AI agent for secondary school teachers
Course Pacing Recovery Agent
The teacher has a realistic revised calendar that covers every required standard before the exam date.
What it does
Snow days, assemblies and testing weeks push a course off its calendar, and the end of the year is crammed. The agent reads the course map and the school calendar, recalculates days left per unit, and finds where to compress or merge lessons without dropping required standards. It rechecks the new plan against exam dates and holidays, and reruns whenever another day is lost, so the plan never drifts again. If a unit still does not fit, it says exactly how many days are missing and which lessons could move. It never decides what to cut on its own. The teacher approves the revised calendar. Edge case: a unit that needs a lab day that cannot be shortened, so the agent compresses a different unit.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
