Introducing Teacher's Buddy

August 13, 2024

Everything you need to know about your new favourite AI Teaching Companion - Do Hours of Work in MINUTES!

RECLAIM YOUR EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS

In the dynamic world of education, change is constant, and so is the demand on teachers. We’ve developed a groundbreaking AI software, designed to revolutionise time spent on day to day tasks such as course scoping, lesson planning, worksheets as well as tedious admin tasks.

We understand that the countless hours spent on lesson planning often overshadow the joy of imparting knowledge. We’re on a mission to help teachers reclaim their evenings and weekends so they can get back to what teaching should be about - spending quality time with students and inspiring young minds.

Your AI Assistant to help speed up teaching tasks

1. COURSE SCOPING

Create a course overview in seconds. Adjusting variables such as number of sessions and how the course is structured to suit your individual needs. You can choose from options like:

  1. Session (best for a specific number of sessions)
  2. Section (best for in depth learning in module format)
  3. Topic (best for breaking down into digestible topics, topics could span more than one lesson)
  4. Week (best if you’re covering a lot of ground in 1 week)
  5. Day (best for daily programme of activity)

Simply add in the topic or lesson title and any relevant context and Teacher’s Buddy does the rest.

You then have the option of rolling them out into slides, worksheets or generate exemplars and games within seconds. Simply highlight the section you want to focus on and click on your desired output on the right hand side.

2. LESSON PLANNING

Either working from your course scope or starting fresh with a specific lesson plan requirement. Simply add in the title of your lesson and any detail about what you want it to cover. Here are some top tips for getting the most out of this function:

  • Provide any background on what the students already know about the topic
  • If you have an idea of the structure or areas you want to cover, here is a great place to add that.
  • You may want to request some fun activities or recommendations to online resources.
  • If you have particular student needs (e.g. catering for those with ADHD or other learning difficulties)

Once created you can edit, rework, create slides, worksheets by highlighting any section.

3. WORKSHEETS

Need a specific worksheet to help embed student knowledge?

4. ADMIN TASKS

In your dashboard you’ll see a section on Admin tasks. This is where Teacher’s Buddy takes care of all the tedious tasks that you never signed up for when you became a teacher.

Write an email or letter - craft the perfect email for any situation, no matter how sensitive or difficult to approach.

Permission slips - focus on the amazing experiences you’ll be providing your students and not the admin surrounding it.

Risk assessments - safety comes first. Let Teacher’s Buddy help you scope out risk assessments for any age or subject matter. 

Problem solving - if you have disruptive students, need to balance the diverse needs of students or even struggling with time management. We have a freeform prompt that allows you to ask Teacher’s Buddy for advice, no matter how silly you might think it is.
