Educators, It’s Time to Reclaim Your Time — With a Little Help from AI
If you're in education, you already know:
The job never really ends when the bell rings.
You’re managing IEP deadlines, writing behavior plans, meeting with students, collecting data, responding to parent emails, filling out referral forms, prepping for student support meetings, and somehow trying to be emotionally present through it all.
You do this because you care.
But let’s be honest — the paperwork is overwhelming, and it’s only getting worse.
I’ve Been There, Too
As a school psychologist, counselor, and behavior specialist, I’ve spent years buried in documentation. I used to spend my evenings catching up on progress notes and trying to remember what happened in which session, or searching for the right wording for a BIP that was due the next morning.
I started asking:
Is there a smarter way to do this without cutting corners?
And then, I found it.
🤖 Enter AI — A New Kind of Teaching Assistant
When most people hear “AI,” they think robots or sci-fi. But what we’re talking about here is much simpler — and much more powerful for educators.
AI tools like ChatGPT are essentially writing assistants.
They can take your ideas, notes, or observations and turn them into professional, accurate drafts — fast.
Let me give you some real-world examples:
🧠 For School Psychologists & Counselors
You jot down 3 notes after a session, and AI helps you turn them into a full progress note in seconds.
You input test results and basic descriptions, and AI helps generate present levels of performance for an IEP.
You describe a student's behavior pattern, and AI gives you 3 tailored BIP goals and replacement behaviors to consider.
👩🏫 For Teachers & Special Educators
You're drafting 6 IEPs this week — AI helps generate accommodations, modifications, and data-based goals.
You need quick parent email templates that are warm, clear, and to the point. AI can draft them from a few bullet points.
You want to build an SEL lesson or classroom strategy based on a behavior — AI offers quick content ideas.
These aren’t futuristic tools. They’re available now.
You just need the right prompts — and that’s where this site comes in.
🛠️ Why I Created This Website
There’s a lot of noise out there about AI. But very little of it is made for us — the educators on the front lines.
I created this website to be a clear, practical, and supportive space where educators can:
Learn how to use AI to save time
Access ready-made prompts and templates
Download tools designed for real school needs
Get inspired, not overwhelmed
Even have a little fun (yes, there's merch too)
This is a place for people like you and me — not coders or tech developers — to use AI in a way that feels ethical, empowering, and grounded in real educational work.
🧩 What You'll Find on This Site
Here’s what I’ve built (and what’s coming soon):
✅ Prompt Packs
Organized collections of AI prompts for:
School psychologists (IEPs, reports, emails)
Counselors (session summaries, SEL plans)
Teachers (accommodations, lesson plans)
Behavior specialists (BIPs, data summaries)
✅ AI-Powered Generators
Use simple forms to build:
SMART IEP goals
Functional Behavior Analysis outlines
Parent communication messages
Progress note templates for sessions
✅ Digital Downloads
Editable Google Docs + PDFs
“Click to Copy” text for ChatGPT or other tools
Visual guides to get started with AI even if you’re a beginner
✅ Educator Merch
Because let’s be real — sometimes you just want a mug that says:
"Fueled by Prompts & Progress Notes."
You’ll find tees, stickers, and gear that reflect the heart, humor, and hustle of being an educator today.
🌟 Why This Matters
Educators are burning out at record rates.
We’re expected to be therapists, data analysts, teachers, social workers, and paperwork machines — all at once.
But what if we could offload some of the “machine” part and reclaim time for what really matters?
AI isn’t perfect.
It won’t replace your heart, your intuition, your relationships, or your knowledge.
But it can help you buy back hours each week — hours you can use to breathe, connect, reflect, or simply go home on time.

You don’t have to dive into AI headfirst.
