Evidence

We Measure Competency, Not Attendance.

FutureTeacher distinguishes between exposure to learning, demonstrated professional competency and evidence of classroom application.

Competency Framework

Four competency domains

One professional competency standard, applied to any AI tool.

1.Responsible AI & Verification

Checks accuracy, bias and suitability; protects learner data.

Fact-checking AI output, privacy decisions, Use / Change / Reject judgements

2.Planning & Inclusive Teaching

Adapts AI drafts to curriculum, context and mixed abilities.

Lesson adaptation, differentiated tasks, low-resource classroom fit

3.Assessment, Feedback & Marking

Builds and verifies items, rubrics and feedback.

Item quality review, marking-guide alignment, feedback tone

4.Professional Productivity & Practice

Uses AI for professional work without outsourcing responsibility.

Reports, records, communication, time-saving with accountability

Use

Accurate, appropriate, fits the class.

Change

Useful draft that needs the teacher’s correction.

Reject

Wrong, unsafe or unsuitable for learners.

Assessment Architecture

Three assessment levels. Never confused.

The free readiness check orients. The diagnostic measures a baseline. Only the credential assessment can lead to a verified credential.

Level 1

AI Readiness Check

Indicative Readiness Check

Purpose: Awareness and orientation.

  • Approximately 5 minutes
  • Short indicative assessment
  • Free
  • Personalised readiness result
  • Not a formal professional competency assessment
  • Not used alone for credential award

Level 2

Professional Competency Diagnostic

Structured baseline

Purpose: Structured baseline measurement for professional or institutional programmes.

  • Scenario-based
  • Four competency domains
  • Standardised scoring
  • Deeper diagnostic
  • Cohort baseline
  • Institutional analytics
  • Appropriate for sponsored programmes

Level 3

Credential Assessment

Professional verification

Purpose: Professional verification.

  • Competency thresholds
  • Randomised item banks
  • Structured scoring
  • Identity and integrity controls
  • Targeted reassessment
  • Risk-based human quality assurance
  • Evidence used for credential award

No assessment pass = no verified credential.
