Teacher's Clipboard

Teacher’s clipboard is an app made by a teacher for teachers.

Teachers today have many more responsibilities than just being a voice in the classroom, and “Teacher’s Clipboard” is designed to help teachers manage those tasks so we can get back to the most important role of a teacher...teaching!

Many data tracking systems teachers use today are third-party applications that may not necessarily be within arm’s reach at all times. Classroom management may suffer in order for the teacher to get to their computer and input attendance, grades, or other information. Teachers are then forced to use what they may have available to them, which often times can be a scattered array of post-it notes stuck to any flat surface.

Enter “Teacher’s Clipboard”.

Although this app can be a long-term record keeper, it’s meant more for the brief notation of five daily data points: Attendance, Lesson Plans, Announcements, Expenses, and Grades.You can use “Teacher’s Clipboard” to notate these data points and then enter them into your school’s classroom management program (or even an old-school ledger or binder) at a later time.
