From intake to lesson in the classroom

This is how it goes, step by step.

1. 0. Once: you and your classes

   Which subjects you teach, how you teach, which teaching activities you like to use and which you would rather skip. And for each class: the level, where the group is and what they are stuck on. You fill that in once. From then on, every lesson for you and your class starts with knowledge about you and about your class, instead of with a blank screen.

   This is the difference from a chatbot. There you type all over again, every time, who you are, what you teach and how you work, and every time you notice halfway through that you forgot something, or that it was taken slightly differently from what you meant. Here it is already in place, and it grows along: what your class has covered and what you are working towards get added without you having to say it again.

2. 1. Say what your class needs

   The topic and how much time you have. Your subject, the level and where the group is, GoYou already knows. You type one sentence, GoYou asks the follow-up questions. Not sure yet exactly what you want to achieve? Then GoYou helps you put a sharp lesson goal into words: achievable, and at the level of thinking that suits your class.

3. 2. Choose from two lesson outlines

   GoYou works out two different outlines for you. You pick one, change what you want and add your comments or points to improve. Those go with it into the build.

   The teaching activities in those outlines do not come from a language model but from our own library: more than a hundred and fifty teaching activities, written and edited by educational developers who spent years in front of a class. That is why you get a lesson that works towards something, and not a set of questions about a text.

4. 3. GoYou builds the whole lesson

   Presentation, instruction, practice work and the tutor. Tailored to every student: by level, by interest, and with what happened in earlier lessons. GoYou knows where your class is and what each student showed before.

   The tutor gets its brief from you as well. You decide what it may talk about, how strict it is and when it passes a question to you instead of back to the student. It works inside your lesson, not next to it.

5. 4. You approve and teach the lesson

   Tweak it, throw out what is wrong, add what is missing. Your lesson, your name on it.

What this is for

Do what you are good at.

GoYou does not replace you. It solves what you cannot do on your own: you cannot split yourself in two.

As a teacher you have twenty-six students and only one of you. You want every student to get help the moment it goes wrong, and that is exactly the moment you are standing with someone else. That is what the tutor is for. Meanwhile you do what a machine cannot: lead the discussion, set the atmosphere, see what is happening in the class and decide what is needed.

That division of tasks is no accident. Research keeps showing the same picture: within a school, the teacher is the factor that makes the biggest difference to what students learn, and the differences between teachers are larger than those between schools. So we build nothing that replaces that teacher. We build the tools that leave a teacher more time for teaching.
