AI agent for secondary school teachers
Substitute Teacher Pack Agent
A complete substitute pack that covers every period and every safety note.
What it does
A teacher is sick at 6 a.m. and a substitute arrives to a note that says, Follow the schedule. This agent reads the class schedule, routines, student needs and planned lessons and builds a day plan. It checks every period is covered, that every safety note is in, such as allergies, medical needs and pickup rules, and fills gaps with simple backup lessons. If a lesson depends on materials that are missing, it replaces it. Edge case: a student has a seizure plan that does not appear on the schedule, so the agent adds it to the top. The teacher approves the pack.
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.
