the moments

Coming Soon

Classroom Reps is an AI-powered practice and support platform in development to help teachers navigate the human side of teaching, with opportunities to rehearse challenging interactions, reflect on their decisions, and try again.


Because knowing a strategy and using it in the moment can feel very different

A student refuses to participate.

A classroom interaction takes an unexpected turn.

A parent conversation becomes tense.

These moments call for judgment, communication, and care.

Classroom Reps is being built to give educators space to practice their responses and explore different approaches before facing similar situations in a real classroom.

Who it's for

Designed especially for:

aspiring teachers, educators in their first years in the classroom, and those simply wanting additional support with the

relational parts of teaching.

What we're building

  • Realistic practice with room to try again

  • Research informed coaching that strengthens your judgment

  • Support from people who understand the work

  • Teacher Consulting Hours with experienced educators

created by an educator who understands the work

Classroom Reps was created by Dr. Joi Howard, a former public high school Spanish teacher with nine years in the classroom, nearly a decade in instructional design and educational technology, and a doctorate in Instructional Systems Technology.

Her vision: give teachers meaningful opportunities to practice, reflect, and grow in the human interactions at the heart of teaching.

HELP SHAPE WHAT COMES NEXT!

An early working prototype has been developed, with educator testing and further development ahead.
