No. AI tutors like Beacon are designed to support teachers, not replace them, by giving students additional help and practice when they need it.
Teachers bring judgment, relationships, context, and a deep understanding of each student that technology cannot replicate. Beacon is intended to complement that work by giving students another way to work through questions and build understanding.
For students, that can mean getting step-by-step support when they are stuck, practicing independently, or reinforcing concepts outside of direct instruction. For educators, it can provide another tool to extend learning without replacing the role of the teacher.
Beacon works best as part of a broader learning experience that includes teachers, families, and other trusted adults supporting a student’s progress.
