See the work, not just the marketing.

WriteAlign supports OneRoster CSV imports out of the box, compatible with Ascender, Skyward, and other Texas SIS providers. Districts using ClassLink will have one-click roster sync via OneRoster v1.2 REST available with the January 2027 release.

A single essay returns in about a minute. A whole class set typically completes in under five minutes. WriteAlign processes batches asynchronously, so you can keep working while scoring runs in the background — and you'll get a notification when results are ready.

WriteAlign is an AI-powered writing assessment platform built for Texas educators. It scores student writing against TEA-aligned rubrics — STAAR ECR, SCR, TSI, and custom rubrics today, with ACT, SAT, and TELPAS coming soon — and returns rubric-based feedback, exemplar responses, and instructional strategies in seconds.

WriteAlign was developed by Region 7 Education Service Center to give teachers more time for instruction, and administrators clearer visibility into writing growth across their districts.

WriteAlign is licensed at the district level, with pricing based on enrolled students. Pricing is straightforward and transparent — request a demo and we'll provide a quote tailored to your district size and grade-band coverage.

WriteAlign automatically redacts personally identifiable information (names, phone numbers, email addresses) from every student essay before it is sent to the AI for scoring. Redaction runs locally — no PII leaves your district's data path.

All student data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256 on AWS RDS). Role-based access control isolates student records to the teachers and administrators who need them. Every access is audit-logged.

A district administrator contracts WriteAlign services through their ESC, configures the campus structure, and imports rosters. Teachers can then sign in with Google Workspace SSO. Region 7 ESC provides onboarding support — including training sessions, resource library access, and direct staff assistance for partner districts.

PDF, DOCX, and plain text. You can also paste essays directly into the upload form. WriteAlign handles handwritten work that has been digitized to PDF, though scoring fidelity depends on OCR quality.

WriteAlign is designed for the full district hierarchy — teachers, instructional coaches, campus administrators, district administrators, and ESC support staff. Each role sees the data appropriate to their scope, with full data isolation between roles.

Student-facing features, including a student writing workspace and AI writing coach, are coming with the January 2027 release.

No. WriteAlign uses Anthropic's Zero-Data-Retention API endpoint, meaning student writing is processed in real time and immediately discarded. Anthropic does not log, store, or train on student data submitted through WriteAlign.

Built-in analytics show active teachers, scoring volume, and submission rates by campus and grade band. Operational cost is tracked per district so you have transparent budgeting data — no surprise invoices, no opaque billing.

WriteAlign's scoring is calibrated against human-scored reference samples and tested across multiple Claude models. The platform is designed for instructional use — the highest-leverage signal is per-domain feedback that reveals patterns across a class, not the precise numeric score on a single essay. Teachers report the strongest value in the time it saves on routine scoring and the consistency of feedback across hundreds of essays.

WriteAlign uses Anthropic's Claude model to read each student response and apply the rubric you select. The platform returns per-domain scores, an overall score, written feedback for each domain, exemplar responses at each performance level, and class-level instructional recommendations.

Teachers retain full discretion. WriteAlign's scores and feedback are tools for instruction — not replacements for professional judgment.

WriteAlign provides the technical controls FERPA requires: role-based access, row-level data isolation, audit logging, encryption, PII redaction, and configurable data retention. The legal framework — Data Processing Agreements between the district, WriteAlign, and Anthropic — is established at district onboarding.

Districts should consult their own legal counsel for final FERPA determinations specific to their context.

Neither. WriteAlign streamlines the part of scoring that's repetitive — applying a rubric to thirty essays — so you can spend more time on what only a teacher can do: planning instruction, conferring with students, and choosing what to reteach. Final assessment decisions are always yours.

Available today: STAAR ECR (Extended Constructed Response), STAAR SCR (Short Constructed Response) for reading, science, and social studies, and TSI Writing. Districts and campuses can also build their own custom rubrics through the Studio interface, and the scoring engine adapts automatically.

ACT Writing, SAT Essay, and TELPAS Writing are coming soon.

Per the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act, WriteAlign publishes a public AI transparency disclosure communicating that AI is used for scoring and feedback, the high-risk classification of educational AI, and the safeguards in place. Educators are notified at the point of use that AI is involved in scoring.
