too many teachers with not enough time - scribo fixes that

Save time, TEACH MORE - connect to students

All English and humanities teachers agree that to teach more, they need less work that is not teaching; like simple GPS (Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling) correction. 

Grading and feedback are two time consuming tasks for every English and humanities teacher.

  • Over 80% of teachers want to spend more time teaching. 80% do not have the time.
  • Research says personalised feedback and guidance make a big difference to student writing success.
  • Student feedback needs to instruct students on next steps, rather than simple corrections. This feedback requires even more time and personalisation.

Scribo gives teachers more time and better information;  students more ownership in writing.

Scribo manages the writing improvement cycle and connection between teacher and student:

  1. Teachers connect class based writing tasks to Scribo for feedback, oversight and monitoring.
  2. Scribo monitors student progress and awards a Scribo Score. Students at risk are instanty visible.
  3. Scribo delivers instant, human quality feedback to students as they write, saving teacher  time for cognitive hig level feedback rather than red-pen corrections.
  4. Grading is automatic, explained and transparently delivered to students.
  5. Teachers and students share the same level of detailed feedback.
  6. Teachers can add feedback via text or voice. Feedback will never be lost again.
  7. Additional processes like Peer Review, Rubric Grading and Data Analysis are all catered for as needed

writing practice drives writing success

To improve writing, students need to write more. Without some extra support,  the flow on effects of more practice, mean more work.

  1. More student writing needs more teacher feedback.
  2. More feedback means more teacher time.
  3. Teachers don’t have more time for more feedback.

The write-feedback-improvement cycle needs to change gears from the familiar story of overworked teachers and underperforming students to a more positive and progressive storyline.
