You're not behind on AI.
You're buried in work.

Every AI-for-teachers course tells you to do more. New activities. New assessments. New pedagogy. New ways to catch cheating kids. That is not what you need.

You need the parent emails written. The IEP frameworks drafted. The sub plan generated. The Sunday-night spiral to be 20 minutes instead of 4 hours.

This course is about that.

What this is

Prompt Period teaches K-12 educators how to use Claude (Cowork preferred, plain Claude.ai if your district blocks it) to handle the writing, planning, and documentation you're already doing every week. We treat FERPA like it actually matters. You'll set up an “AI Workspace” sandbox, learn what NEVER goes in, and get your nights and weekends back.

No prompts to memorize. No new student-facing tools. Just your real job, faster.

The hill we will die on

The AI course that takes FERPA seriously.

Most “AI for teachers” courses cheerfully tell you to upload your IEPs. We don't. The first thing we teach is the Never List: what NEVER goes into AI, no matter how time-saving it would be. Then we teach the AI Workspace sandbox pattern so AI only sees what you deliberately put in front of it. Never your whole drive. Never your gradebook. Never a student name.

Never paste, upload, or connect
Instead, describe it like this
Student first or last names
“A 3rd grade student”
IEP / BIP / 504 documents
A 3-sentence summary of the support context
Gradebook exports
Aggregate trends in your own words
Real parent contact info
“A parent worried about reading progress”
Anything from PowerSchool / IC / SpEd system
A description of the pattern, not the data

0460 min

Skills + memory

Stop re-explaining yourself. Teach AI your voice, your grade, your context, once.

0660 min

Planning workflows

Lessons, differentiation, rubrics, agendas, master schedule fixes.

0760 min

Documentation workflows

IEP/BIP/504 frameworks (never the real doc), MTSS notes, incident reports.

FERPA + district policy + your final build

The privacy module that doesn't suck. Plus your finished AI Workspace.

Is this for you?

Sign me up if

  • You're a K-12 teacher, coach, or admin
  • You've tried ChatGPT once and bounced because it was too much / too generic
  • You're tired of "AI in education" content that's all hype, no Tuesday
  • You're cautious about student data and want clear rules
  • You want to use AI on what you're already doing, not on top of it

Skip this if

  • You want 50 prompts in a Notion doc (this isn't that)
  • You're building AI lessons for students (different course, maybe later)
  • You believe AI will replace teachers (we strongly disagree)
  • You want a compliance-CYA certificate to wave at admin (this isn't that either)

still mad about PD

I'm a former K-12 teacher and school leader. Now co-founder of Symplifyed, an MTSS and behavior platform built for the teachers we used to be.

I've spent the last 10 years inside school buildings, doing the writing, the planning, the documentation, the IEP meetings, the 9pm parent emails. I built this course because I've watched too many good teachers leave the profession because of the paperwork pile, not the kids.

I have an 8-year-old, a stack of half-finished books, and a strong opinion about AI in schools: it should support the human work, not replace it,and it should never see your students' names.

Questions teachers actually ask.

Do I need to use Cowork? My district blocks new apps.

No. The course teaches both Cowork (preferred) and Claude.ai (works on any browser). Same workflows, different mechanism.

Is this FERPA-compliant?

The course teaches FERPA-aligned practices. It teaches you to NEVER put student data into AI in the first place. That's the safest possible posture, and we walk through it in detail.

How long until I'm done?

~6 hours of video, plus the activities. Most teachers finish in 2-3 weeks doing one module per night.

What if my admin asks why I'm using AI?

Module 8 includes scripts for talking to admin, district IT, and parents about your AI use. You'll come out with a defensible position.

Refunds?

14 days. If module 3 hasn't saved you 5 hours, you get your money back. Email me.

Does this work for admins, not just teachers?

Yes. Modules 5-7 include admin-specific workflows (observations, evaluations, board reports, MTSS notes, master schedule).

Will you keep updating it?

Yes. AI changes fast. You get all updates free for life.

Why $149?

It's stipend territory. Most districts will reimburse it. If yours won't, email me and we'll work something out.

Last bell
