The Challenge

Westfield Academy Network's teachers were drowning in paperwork. According to McKinsey, AI in education can automate 20-40% of administrative tasks, freeing educators to focus on teaching. Across 8 schools, educators spent 40% of their time on administrative tasks instead of teaching, and student tracking was fragmented.

  • Teachers spending 40% of their time on administrative tasks instead of instruction
  • Student progress tracking fragmented across 8 schools with no unified view
  • Parent communication delays averaging 3 days for non-urgent matters
  • Enrollment processing taking 2 weeks per student
  • Compliance reporting consuming 120+ staff hours per quarter

The Solution

We deployed a three-phase AI education strategy designed to give teachers back their time while improving student outcomes across every school. Research by Harvard Business Review demonstrates that measurable ROI from AI deployments in education comes primarily from administrative automation rather than direct instruction tools.

Phase 1 — Discovery

Administrative Audit

Surveyed all administrative workflows across 8 schools. Identified grading, attendance, parent communication, and enrollment as the highest-impact automation targets.

Phase 2 — Implementation

AI Deployment

Deployed AI-powered grading assistance, unified student analytics, instant parent communication channels, and streamlined enrollment processing.

Phase 3 — Optimization

Network-Wide Rollout

Standardized AI tools across all 8 schools, added learning analytics for personalized interventions, and automated compliance reporting.
