The Back-to-School Skill Library

Leave the meetings with your year built.

Installable AI workflows with teacher-facing guides, defined outputs, and classroom safeguards - not another folder of generic prompts.

What arrives each month

Enough to change your workload. Not enough to become another pile.

Each release is organized around one real classroom problem, so you can install the workflow, see it modeled, and use it before the next pack arrives.

02

Installable teacher skills

Two connected workflows aimed at the same classroom season or problem.

01

Classroom-ready resource

An editable lesson, template, checklist, or student-facing tool that works with the skills.

15 min

Implementation lesson

A short walkthrough, worked example, and privacy or quality-control check.

01

Member challenge

One small build to complete so the library becomes part of a working system.

Classroom preview

SYNTAXIA: Solve the Story

Assign the language skill your students need. They choose mystery, science fiction, horror, fantasy, adventure, or dystopian challenges while their progress uncovers the story.

Teachers create classes and assign targets. Students join with a class code and display name—no student email account required. Syntaxia is currently in teacher pilot testing.

How access works

  • Joining for one month does not unlock the complete archive.
  • Members can use the Starter Pack and current release immediately.
  • Each active month adds that month's curated pack to the member's earned library.
  • Canceling ends portal access after the paid period; downloaded files cannot be technically recalled.
  • All 15 current skills are also available as separate purchases with immediate secure delivery.

Secure checkout is provided by Stripe. Membership renews automatically until canceled. Your Starter Pack appears immediately after checkout, and a backup download link is sent by email.
