OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
1%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Mostly fireproof. AI hands you the paperwork and steps back.
20% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. Mostly safe. AI helps around the edges, but the job stays human.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Maintain accurate and complete student records as required by laws, district policies, or administrative regulations
- Establish and communicate clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects to students, parents, or guardians
- Prepare reports on students and activities as required by administration
- Prepare assignments for teacher assistants or volunteers
- Modify the general preschool curriculum for special-needs students
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Employ special educational strategies or techniques during instruction to improve the development of sensory- and perceptual-motor skills, language, cognition, or memory
- Teach socially acceptable behavior, employing techniques such as behavior modification or positive reinforcement
- Communicate nonverbally with children to provide them with comfort, encouragement, or positive reinforcement
- Teach students personal development skills, such as goal setting, independence, or self-advocacy
- Observe and evaluate students' performance, behavior, social development, and physical health
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
"My job is 20% cooked. What’s yours?"
