Teacher Daybook for your school
Tell us where you are and what you are after, and we will get back to you.
What you get
Teacher Daybook keeps a week’s work together: your timetable, your planning, the resources for each lesson, and a record of how every child is going. Your class sees the day, and the work in it, on their own screens.
Your planning, done once
Your school’s timetable is laid out once, and each week builds from it. A public holiday moves the rest of the week along, and your lessons stay in your library.
Your resources where you need them
Slides, links and notes sit on the lesson they belong to, so Tuesday’s reading opens with what the class needs, for you and for them. The week exports to Excel.
You know how every child is going
Understanding and effort are a click each, against the learning intention. Children add how far they got and what they want you to know. It is there at report time.
Your class knows what is next
Each child has their own page: the day on a clock, each lesson and its resources as it starts, work to finish, and the thinking routines, jobs and rewards you set.
The wheel of names and the seating plan maker are open to anyone, no account needed.

Tell me about your school and what you are after. A teacher reads it and replies - usually within a couple of days.
Everything a teacher needs, on one page
Most teaching software asks you to keep six tabs open and remember which one holds what. Teacher Daybook puts the lot in one place: your lesson plans, your timetable, your to-do list and your accountability sheets, on the page you already have open. Nothing to hunt for between bells, because it is all in the same view.
Plan the week once, and the week fills itself in
The weekly plan is not a document you write and then re-type somewhere else. Build it once and it feeds everything downstream on its own: the day's schedule, each lesson's learning intention and success criteria, the resources you attached, the accountability sheet your class fills in, and the term overview that shows what has actually been taught. Write a link into a lesson step and it becomes a resource you can hand the class with one tap. Change the plan and everything that draws on it changes with it.
Lesson plans live in a shared library your team builds together, so next year's planning starts from last year's rather than from a blank page - and a colleague's unit is one click away instead of one staffroom conversation away.
A student area where children know what to do
Every child gets their own page. It opens on the one thing that matters to them at nine in the morning: what am I meant to be doing today? From there they can
- see the day's lessons as they start, with the learning intention in words they can read;
- record how far they got on the accountability sheet, and go back and finish anything unfinished;
- reflect on their learning in their own words, which is where the real thinking happens;
- open the resources their teacher shared for that lesson;
- read notices from their teacher, their team leader or the school office;
- and play something worth playing - maths, te reo and spelling games that mark themselves and adapt to the child.
Which means the questions that used to interrupt your teaching thirty times a day - what are we doing now, where is the link, what did I miss, what do I do when I finish - are answered on the child's own screen.
Our mission: less to carry, for both of you
Teaching is a job with no natural end to the admin. Every plan re-typed, every resource re-found, every "what page are we on?" is attention spent on the machinery around teaching rather than on teaching. Children carry the same weight from the other side: not knowing what is next, what is expected, or what to do when they finish.
Teacher Daybook exists to reduce cognitive load - for teachers and for students - so that both can spend what they have on the only two things that matter: teaching and learning.

What is a student accountability sheet? - what it is, how to run one, and what goes wrong.
Built in a New Zealand classroom, not a boardroom
This was written by a practising teacher at an intermediate school in Auckland, and every feature in it is here because a class needed it that week. It runs on the New Zealand school year, terms and week cycles. Nothing in a classroom is shared beyond it unless the teacher chooses to share it.
