • Grow

    Learning Hub

    Self-paced PD modules with progress and certificates, and the dashboards that show who has done what.

    Try: the module Assessment Design in the Age of AI as a teacher, then the admin dashboard as the PD lead.

    • Self-paced PD
    • Progress and certificates
    • Uptake dashboards
  • Data

    MAP Dashboard

    Turns NWEA MAP Growth exports into a plan a teacher can act on: who grew, who needs support, how to group and seat the class – with a spoken briefing.

    Try: the Spoken Briefing, the growth quadrants, the seating planner.

    • Data explained to teachers
    • Grouping and seating
    • Works offline
  • Data

    Data Anonymizer

    Swaps student names for codes before a spreadsheet goes to an AI tool, then puts the names back into its answer.

    Try: anonymize the made-up class list, then put the names back.

    • Responsible AI
    • Student privacy
    • Nothing leaves the browser

In development

What I’m building now

Tools I am shaping with school leaders, shown as early drafts – and how I would evaluate an AI tool before a school adopts it. Like everything here, they run on a made-up school.

  • Draft

    Lion Tracks

    A whole school’s assessment results in one place: MAP Growth, CAT4 reasoning and DIBELS early reading, with a briefing for leaders, growth by grade and class, the students who need support, and the actions agreed.

    Try: bring in the files and reconcile them, turn on “Show the evidence” on the briefing, then switch “Viewing as” to a teacher.

    • MAP, CAT4 and DIBELS
    • Reconciling sources, in SQL too
    • Every measure defined
  • Draft

    School Review

    An internal school review against the UAE School Inspection Framework: book and write up lesson observations on a tablet, log evidence, and watch the insights and the report take shape.

    Try: start one of your lessons, write it up, then see it in Insights and the Report.

    • Lesson observations
    • Evidence log
    • Report drafting
  • Draft

    AI Pilot Evaluation

    A full evaluation of an eight-week pilot of an AI tool – MagicSchool, with an invented school and teachers: a weighted rubric with privacy and security as gates, a before-and-after teacher survey, usage, evidence of student learning, and comments themed by AI and checked by a person.

    Try: lower a privacy score on the Rubric and watch adoption stop, then change a comment’s theme and watch the AI–person agreement recalculate.

    • Pilot evaluation
    • Survey and rubric
    • AI checked by a person

Case studies

How the tools came about, and what they have done

The problem, the people, the design decisions, the rollout – and real totals from the live tools (counts only, never a student's data).

Resources I designed

For teachers, leaders and parents – ready to print

An infographic, guides, a poster and a workshop deck in the school’s brand: one idea per page, a clear hierarchy, accessible color, and print layouts that fit the paper.

How I build

Safe, accessible and built to last

  • Privacy by designOnly school accounts, checked at every layer; each role sees only its own classes; reviewed against ADEK's School Digital Policy and the UAE's data protection law.
  • Accessible by defaultEvery chart has a table; color is never the only signal; keyboard and screen-reader friendly; Arabic, and lessons in four home languages.
  • Built to lastAutomated tests on every change, the old and new versions checked side by side when a system moves, and documentation for whoever comes next.
  • AI-assisted, human-checkedI use AI for code, queries and drafting; nothing it produces reaches a teacher or a report without tests, a check against the source and my own review.

About

Brandon A. Baki

I work with the teachers and leaders of the American International School in Abu Dhabi to find what would make their work easier or their students' learning better – and then design, build, test and roll it out.

I'm applying for the K–12 Data Analytics & Visualization Specialist and K–12 Learning Technology & AI Specialist roles, and I'd be glad to walk you through any of it.
