— HOW IT WORKS: Kinwise Coach is an AI instructional coaching tool that turns real classroom moments into personalized coaching conversations in minutes.
From classrooms to coaching conversations in minutes.
No observation schedules. No calendar coordination. Teachers get coaching when they need it, grounded in what actually happened in their room.
Record
Kinwise Coach transcribes the session, identifies key moments, and opens a four-phase coaching conversation through questions, not evaluation.
Reflect
Teachers use their phone to capture a short audio clip of classroom instruction. Audio only so no video, no IT setup, no disruption.
Grow
Teacher and AI coach identify a concrete focus area, build an action plan each session, and revisit, building real growth over time.
Grounded in the same frameworks you already use
Kinwise’s coaching approach is built around nine domains of teacher practice, drawn from similar bodies of research that informs CLASS, Danielson, Get Better Faster, and Teach Like a Champion.
Lesson Design
Content and Pedagogy
Instructional Moves
Mindset about Self
Mindset about Colleagues and Leadership
Mindset about Students
Connection with Students
Learning Environment
Responsive Teaching
Coaching only works when teachers feel safe.
That’s why Kinwise Coach was designed trust-first from the ground up.
Audio only. No video, ever.
No cameras. Teachers press audio record on their screen and teach normally.
Teachers control their data.
Coaching recordings and transcripts are private by default. We ask your consent to share identifying data points.
Leaders see patterns, not conversations.
Aggregated, anonymous, building level-insights without exposing individual teacher data.
THE MATH OF SCALING HUMAN COACHES
1 instructional coach salary + benefits. -$80-100K
Teachers served per coach 15-20
Cost to cover 600 teachers $1.8-2.4M/yr
Kinwise Coach, 600 teachers -$90-120K/yr
“Scaling human coaches costs nearly $1M for 8 coaches, covering only 8 of 36 schools. And I imagine teachers are less defensive with AI coaching than with human observation. ”
WHAT CHANGES
Human coaches focus on the work only humans can do. Kinwise Coach handles the consistent weekly reflection cycles every teacher needs.
