Every week, a whole day disappears into paperwork. We give it back.

40% of Norwegian teachers are burntout from work other than teaching.

The modern educator exists in a paradox of filing paperwork and participation in meetings. Time is stolen from teaching and engaging with students in the classroom. 4 in 10 Norwegian primary‑school teachers feel emotionally exhausted. This stress is transferred to every student, impacting the quality of education.

“Four in ten Norwegian primary-school teachers report that they feel emotionally exhausted.” — SINTEF/UNIO study, 2023.

Top performing students and remarkable teachers, all start with great leaders. Leaders who support their teachers by enabling them with motivation and granting access to the best tools. Then schools will thrive.

The Hidden Cost of Time Theft

Time Theft

Each administrative demand, documentation requirement, and fragmented IT system steals time and resources that should be directed toward human connection and knowledge transfer inside of classrooms and outside in the schoolyard. Teachers are required to perform tasks that are not only time-consuming but also drain their energy and focus. This is inefficient and actively undermines the philosophical purpose of education itself.

Energy Drain

From the growing needs of distracting tasks outside of the classroom, energy is focused away from student engagement.

Student Impact

Student engagement is diminished, leading to lower performance and a less memorable educational experience.

What if we gave teachers back 7 hours weekly?

We will help teachers reclaim 7 hours every week from their schedules. We believe in how technology can support the relationship between educator and student. Alongside teachers as a thinking partners, we create tools that spark curiosity, support communications, and build frameworks that preserve human judgment.

We believe in the creative human potential of teachers, instead of being stuck in the loop of administrative tasks. We create tools that preserve the irreplaceable human elements of teaching while eliminating the tasks that take away from the creative energy of teachers.

Here is how we give teachers back 7 hours every week

We believe that technology will help teachers manage the daily tasks of teaching, but only if it is used to support the relationship between educator and student.
