Teacher coaching dashboard

# Teacher coaching dashboard

Coach teachers in the product the way Brian has coached pilot teachers over zoom and email — surface guidance on how to use Yawp well, in context.

## Problem

Reported 2026-02-12: Yawp could help mediocre teachers be better, not just empower good ones. Today, the coaching that happens between Brian and pilot teachers (about how to set up assignments, what good rubrics look like, how to interpret GA output) is happening 1:1, doesn't scale, and is invisible to anyone not directly in those calls.

If pilot scaling works, a lot of new teachers will land in Yawp without that personal onboarding. They need the coaching too.

## Goals (rough)

- Suggested defaults for new teachers (rubric, prompts, daily-pages cadence).
- Contextual nudges: "students in your class are submitting essays under 200 words on average — consider raising the minimum word count?"
- A small library of "Yawp pedagogy" tips, surfaced in-product.

## Non-goals

- Mandatory teacher training to use the product. Optional, helpful, dismissible.
- Replacing direct support. This complements, doesn't replace, real human coaching.

## Open questions

- [ ] What's the actual content? Probably needs to be authored carefully — wrong tone makes teachers feel patronized.
- [ ] Surface placement — onboarding flow, dashboard sidebar, modal nudges?
- [ ] How is "good Yawp use" measured? Engagement metrics, student outcomes, or just teacher self-report?

## Engineering handoff

Not ready. Idea-stage. Needs significant content design work before engineering matters.
