Reducing Teacher Workload From Building Courses and Managing Grading
A teacher workload platform that turns broad department goals into structured course plans, units, lessons, assignments, and rubrics. It would let teachers import or adapt existing materials, align content to learning objectives, generate differentiated activities and grading rubrics, track preparation and grading time, and share approved resources within a department while preserving teacher customization.

New and independent-school teachers may lack coherent department-wide learning goals and must build courses, readings, assignments, and assessments from scratch. Adapting colleagues’ materials is time-consuming, while grading, planning, meetings, and side teaching commitments create recurring stress, lost personal time, and burnout.
