Plan, Grade, Write. Follow a Caseload.

Plan the course, grade the stack, and draft every letter from one class you enter once; counselors follow a caseload they were invited into.

Your first run of every tool is on us. The Pro Membership runs every tool as often as your classes need, $39/mo.

No Committee Required

One Educator Is Enough.

EduFinder asks nothing of your district: one teacher or one counselor opens an account and is working the same evening. Every role gets an account of its own, and none of them is a seat inside somebody else's.

Check Before You Trust

Built by Jiin Baek (Ryan) with a small team of educators who have taught at US boarding schools, UK public schools, and Korean international schools. See the work before you sign in:

Inside the Teacher Hub

Plan It, Grade It, Write Its Letters, from One Class.

Enter a class once (a name and a roster) and all three tools share it. Follow Ms. Carla Jiménez and the AP Biology class from our sample curriculum through four chapters of a school year, as planning hands off to grading and grading to letters.

Chapter 1 · Day One

Enter Your Class Once. Everything Plugs into It.

Before any tool runs, keep a class: a name and a roster. It is the spine the next three chapters hang from.

Carla keeps one card for AP Biology · Period 3: the roster plus running counts of curricula, grading jobs, and letters. The Planner links its curriculum to it, the Studio copies its roster onto new grading jobs, and the Desk starts letters from its students, so nothing is entered twice. Above the cards, the hub opens on one thing for this week and a "Needs You" list of what is actually waiting. Beside "Needs You" sits Ask Leonardo, which opens a side drawer where you can ask Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, in plain words. At the foot of the hub, Your Calendar hands you one link to paste into the calendar you already keep.

Chapter 2 · Before the Term

Start August from a Complete Draft, Not a Blank Page.

Before the first bell: a short intake returns a full-year draft that stays yours to shape.

Carla's intake came back as a full AP Biology draft: units and lessons, a week-by-week pacing calendar, and an assessment plan with every exam marked "AI-Resistant by Design," anchored to AP standards. Every week carries a "Draft Daily Plans" button that turns it into one timed plan per class meeting, so she expands only the week she is about to teach. Each assessment ends in one button into The Rubric! Studio, with her roster carried along, and once she has graded one of them, a finished Class Insight Brief offers Add to Next Week's Plan and Re-Plan Week N.

How the Syllabus! Planner Works
Chapter 3 · During the Term

Grade the Whole Class without Losing the Weekend.

All term long: drop in one class stack, or collect typed work online, and review drafted scores instead of starting from zero, with one tick putting the shakiest first.

Carla dropped the whole set in as one class stack: the studio sorted the pages by student, and nothing was graded until she pressed Confirm Groups. Leonardo then drafted a score and a one-line rationale for every criterion, and one tick of Sort by Confidence put the shakiest papers first. She overrode one score and the studio recorded her call, not Leonardo's draft. Four of the twenty-two came back flagged and she read those first, then the rows with a medium pill, Jordan's among them, and Accept All High-Confidence took the rest in one click. With half the class finalized, a Class Insight Brief named the shared misconceptions without naming a single student. For the take-home essay she skipped the scanner and collected typed answers through private per-student links; nothing reached a student until she released it.

How the Rubric! Studio Works
Chapter 4 · End of Term

Write the Letter Only You Could Have Written.

Recommendation season stacks twenty letters on one free period; one board works the whole season and a guided interview keeps every word grounded in what you actually saw.

Leonardo drafted Jordan's letter from Carla's own interview answers (the spectrophotometer morning), and "From your answers" chips cite which answers each evidence paragraph used. Leonardo's read then grades the draft (Specificity: Strong; Distinctiveness: Developing), and stock phrases like "team player" get flagged. Carla edits, signs, and owns every word. When the requests pile up, a season board tracks each one, a private link lets each student submit their own brag sheet, and Draft All Ready queues a draft for every request whose materials are in, up to twenty-five in one click. Nothing is emailed and nothing is marked sent for her. Counselors run the same board on their own desk.

How the Letter! Desk Works

June: planned, graded, and signed, a class and a season at a time, with your name on all of it.

Ms. Carla Jiménez and Jordan Vega are fictional; the class, scores, and letter shown are illustrative.

For School Counselors

A Caseload You Were Invited Into.

Counselors get a complete hub of their own: a board for the students who choose to let you follow along, and The Counsel! Desk for the two documents only the counseling office writes. Nothing about a student reaches you until that student says yes.

Three Steps, and the Student Owns the Middle One.

No roster upload, no directory sync, no school-wide switch: a caseload is built one invitation at a time.

  1. You Invite by Email.

    Type a student's email address on your caseload board and EduFinder sends them the request. Until they answer, the row holds an address and nothing else.

  2. They Sign In and Decide.

    The student answers from a free EduFinder account of their own, reads the exact list below on the way in, and picks Confirm or Decline. A decline is respected: the same address cannot be invited again for a month.

  3. Their Matches, Course Plan, and Application Tracking Appear on Your Board.

    Once confirmed, the row fills in with their school matches, their AP or IB course plan, and the deadlines and statuses they track beside each school, so the next meeting starts from where they actually are. They can stop sharing at any time, and each addition to what a link shares needs its own approval from that student.

One Invitation, Two Screens.

One Thursday evening, one caseload row, two screens. Everything that reaches Ms. Whitfield is what Jordan agreed to show: his generated school matches, his course plan, and his application tracking. Never an answer, never his reasoning.

Jordan's Team Page · Thursday, 7:12 PM

His call, and his to reverse. He can stop sharing whenever he likes, and the row goes empty again.

Ms. Whitfield's Caseload Board · The Same Thursday

School names, dates, counts, each school's saved description and published figures, the plan he chose to show, and the tracking he typed beside each school. Nothing else.

Ms. Simone Whitfield is a fictional counselor at Jordan Vega's school, and Jordan is the same fictional student as the tour above; the schools, dates, and counts shown are illustrative.

Exactly What a Confirmed Invite Shows You.

The invite email, the student's confirm page, and your caseload board all render this one list from a single file, so no surface can quietly promise more or less. One new invitation covers three things, and this is all of it:

  • Whether they have generated school matches yet, and how many of the Find Schools survey's questions they have answered (a count only; never an answer)
  • The school names on the school matches they generated with Find Schools on their Roster board, and the date they were generated
  • The one line description saved with each of those schools
  • The fit and affordability facts saved with each of those schools: net price, graduation rate, acceptance rate, SAT range, ACT range, median earnings, and median debt
  • Whether they have generated a Resolve course plan yet, and how many of the planner's questions they have answered (a count only; never an answer)
  • Their full generated course plan, exactly as their own plan page shows it: the recommended AP courses or IB subjects with their alternates and levels, the strategy summary, each recommendation's fit, readiness, and workload reasoning, the risk flags, the counselor checklist and counselor script, and the date it was generated
  • The student snapshot saved inside that plan: their intended major, grade, school name, and the transcript, target college, and workload context they gave the planner
  • Whether they have started a college list on their Roster board, and how many schools are on it (a count only)
  • The school names on that list and, for each school, the application platform, every application round and deadline they have entered and which round they plan to use, and the application status they have set
  • The application checklist they keep for each school on that list, and the decision release date and deposit deadline they have entered for each

Nothing else: not their answers to the Find Schools survey, not their answers to the planner's questions beyond the count and the plan itself, not the fit paragraphs or AI reasoning behind their matches, not their saved profile, not their essays, chance reports, reach/target/safety buckets, notes, or AI suggestions on their Roster board, and nothing from their SAT practice, their Pursuit activity roadmap, their Aid playbook, or any other EduFinder work.

A Caseload That Opens on Who Needs You.

Forty confirmed students used to be forty cards to scroll. The board now opens on a queue that names who needs something today and why.

The Needs Attention Queue.

Who needs something today, and why.

The queue heads the board and says why each student is on it: a course plan waiting for your review, a deadline close with nothing submitted, no school matches after days of sharing, or a sharing request still unanswered.

Review the Next Plan jumps straight to the first course plan waiting on you, and Ask Leonardo sits beside it at the head of the queue: Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, reads the same rows, so you can ask what to do about it in plain words.

The queue is the board's own rows, ordered. Nothing in it is a new fact about a student.

Controls That Reach the Whole Board.

One paste, one approved pass.

Invite Several Students turns a pasted class list into invitations and reports every line it could not read. Remind Everyone Behind drafts the whole pass first and sends only the reminders you approve.

Ask Everyone Not Yet Asked puts the application-tracking question to every student not yet asked: a third, separate yes each student answers for themselves, and a no is final for that link.

A reminder never opens a student's work, and asking is not access.

Every Confirmed Row Opens Work That Is Yours.

Notes you write, a transcript you already hold, a sign-off you record, and two ways to take one student's standing off the screen, none of which widens what their link shares.

What You Keep about a Student.

Private to you, and erased when the link ends.

Open Notes gives every confirmed row private notes and a meeting log, and Sort This Note files a pasted scribble into a summary and next steps, storing nothing until you save.

Transcript Audit reads a transcript you already hold, once, against the Graduation Requirements you set on your own desk, and keeps only what it read. The file itself is never stored, and both the notes and the audit are erased when the link ends, along with anything Leonardo has already told you about a student while reading their records through their link. Anything else in your conversation with Leonardo is erased when you press Start Over or 30 days after it was written, whichever comes first.

What You Record, and What You Send.

Your verdict, your packet, your two addresses.

Review Full Plan opens the shared course plan, and Draft My Sign-Off suggests a verdict and a comment per course without overwriting a call you already made. Nothing is recorded until you press Record Decision.

Student Packet prints what the row already shows, in your own browser, your notes and the audit included only if you tick a box. Email a Summary goes only to your own address or the student's on the link.

The decision, the packet, and the email each wait on your own click, and nothing is shared that a student did not agree to.

The Counsel! Desk.

Two documents an admissions reader expects from the counseling office, and nobody else in the building can write for you.

The Counselor Recommendation.

A guided interview, in your own voice.

The interview asks for what only you know: the context behind the transcript, the moment that changed how you read this student, what an admissions reader would misjudge without you. Paste a past letter of yours, names removed, and the draft reads like your office.

Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, writes the draft. You cut, rewrite, and sign. Every word that goes out under your name is yours.

The School Profile.

The page that travels with every transcript.

Ten factual questions about your school become the one or two page profile an admissions office reads beside each transcript: your curriculum model, your grading scale, whether you rank, and the community context that keeps a record from being misread.

It is a school document, not a student one. No student is named in it, every figure traces back to an answer you wrote, and you can regenerate it when the school year changes it.

Three Guides for the Other Side of the Desk.

Written for the people who send the paperwork. Free to read, no account needed.

The first run of each document is on us, and after that the same Pro Membership covers every tool on this page. A counselor who also teaches keeps one account for the classroom tools and the caseload board alike.

On Both Hubs

Leonardo, a Calendar, and One Email on Monday.

Three things both hubs carry, none acting without your approval, and one change to the work you sign.

Your calendar and your weekly brief come with the account, five messages a week with Leonardo are on us, and the rest is part of one Pro Membership. Nothing here emails anyone, releases a grade, or records a decision without your own click, or shares anything a student did not agree to.

Student Work Stays in Your Workspace.

Privacy & FERPA, in plain terms.

Scans, interview answers, and drafts stay private in your account. They are never used to train models, ours or an AI provider's, and they are deleted when you delete your account.

Every educator tool is FERPA-aware and operates under your institution's direction. You remain the decision-maker on every grade and every word that goes out under your name.

A caseload adds a second gate on top of that one: nothing about a student reaches a counselor until that student says yes, and the moment they take it back the row is empty again.

Fair Questions, Straight Answers.

What we would want to know before trusting a tool with a classroom or a caseload.

How Much Do the Educator Tools Cost?

Nothing to start: creating an account is free, your classes, rosters, notes and the letter season board cost nothing to keep, and the first run of every tool is on us, once each for the life of your account: a curriculum in The Syllabus! Planner, a grading job of up to ten students and its comment pass in The Rubric! Studio, a letter in The Letter! Desk, and a School Profile, a transcript audit and a sign-off draft on the counselor side, plus five messages a week with Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, on both hubs. One Pro Membership at $39 per month (USD) runs every tool as often as your classes need: as many curricula as you plan, no per-page charge in The Rubric! Studio, as many letters as you draft, both Counsel! Desk documents again, whole-class grading from a single class stack, the Class Insight Brief and the week re-plan it feeds, Score by Hand, Draft All Ready across a letter season, and Leonardo every day. It is one price, the same for a teacher, a counselor, a student, or a parent. The caseload board is part of Your Team, so invitations, consent answers, private messages, every student who confirms, the Needs Attention queue, the Student Packet, Your Calendar, and Your Weekly Brief need no membership. Gradebook downloads are free too, everything you already made stays yours to read, export, and print, and a student answering your assignment or brag-sheet link never pays.

Do I Need My School's Approval or an Institutional Account?

No. There is no institutional account, no waitlist, no application, and no procurement cycle: any EduFinder account works, and one teacher or one counselor can start alone, tonight, with no IT ticket and no district pilot. There is also no roster upload and no directory sync. You type or paste your own class roster, a caseload grows only as students answer your invitations with a yes, and the tools operate under your institution's direction with you as the decision-maker, so your school's student-data policies apply exactly as they always have.

Can I Publish and Share What I Make?

Yes. What EduFinder makes for your account is yours, for any lawful purpose: publish your school profile and give every counselor the same copy, share a curriculum or rubric with your department, and send letters under your own name. Our Terms of Service say so in plain words, with examples, under What You Make Is Yours.

Does the AI Replace My Judgment?

No. The Rubric! Studio drafts a score and a rationale for each criterion, and you decide the final grade. The Syllabus! Planner hands you a draft to customize, not a mandate. The Letter! Desk and The Counsel! Desk draft only from your own interview answers, and you review and own every word that goes out under your name. The four controls that reach many things at once each stop one step short of acting: Accept All High-Confidence finalizes only the rows you took and leaves every one of them open to change afterwards, Draft All Ready writes drafts and emails nobody and marks nothing sent, Draft My Sign-Off fills only the courses you left blank and records nothing until you press Record Decision, and Leonardo, EduFinder's AI, turns every suggestion into a card that does nothing until you approve it.

Is My Students' Work Safe? What about FERPA?

Student work and anything you write about a student stay private in your account, are never used to train models, ours or an AI provider's, and are deleted when you delete your account. Every educator tool is FERPA-aware and operates under your institution's direction. On the counselor side there is a second gate: nothing about a student reaches your caseload board until that student answers your invitation with a yes.

Do the Three Classroom Tools Work Together?

Yes. Keep a class in your account (a name and a roster) and all three share it: The Syllabus! Planner links its curriculum to the class, The Rubric! Studio copies its roster onto a new grading job instead of pasting names, and The Letter! Desk starts a letter from one of its students pre-filled, with the work you graded and your dated notes offered as evidence. Every assessment in a curriculum also builds into a grading job with one click, scan-gradable written work as questions plus a rubric scored from scans and live-graded work as a task brief plus a rubric scored by hand, and when that curriculum is linked to one of your classes the handoff carries the roster with it, so the job opens with a row per student already there. Once half of that class is finalized, the grading job loops back the other way: under a finished Class Insight Brief, Add to Next Week's Plan drops the reteach mini lesson into the curriculum and Re-Plan Week N rebuilds that week around it. Every job links back. Each tool still works on its own; the class just enters the course, roster, and student once.

Can the Syllabus! Planner Plan Individual Class Days?

Yes. Every week in the pacing calendar has a Draft Daily Plans button that expands that week into one plan per class meeting, each with a timed agenda, an objective, the materials to have on hand, and any homework. Draft only the weeks you are about to teach, and redraft any week whenever the plan changes. A week can also be re-planned from the other end: under a finished Class Insight Brief in The Rubric! Studio, Re-Plan Week N rebuilds that week around what the class actually missed. A re-plan replaces the daily plans that week already shows, and nothing is re-planned unless you press the button.

Can It Grade a Whole Class at Once?

Yes. Drop the whole set in as one class stack, a single PDF or a pile of photos, and the studio groups the pages by student. Nothing is graded until you press Confirm Groups. It then drafts a score and a rationale for every criterion, lets you tick Sort by Confidence so the least certain papers come first, rescores whatever you have not reviewed yet against your own first three finalized answers whenever you ask and never changes a score you already recorded, and lets you accept the confident ones sixty rows at a time. You can refresh the comments whose scores moved, release grades to the students who submitted online with an account, download a Google Classroom Sheet or a Generic Gradebook CSV, and read a Class Insight Brief once half the class is finalized. Work no scanner can read is scored by hand in the same table, one blank row per student, with no student work stored. Every recorded grade is still the one you decided.

Can I See an Example Before I Sign In?

Yes. The Syllabus! Planner has a full sample curriculum, The Rubric! Studio has a full sample grading job, and The Letter! Desk has a full sample letter, all viewable with no signup.

I Am a Counselor, Not a Classroom Teacher. Does This Fit Me?

Yes. Counselors get their own hub: a caseload board for the students who invite you in, plus The Counsel! Desk for counselor recommendations and the School Profile that travels with every transcript. It is the home screen for an account that declares Counselor, and every hub stays reachable by URL from any account, so a counselor who also teaches works from one login.

What Do I See about a Student on My Caseload?

Only what that student confirms, and only after they confirm it. A new invitation covers three things at once. From Find Schools on The Roster! Board: the school names on the matches they generated, when they generated them, the short description saved beside each school, and the published cost and outcome figures saved with it. From The Resolve! Planner: their AP or IB course plan itself, the same page they read. From the college list on that same Roster board: the schools on it, and beside each one the application platform, the rounds and deadlines they entered and the round they mean to use, the status they set, their own application checklist, and the decision and deposit dates. Answered questions always arrive as a count, never as an answer. Each addition was its own separate yes, so a link keeps sharing exactly what its student agreed to: one confirmed before course plans joined shares the matches alone, one confirmed before application tracking joined shares the matches and the plan, and a decline of either addition is final for the link. Their essays, chance reports, buckets, notes, and AI suggestions on that board stay private, and so does everything in their SAT practice, their Pursuit roadmap, and their Aid playbook. They can stop sharing at any time.

What Does The Counsel! Desk Write?

Two documents only the counseling office writes, plus the board that works the season around them. The counselor recommendation is drafted from a guided interview, in your voice and from your answers, and you cut, rewrite, and sign it. The School Profile is a school level document that never names a student: your curriculum model, your grading scale, whether you rank, the courses actually on your schedule, and the context that keeps a transcript from being misread. The Desk now hosts your letter season itself, the same board a teacher works from: every request in one place, Draft All Ready across the ones whose materials are in, and Remind Everyone Missing Materials, which drafts the whole pass and sends only the reminders you approve. The student intake on a counselor-authored request is called the Senior Questionnaire, because the questions a counseling office asks are not the ones a subject teacher asks; a teacher's own request still says brag sheet. The Desk is not the three classroom tools. A counselor who also teaches opens those from the same account. Nothing here emails anyone, releases a grade, or records a decision without your own click, and nothing is shared that a student did not agree to.

Can a Student's Parent See What I Record?

Only the decision you record on a course plan, and only when that student has both widened your link to their plan and confirmed a family link with that parent. In that one case the parent sees your email address, your Approve or Reject call on each recommended course, your comments and overall note, and the date you recorded it. That is the only place the two links touch. You never see anything through a family link, a parent never sees your caseload board, and nothing else crosses between them.

What Is Leonardo, and What Does It Do without Asking Me?

Leonardo is EduFinder's AI. It opens in a side drawer on both hubs. It also writes the first drafts inside the tools (a letter, a curriculum, a School Profile, a score for each answer), and each draft is yours to change. When you ask it something, it reads only what your account already shows and proposes actions you approve. It never sees what a student says to Leonardo on their own account. It answers by citing what it read and turns any suggestion into a card that does nothing until you press approve. A reminder suggestion lists exactly who would be emailed before a second click sends it; a suggestion to ask students to share their application tracking emails them as soon as you approve it. Beside it, Your Calendar gives each hub one link to paste into the calendar you already keep, and Your Weekly Brief arrives on Monday saying what needs you that week and stays quiet when nothing does. Nothing in any of the three emails anyone, releases a grade, or records a decision without your own click.

Ready when you are. Your account, your classes and the first run of every tool are free, one Pro Membership at $39 per month (USD) runs every tool on this page as often as your classes need, and the counselor hub opens from that same login.
