What is Starlight?

Starlight is an innovative educational technology platform designed to transform lesson audio recordings into secure transcripts and structured coaching insights within minutes. It serves as a comprehensive solution for schools looking to scale coaching efficiently across their institution without the traditional time constraints. Starlight provides educators with a teacher-trusted, GDPR-compliant platform that prioritizes data security while delivering valuable instructional feedback. The system enables teachers to upload lesson recordings securely and receive AI-powered analysis that supports their professional development journey.

The platform offers several key capabilities including an Audio Submission System for secure storage and convenient review, AI-Powered Transcription for accurate speech-to-text conversion, an Intelligent Feedback Engine that provides structured analysis of teaching practices, and customizable Feedback Templates. Starlight also features a Feedback Quality Improvement system where users can rate and comment on feedback reports, helping to continuously enhance the AI's analysis capabilities. Perhaps most impressively, the Progressive Coaching Intelligence provides contextual feedback that builds upon a teacher's journey over time, acknowledging growth and providing increasingly personalized guidance tailored to individual development needs.

Implementation in schools typically begins with the Launchpad Programme, a low-cost entry point that allows institutions to experience Starlight before full rollout. This starter package includes five StarDrives, full platform access, and dedicated support for just £100. Schools use Starlight to reduce workload for instructional coaches while expanding coaching capacity across their staff. The platform supports various educational needs including general AI feedback for teachers, lesson analysis, ECT development aligned with the ITTECF framework, and building evidence of quality teaching for Ofsted preparation. Educators across the UK have praised Starlight as a time-saving, morale-boosting tool that provides honest feedback and supports continuous professional development.
