We know you and your team are using a lot of different tools and applications to support students. But most teams are still relying on hacking together office tools to support themselves.

TARA's School HQ replaces the need for Google docs/folders, emailing about tasks, spreadsheets of resources, and manually made calendars with standards typed in.

School HQ also eliminates the need for niche tools like SchoolMint Grow, Trello, Chalk and Canvas. With TARA, you can solve 3 pain points with a single platform.

Of course! TARA was designed to be customized for each and every school that uses it.

Here are a few of the things you can customize without needing any help from our team (although we are here to help if you want!):
- Teacher groups
- Lesson plan templates
- Lesson internalization protocols
- Observation templates
- Meeting templates
- Instructional strategies in the Resource Bank
- Shortcuts to apps & websites for your teacher groups

TARA can also have your own custom evaluation rubric for teachers that our team helps to set for you during onboarding.

Yep! Users can sign in using their Google account. We are also finishing up SSO with Clever.

Additional single sign-on options are included free for network and district partners with different SSO needs.

We've scoured the internet for the best, free resources - links to hundreds of graphic organizers, worksheets, engagement & differentiation strategies, standards info, instructional practices - and we've organized in a way that teachers find intuitive and easy so they don't have to go searching Google or social media. The best part - you and your team can add to the library at any time and simultaneously build your school's instructional memory over the long term.

Yep! We have several partners who work with external curriculum providers. Any user can import external files into TARA as long as they are in .doc/.pdf/.ppt format and under 20MB. Once in TARA, users can view the lesson, add internalization notes, receive comments, and schedule the lesson out just as if they had created from scratch in the system itself.

Under our Premium plan, our team takes care of the importing process and can even schedule out the lessons and pre-load them for your teachers before pre-planning even begins! Imagine your teachers opening TARA and seeing the entire semester of lessons scheduled, easily accessible, and able to be adapted as they progress with their students...all in one place!

Yes! TARA makes tracking observations and meetings with teachers super easy and streamlined in one place. Under our Pro and Premium plans, we can customize the rubric for you (and even adjust it throughout the year) so that observation feature can now serve as an evaluation feature as well. TARA automatically tracks and averages all observation and evaluation data entered so you can quickly see how you things are going by individual, department/school, or even across multiple schools!

Absolutely - given the amount of centralized resources, curriculum, and teacher tools, TARA is the perfect assistant for teachers in training.

Many new teachers struggle because of two things - classroom management and time management. TARA comes with links to best practices on managing student behavior, while giving new teachers hundreds of templates, problem sets, and engagement strategies to stop them from reinventing the wheel every night.

Under our Pro and Premium plans, we can customize the resources teachers get loaded into their Resource Bank as well, allowing you to reinforce best practices and curriculum adoption according to your school or organization's methodology and philosophy.

Yep, serving multiple schools is really where TARA's capabilities start to shine.

Nothing is more frustrating than having instructional leadership teams spend countless hours on curriculum, PD, and other materials meant to align the teachers across their network of schools - only to find that teachers rarely are able to consistently implement what they've put together.

But it's not because teachers don't want to (although sometimes :)). In reality, teachers tend to not implement new curricula or practices because it is not easy to. Emailing out PDFs that are 100s of pages long or Word document calendars that are clunky and hard to reference end up disrupting the workflow, instead of fitting seamlessly into it.

TARA solves that problem by organizing and delivering content in the same place as the rest of the teacher's workflow, streamlining adoption of all of your hard work.

Curious how it would actually work with your setting and materials? Schedule a chat with us and we can talk it through to see if TARA is a good fit for you and your teachers.
