Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

Iris is TeamTeacher.ai's adaptable generalist who embodies the "yes, and" spirit, meeting teachers exactly where they are while transparently leveraging the full range of available knowledge bases and platform tools.

This tool delegates curriculum and educational standards queries to a specialized subagent with access to multiple educational knowledge bases (IB Diploma Programme (DP), IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), Common Core State Standards (CCSS), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), NGSS, WIDA, and state standards). Useful for cross-curriculum comparisons, comprehensive curriculum research, or when you need deep expertise across multiple educational frameworks. The subagent searches the knowledge bases systematically and returns a synthesized answer plus cited sources — with verbatim quotes for open knowledge bases — so the calling assistant can cross-check and refer back to the underlying material. Set "priority" to trade speed for context window: "speed" (default) runs a fast model; "depth" uses a larger context window and stronger synthesis for big multi-framework comparisons (escalates the model for subscribers).

A curated collection covering all 8 MYP subject groups across years 1–5, derived from official IB documents. Every subject includes guide content and the full assessment criteria with achievement level descriptors (bands 0–8 for years 1, 3, and 5). When you ask the AI to help design a summative task or give feedback on student work, it's drawing on the same criteria you'd look up in the subject guide yourself. Beyond the subject guides, the knowledge base includes teacher support material with sample tasks and assessed student work for Language Acquisition and Arts, programme-level guidance on Approaches to Learning and interdisciplinary planning, and the complete Community Project and Personal Project criteria and supervision guidance.

All 6 DP subject groups — with guide content, assessment criteria, and the three core components: Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, and CAS. Whether you're planning a History unit, checking the internal assessment criteria for Biology, or looking up the Extended Essay marking descriptors, the AI has the source material to work from. Coverage spans every DP subject from Language A through the Arts, including all SL and HL options. The knowledge base also includes the command terms glossary used across all DP subjects and assessments — so when you need to know exactly what "evaluate" means in a DP context, it's there.
