Rather than automating assessment decisions, the system is designed to work <em>with<\/em> teachers, allowing them to guide assessment design while drawing on AI support for alignment, adaptation, and feedback. The project brings together system design, learning sciences research, and independent evaluation to understand how AI can meaningfully support assessment practice in real classroom settings.<\/p>\n\n            <p>Additional information about the ADAPT-AI project is available on the AIR Communications website: <a href=\"#REPLACE-WITH-AIR-LINK\">Can AI Help Teachers Design Formative Assessments in Science Education?
