Sick Day Guilt

You're running a fever but spending an hour writing plans instead of resting.

Last-Minute Panic

Emergency at 6am means scrambling to text a colleague or write vague "show a movie" plans.

Sub Feedback

"Plans were unclear" or "Students said there was nothing to do" โ€” the notes no teacher wants.

Sub Plans That Actually Work

Our AI creates plans so detailed, your substitute will feel like they've taught your class before. No more "show a video" backup plans.

  • Minute-by-minute timing โ€” So subs know exactly what to do when
  • Materials & locations โ€” "Blue folder on desk" not "somewhere in the room"
  • Classroom management โ€” Notes on specific students, reward systems, routines
  • Backup activities โ€” When Plan A goes sideways at 8:47am
  • Emergency procedures โ€” Fire drill, lockdown, nurse contact
