schoolteacher.network · For classroom teachers, K–12 · The daily driver & the teacher network
You teach the class, take the attendance, grade the work, print the report cards, and answer the families — usually before lunch. schoolteacher.network is the one login where the classroom day actually runs: your roster, your per-meeting attendance, and a gradebook that rolls up to GPA with printable report cards and transcripts.
It is also a network — a place to find the teachers who teach what you teach. That part is launching, not live: there is no feed and no posting here yet. What you can do today is sign in and run your day, lean on the free lesson and script libraries, and add your name to the waitlist so you are in the room when the network opens.
Sign in self-routes teachers to their workspace, classroom, and gradebook. No contract, no lock-in.
What runs today
This is the part that is built and working. Every card below is a capability you can use after you sign in, labelled honestly — Built means the engine exists and is production-ready, and where a piece is still coming the label says so.
Your roster is the class you actually teach: names, seats, and the groups you sort them into. Take attendance per class meeting in a couple of taps, and the present and absent counts total honestly — a null rate on an empty class, never a fabricated 0/0. It is the first thing that loads in the morning and the last thing you close.
Built
Enter grades where you already think about them — by assignment, by category — and let the gradebook roll them up to a GPA and out to printable report cards and transcripts. The math is the boring-reliable kind: you can see how one mark moved a grade, and the report card is generated from the real record instead of retyped at the end of the term.
Built
When a student finishes a lesson that runs inside the platform — the journalism curriculum is the built example — the completion and the grade post back into this gradebook automatically, walled by the student-privacy rules and summed for you. You assign the work once and read the result in the place you already grade, not in a second system you have to reconcile.
Built
For the students on a plan, the special-education engine tracks the compliance deadlines and logs the service minutes delivered against what the plan requires, and flags a due date or a minutes obligation before it slips. It tracks and flags — it does not author the plan, decide a service, or offer legal advice. Plan data is minor PII: consent-gated, school-owned, and never made public.
Built
The reader and the tools are screen-reader-friendly and fully keyboard-operable, and contrast and alt text are checked automatically. Here is the promise: we will never charge you extra to be accessible or to reach a family who speaks another language at home. Each school sets its language — English or French today. A private translation engine that runs on our own computers, so no student or family information is sent to an outside cloud, is coming — we will not call it shipped until it is.
Built · translation coming
Sign in with the single sign-on your district already uses, or bring the class list by a standard import from your student-information system. There is no contract to escape and no lock to spring. This complements your system of record rather than claiming to replace it — it is an honest daily driver, not a certified academic system-of-record, and we say so.
Built
The classroom daily driver settles no money — records are the free tier. Money is honest-off across the platform today.
The teacher network · Launching
Teaching is the profession where the person one door down has already solved the exact problem in front of you — and you may never get the ten minutes to ask. The teacher network is the part of schoolteacher.network built for that: a place to find the teachers who share your subject and your grade, ask a real question, and share what actually worked this week.
Here is the honest part. The network is not live yet. There is no feed, no posting, no messaging, and no member directory on schoolteacher.network today — nothing you could write here would be published, because there is nowhere to publish it. We would rather say that plainly than fake a room full of people. The one thing that works today is the waitlist.
When it opens, you will be able to find the teachers who teach what you teach — not a firehose, just the handful whose Tuesday looks like yours.
A place to ask the specific thing — the lab that never works, the unit that always runs long — and hear back from someone who has taught it, not from a search result.
Share the assignment, your model piece, and the rubric behind the win. A post that attaches the work of a student under 18, or of one whose age is not recorded, is dropped whole before it can reach the feed, with or without the family’s consent, so that student never ends up public just because you wanted to celebrate them. Their work stays inside your school’s signed-in space, where the family’s consent decides who sees it.
Add your name and the subject and grade you teach, and you are in the room when the network opens. It is a note to a person, not a signup funnel — no drip campaign, and this site keeps no browser storage on you.
Free resources, shared
schoolteacher.network is a front door to the free content the platform gives away. Below is what is live today, what is opening soon, and where the resource home lives — each link honest about its state.
Classroom-ready lessons across reading & writing, math, science, and social studies — each one written original and aligned to a real, checkable public standard code. Free to read, print, and teach. A sample is on this page.
Live · free
A growing library of original scripts — comedies, fairy tales, one-acts, and classroom skits — free to read, print, rehearse, and perform. No royalty and no per-performance fee; keep the author and the library on your program.
Live · free to perform
The sibling library for school music programs — scores for choirs, small ensembles, and classroom music, under the same free model. The catalog is in curation; it is opening soon, not available yet.
Opening soon
For yearbook and journalism teachers: 34 lessons that teach on the exact screen a student is working, an administrator-ready standards alignment report across 51 states and areas, and grades that post back to your gradebook. Honest that aligning to a standard is not the same as certifying it.
Built
For the other half of the job: classroom-management techniques, formative-assessment checks, complete guides on differentiation and family communication, and career tools. That is educator.center; here you run the day and (soon) meet your peers.

A live sample · the free lesson-plan library
These are drawn straight from the free library, one per subject. Each is original, and each carries a real public standard code you can check in a curriculum review. Aligned across Common Core English Language Arts, Common Core Mathematics, Next Generation Science Standards, the C3 Framework for Social Studies.
Reading & writing · Grades 3-5
Students read a short nonfiction passage, name its main idea in one sentence, and point to two details that back it up.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.2 · Determine the main idea of a text and explain how key details support it.
Free lesson · live
Math · Grades 3-5
Students fold paper strips into equal parts, then add fractions that share a denominator and check the sum against the model.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.B.3 · Add and subtract fractions with like denominators by joining and separating parts of the same whole.
Free lesson · live
Science · Grades K-2
Students plant seeds in two cups, give one light and water and keep the other in the dark, and record what changes over a week.
K-LS1-1 · Use observations to describe patterns of what plants need to survive.
Free lesson · live
Social studies · Grades 6-8
Students read a short public-domain document from the 1800s, identify who wrote it and when, and separate facts from the writer's opinion.
D2.His.10.6-8 · Detect possible limits and point of view in the primary sources used to study the past.
Free lesson · live
Each is a print-and-teach lesson plan — objectives, an activity, and the standard it meets. The library authors its own lessons and tags them to a multi-organization standards registry — it does not reproduce any framework’s copyrighted text.
Student privacy is the teacher’s too
Anything on this public site that could involve a student runs behind a single rule: a minor is never public. A row reaches the page only when it is explicitly recorded as an adult; a student under 18, or a record with no age on it at all, is suppressed at the source. Not hidden by a setting you might forget, not filtered on the screen — removed before the page is ever assembled, so a minor can never be made public, indexed, or searchable here. A family’s consent is a decision inside the school; it never puts a child on the public web. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and the school owns the data throughout.
Picture day adds the second wall the same way: photos are never sold, facial recognition is a capability we are building and is not turned on today, and finding a child is a permission-checked class-list lookup rather than a face match. Face matching is a capability we are building and is not turned on today — the recognizer is not yet wired: it holds no face-recognition model weights, and no face template is computed from a photo. Photo finding uses a permission-checked roster lookup instead.
The examples below are illustrative, not real people, and carry no personal information. Each card names whose work it is, read from its own row: a teacher’s own work, or the work of a student recorded as 18 or older. A student under 18, or one whose age is not recorded, never appears here.
Grade 4 math teacher · a teacher’s own work
the fraction-strip warm-up she shares with her grade team
Grade 5 science teacher · a teacher’s own work
a no-materials density demo, written up for the next teacher who tries it
Grade 4 teacher · a teacher’s own work
the watercolor map of the class garden she painted as the model for the unit
Grade 5 ELA teacher · a teacher’s own work
a recorded read-aloud of a poem he wrote to open the poetry unit
What is built and what is honest-off — plainly
Built and working today: the class roster and per-meeting attendance; a gradebook that rolls up to GPA with printable report cards and transcripts; grade passback from the in-app journalism curriculum; IDEA special-education deadline and service-minute tracking; accessibility and keyboard operation; and the consent gate plus the single-school privacy wall. The free lesson-plan library and Free School Plays are live and free.
Honest-off — present in plan but not enabled for live use: the TEACHER NETWORK (launching, not live — no feed, no posting, no messaging, no member directory; the waitlist is the only live action); family communications (in development); the private translation engine (coming, never called shipped); and all money (no live billing, no subscription, no checkout — the records daily driver settles no money). Free School Music is opening soon, not available yet. We show what works today and name what we do not do yet — and nothing here is legal advice.
FAQ
No — and we will not pretend it is. The network is launching, not live. There is no feed, no posting, no messaging, and no member directory on schoolteacher.network today. What works right now is the classroom daily driver (your roster, attendance, gradebook, and report cards) and the free libraries — plus a waitlist for the network. When the network opens, everyone on the waitlist hears first.
Sign in and run your class. Your roster, per-meeting attendance, a gradebook that rolls up to GPA, and printable report cards and transcripts are built and working. You can lean on the free lesson, play, and script libraries, and the in-app journalism curriculum posts its grades straight back to your gradebook. The network is the one part that is still being built.
educator.center is the resource home — classroom-management techniques, formative-assessment checks, guides, and career tools you read and use. schoolteacher.network is where you do the day’s work: sign in and run your classroom and gradebook, and (soon) connect with other teachers. Two different jobs, cross-linked, not the same page twice.
The classroom daily driver settles no money — the records tier (roster, attendance, gradebook, report cards, transcripts) is free to run. There is no live billing, no subscription, and no checkout here; money is honest-off across the platform today. The free lesson, play, and (soon) music libraries are free as well.
Student data is owned by the school and is never sold to or shared with outside companies. Data about a minor is consent-gated — a family opts in before any disclosure, and consent can be withdrawn at any time — and a minor is never made public, never indexed, and never searchable, with or without recorded consent. That suppression happens at the data source, not as a checkbox on a screen. Minor data runs on our own private systems.
Not the work of a student under 18. This public site admits a person only when they are recorded as an adult: a student under 18, or one whose age is not recorded, is suppressed at the source, with or without the family’s consent, so they never appear in a public showcase, a shared class moment, or anything a search engine could reach. Each card in the showcase on this page names whose work it is, read from its own row. A younger student’s work and name stay inside the school’s signed-in space, where each family’s consent decides who can see them. The example on this page shows it — any illustrative record not recorded as an adult is deliberately absent, and its information is not in this page at all. To show other teachers what worked, share your lesson, your model piece, or the rubric instead.
No. Photos are never sold — a photo is sellable only when permission allows — and facial recognition is a capability we are building and is not turned on today. Finding a child is a permission-checked class-list lookup, not a face match. Face matching runs only for a family that has explicitly opted in, and withdrawing that opt-in stops the matching. Face matching is a capability we are building and is not turned on today — the recognizer is not yet wired: it holds no face-recognition model weights, and no face template is computed from a photo. Photo finding uses a permission-checked roster lookup instead. What is proven end to end is the publication side — a student marked do-not-publish drops out of the digital edition, the reader, and the print run.
Yes, all built. Grades roll up to a GPA, report cards and transcripts print from the real record, and attendance is taken per class meeting with honest totals. Grades from the in-app journalism curriculum post back into it automatically.
Yes. The journalism curriculum teaches on the exact page a student is building — 34 lessons, an administrator-ready standards alignment across 51 states and areas, and grade passback to your gradebook — and it is honest that aligning to a standard is not the same as certifying it. It is cross-linked in the resources above.

It is a for-profit school-software platform — the same one that runs homeroom.software — not a teacher membership group and not a competitor to the places teachers already gather online. It is a tool for running the classroom day, and it is honest about what is built versus what is still coming.
Workflow tips · for the daily driver you already run
This is not a lesson-tips page — that is educator.center’s job, and we cross-link it rather than restate it. These are specific habits for running the parts of schoolteacher.network you already sign in to: when to log an absence, how to set gradebook weights before the first score lands, how grade passback fits into your week, and how an adviser handles an IDEA deadline or a sub day. Sixteen tips across four lanes, each grounded in a capability already marked Built above.
The two things that have to be right before period 1 — who is in the room, and who sorts where.
The roster holds names, seats, and the groups you sort students into — set those groups while you are still learning names, so the sort reflects an early read rather than a habit you never revisited. Re-sorting in week six means redoing the groups from scratch; sorting in week one means they just work.
A couple of taps at the bell beats a reconstruction from memory during your planning period. The present and absent totals stay honest — a null rate on an empty class, never a fabricated 0/0 — but only if you log it while the room is actually in front of you.
Sign in with your district’s single sign-on, or bring the class list by the standard student-information-system import, a day ahead of the first meeting. A sync hiccup then surfaces while you still have time to fix it, not while students are standing at the door.
An absence marked and annotated today is a fact; one you try to annotate from memory next week is a guess. Add the excused-or-unexcused note the moment the office tells you, and the attendance record stays something you would defend to a parent without checking your own memory first.
Habits that keep the rollup honest all term, so report-card week is a print job, not a scramble.
The gradebook rolls categories up to a GPA — decide the weighting for homework, tests, and projects before a single score is in, not after a parent asks why one quiz moved a letter grade more than expected. Changing weights midstream is what makes a report card hard to explain.
Report cards and transcripts generate straight from the real record, so a midterm draft costs you nothing and catches a mis-weighted category or a missing grade while there is still time to fix it — instead of on the night before cards go home.
When a grade surprises a family, look at how the single assignment moved the category average before you answer — the gradebook shows the math, not just the final number. Walking a parent through the one entry that shifted the grade turns a defensive call into a five-minute one.
Because the transcript generates from the running record rather than a retype at term’s end, there is no reason to let a counselor’s request become urgent. Treat a transcript ask as a same-week task and the record is always ready before the deadline is close.
How to hand a lesson to the in-app engine and read the result back in the same gradebook — without a second spreadsheet.
When a student finishes a lesson that runs inside the platform — the journalism curriculum is the built example — the completion and the grade post back to this gradebook automatically. Assign it here rather than tracking a parallel spreadsheet, and you read the result in the place you already grade.
Passback sums the completion and the grade for you; it does not replace your judgment about the work. Reading a handful of the actual submissions behind a passback score, especially early in a unit, catches a rubric mismatch before it repeats across thirty students.
Pull the reading or activity from the free lesson-plan library, then have students complete the matching piece inside the platform so only the passback assignment feeds the gradebook. One system enters the grade instead of two systems you have to reconcile at report-card time.
The passback completion status shows who has not finished while there is still time to follow up. Waiting until the gradebook rolls the category into the GPA turns a five-minute reminder into a grade-change conversation with a family.
The adviser-side workflow — service-minute logging, deadline buffers, sub-day handoffs, and keeping a student’s work off a public showcase.
The IDEA tracker sums minutes against what a plan requires, and the running total is only as good as the day you enter it. Logging the same day keeps the balance accurate; batching a week of minutes from memory is where an entry quietly goes missing.
The tracker flags a due date or a minutes shortfall before it slips — it tracks and flags, it does not author the plan or offer legal advice. Build in a day between the flag and the real deadline so a flagged Friday does not become a missed Friday.
Before a planned absence, walk a substitute or covering adviser through the actual roster and the day’s attendance view rather than a hand-written note. It takes the same few minutes and leaves them with the real class in front of them instead of your memory of it.
On this site, the public gate suppresses anyone under 18, or with no age recorded, at the source, consented or not. Treat your own public posts the same way: celebrate a strong project with the class and the family, and when you want to show other teachers what worked, share your lesson, your model piece, or the rubric instead of the child’s work. It keeps an adviser’s enthusiasm from outrunning a child’s privacy.
These are workflow habits for capabilities already marked Built above — not new features, and not general classroom advice. For lesson tips, guides, and career tools, see educator.center; this hub cross-links it rather than restate it.
