Trained on Your Rubric,
Not a Template
Trained on Your Rubric, Not a Template
Every AI grader for teachers on the market applies the same model to every rubric. EnlightenAI is the AI grading tool that actually learns how you grade, adapting to your scoring decisions through the first five submissions.
In a study with DREAM Charter Schools, EnlightenAI scored 0.77 QWK with the teacher who trained it, higher than teacher-to-teacher consistency on the same scoring guide. That is not just automation. That is a grading assistant that knows your class.
And every grade still goes through you. As the assistant grades, it adapts to match:
Your grading scale and what each score threshold means to you
Your interpretation of each rubric criterion, not a generic definition
Your feedback style, including tone, examples, and level of detail
Aligned to major writing standards and exams
