Spend less time on admin.
More time teaching.
A local AI assistant that helps teachers plan lessons, write reports, and communicate with parents - without sending student data anywhere.
The reality
Teachers spend an average of 10-12 hours per week on administrative tasks outside the classroom. Lesson planning, grading, writing progress reports, drafting parent emails - it all adds up. Most of this work is repetitive, but it still demands attention, consistency, and professional language.
Cloud-based AI tools raise real concerns about student data privacy. Pasting student names, grades, or behavioural notes into ChatGPT means that data leaves your device and may be stored on external servers. That creates compliance headaches and potential risks.
How Skales helps teachers
From lesson planning to progress reports - all on your machine, all private.
Lesson plans in minutes
Describe your topic, grade level, and learning objectives. Skales drafts a full lesson plan with activities, discussion questions, and assessment ideas. Edit and save locally.
Progress reports without the grind
Give Skales a few notes about a student and it drafts a complete, personalized progress report. Adjust tone, length, and focus. Your words, your phrasing, done faster.
Parent email templates
Draft parent emails for behaviour concerns, achievements, or upcoming events. Skales matches your tone and keeps it professional. You review and send - nothing is sent automatically.
Differentiated instruction
Ask Skales to rewrite a reading passage at three different reading levels, or generate extension tasks for advanced learners and simplified versions for those who need support.
Quiz and worksheet generation
Generate multiple-choice questions, short-answer prompts, or fill-in-the-blank exercises from any topic or text. Export as plain text and paste into your favourite word processor.
Student data stays local
Student names, grades, and notes never leave your computer. No cloud sync, no third-party data processing agreements to worry about. FERPA and GDPR friendly by design.
