## Empirical Pedagogical Field Trials
### Aurora Public Schools AI-Assisted Differentiation & Grading Trial
- **Cohort:** 1,420 students (Grades 6–10 Humanities & Science)
- **Journal / DOI:** Journal of Educational Technology Systems ([10.1080/08923647.2025.2418901](https://doi.org/10.1080/08923647.2025.2418901))
- **Effect Size (Cohen's d):** +0.38 | **Teacher Grading Time:** -58%
- **Core Takeaway:** Teachers utilizing rubric-grounded AI feedback returned essays in 1.4 days (vs 7.8 days control), resulting in +0.38 Cohen's d gain in student revision quality.

### Georgia State University Large-Lecture Formative Feedback Study
- **Cohort:** 3,100 students (Undergraduate Introductory STEM)
- **Journal / DOI:** ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE) ([10.1145/3626252.3653412](https://doi.org/10.1145/3626252.3653412))
- **Effect Size (Cohen's d):** +0.44 | **Teacher Grading Time:** -62.5%
- **Core Takeaway:** Automated, instructor-supervised Socratic feedback on weekly coding lab drafts reduced DFW (Drop/Fail/Withdrawal) rates by 12.3% without inflating course grades.

### MIT Open Learning & Harvard GSE AI Socratic Scaffolding Evaluation
- **Cohort:** 850 students (High School & First-Year College Physics)
- **Journal / DOI:** Computers & Education ([10.1016/j.compedu.2026.105112](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2026.105112))
- **Effect Size (Cohen's d):** +0.52 | **Teacher Grading Time:** -45%
- **Core Takeaway:** Socratic AI scaffolds requiring students to articulate their reasoning before receiving hints outperformed direct answer generation by 2.1x in transfer exam scores.

### Dallas ISD Multilingual & Special Education Differentiation Impact Report
- **Cohort:** 2,200 students (Grades 3–8 Dual Language & SPED)
- **Journal / DOI:** Journal of Learning Disabilities ([10.1177/00222194251289041](https://doi.org/10.1177/00222194251289041))
- **Effect Size (Cohen's d):** +0.41 | **Teacher Grading Time:** -52%
- **Core Takeaway:** Multi-level Lexile adaptation tools allowed 78% of English learners and SPED students to engage with grade-level science texts, raising benchmark reading pass rates by 14%.

## Institutional AI Policy Radar
- **Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) (California, USA):** `DETECTOR_RETIRED` — Prohibits relying on probabilistic detection tools due to documented false-positive bias against English language learners; mandates process-based revision forensics.
- **New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) (New York, USA):** `MANDATORY_HUMAN_IN_THE_LOOP` — Requires teachers to verify all AI-drafted grades and notes; approves COPPA-compliant AI spaces with zero student data training agreements.
- **Chicago Public Schools (CPS) (Illinois, USA):** `CONDITIONAL_APPROVAL` — Provides teachers with pedagogical frameworks to incorporate AI as a brainstorming assistant while testing final mastery in proctored oral/written evaluations.
- **Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) (Massachusetts, USA):** `PERMITTED_WITH_DISCLOSURE` — Courses must explicitly declare one of three policies: AI Prohibited, AI with Attribution, or AI Encouraged; provides standardized syllabus statement templates.
- **Austin Independent School District (AISD) (Texas, USA):** `MANDATORY_HUMAN_IN_THE_LOOP` — Mandates 4 hours of professional development on generative AI literacy for all secondary teachers before district AI tools are unlocked in LMS.
- **University of Oxford (United Kingdom):** `PERMITTED_WITH_DISCLOSURE` — Reaffirms that generative text without attribution is plagiarism, but bans automatic penalties from software; requires tutor dialogue with the student.
