Trust & student data
How we handle student data, and what the AI is allowed to do
Many Woodshed students are minors. We'd rather explain our actual posture plainly here than bury it in a legal document nobody reads.
What the AI can and can't do
Bounded by the teacher's own note
Never invents repertoire or assignments
Every practice task traces back to something a teacher actually wrote. The AI doesn't generate new material on its own.
Never reaches a student unreviewed
A draft plan is only visible to the teacher until they choose to publish it. There's always a human check before a student sees anything.
Doesn't replace the teacher's judgment
Woodshed drafts from the note. It doesn't decide what a student should be working on. That call stays with the teacher.
Built to be edited, not just accepted
Teachers can change anything in a draft plan before publishing. It's a starting point, not a final word.
Data
What's collected, and why
Woodshed collects what's needed to run the practice loop: the teacher's lesson notes, the practice plans generated from them, and a student's activity marking practice as done. Each account's data is isolated to that teacher and their own students.
We're a young company working through the specifics of our formal data and privacy policy. If you need documentation for your school's own review process before evaluating Woodshed, ask us directly and we'll walk through exactly what applies to your situation.
Working with minors
We'd rather be honest than overstate this
A meaningful share of Woodshed's students are children. We take that seriously in how the product is built: teacher review before anything reaches a student, no student-facing content the AI generated unsupervised. But we won't claim a formal compliance certification we haven't actually completed. If your school's procurement process requires specific documentation, tell us what's needed and we'll work through it together rather than guess at language here.
