AI Workflow Automation for Schools

Map workflows, identify automation opportunities, reduce manual workload.

The Problem

Schools are bombarded with tools that add work instead of removing it. Without a clear AI strategy, teachers end up clicking more and teaching less.

My Approach

I map your workflows—from classroom routines to leadership reporting—and identify where AI can safely automate repetitive tasks. We prioritise teacher time, inclusion, and compliance.

What's Included

AI readiness review of current tools and workflows
Automation opportunities across attendance, reporting and documentation
Prioritised roadmap that centres teacher experience
Implementation and change-management support
Ongoing consultation as tools and needs evolve

Benefits

Reduce manual workload, make informed technology investments, and ensure AI supports your school values.

Custom Education Software Development

Purpose-built tools like TrackMe-Ed, AdjustMe and ClassWork-Ed—built for your school.

The Problem

Off-the-shelf platforms rarely match your classrooms. Teachers end up building workarounds in spreadsheets and emails.

My Approach

I design and build web-based tools—like TrackMe-Ed, AdjustMe and ClassWork-Ed—that are purpose-built for schools. Every build starts with teacher interviews and ends with leadership-ready reporting.

What's Included

Discovery sessions with key stakeholders
Custom web application and dashboard development
Data visualisation for attendance, behaviour and wellbeing
Workflow automation and integration with existing systems
User testing, training and documentation
Ongoing maintenance and support

Benefits

Tools that fit your workflows, reduce admin time, and give leadership clear, trustworthy data.

NCCD & Inclusion Support with AI Tools

Standardise adjustment commentary, reduce NCCD admin, keep inclusion at the centre.

The Problem

NCCD documentation is time-consuming and inconsistent. Teachers struggle to capture quality evidence in busy classrooms.

My Approach

Using tools like AdjustMe, I help schools design evidence workflows that standardise adjustment commentary, surface inclusive options, and minimise repetitive typing.

What's Included

NCCD workflow audit and gap analysis
Evidence collection workflows informed by real classrooms
Standardised adjustment commentary using AI support
Implementation and refinement of AdjustMe-style tools
Staff training and compliance review

Benefits

Reduce NCCD admin, improve evidence quality and consistency—so teachers can focus on students, not forms.

Teacher Workflow + Admin Reduction

Centralise information, remove low-value admin, free time for planning and relationships.

The Problem

Teachers record and double-handle information across multiple systems, leaving less time for planning and relationships.

My Approach

I redesign workflows around teacher time, using AI-powered tools and automation that remove low-value admin without losing necessary data.

What's Included

Workflow mapping with teachers and support staff
Identification of automation opportunities
Use of TrackMe-Ed and similar tools to centralise information
Automated summaries and reports where appropriate
Staff training and documentation

Benefits

Centralised information, improved meeting efficiency, measurable admin reductions—without sacrificing nuance.

Leadership Strategy & Digital Implementation

Realistic AI adoption plans—aligned with priorities, QA and staff capacity.

The Problem

Leadership teams are expected to “do AI” while managing compliance, staffing and day-to-day complexity. It’s easy to either stall or overcorrect.

My Approach

I partner with leadership to plan realistic AI adoption—aligning tools like TrackMe-Ed, AdjustMe and ClassWork-Ed with existing priorities, QA requirements and staff capacity.

What's Included

School or network-wide AI integration planning
Digital implementation aligned with strategic plans
Change management support for complex contexts
QA and compliance considerations for new tools
Leadership coaching and implementation resources

Benefits

Practical AI strategy that staff can actually implement—grounded in real school contexts rather than generic transformation slides.

Curriculum & Assessment Alignment with AI

Align AI workflows with outcomes, rubrics and moderation.

The Problem

AI tools can easily drift away from curriculum intent or assessment standards if they are introduced without careful design and moderation structures.

My Approach

Drawing on curriculum and assessment experience (including VCE-VM), I help schools align AI-supported workflows with existing outcomes, rubrics and moderation practices.

What's Included

Curriculum-aligned use patterns for AI tools
Assessment and moderation processes that use AI appropriately
Staff workshops focused on practical classroom use
Ongoing support and iteration based on real student work

Benefits

Confident staff who use AI to strengthen curriculum, assessment and inclusion.

Engagement Options

Schools typically engage Simon on a flexible consultancy basis, similar to bringing in a specialist educator or consultant to design and implement systems that support teaching teams and leadership.

This allows schools to pilot ideas, improve existing systems, or receive ongoing support without committing to large software contracts.

Consultation Session

A focused strategic conversation with school leadership or staff to discuss challenges related to learning adjustments, intervention tracking, teacher workflows, or digital systems.

Example inclusions:

• reviewing existing systems
• identifying workflow challenges
• discussing implementation strategies
• planning potential pilots or improvements

Pricing: From $250–$400 per session

Specialist Implementation Day

A full-day engagement where Simon works with a school on-site or remotely to design, implement, or refine systems that support teachers and leadership teams.

Example activities:

• designing intervention or adjustment tracking systems
• building teacher workflow tools
• developing leadership dashboards
• implementing digital learning support systems
• staff training and professional learning

Pricing: Typically $900–$1,500 per day

This engagement model is similar to hiring a specialist CRT or consultant for targeted system development and training.

Pilot Implementation or Short Project

For schools wishing to trial or implement a structured system across a program, team, or cohort.

Example inclusions:

• system design and configuration
• pilot rollout with staff
• workflow refinement
• feedback and iteration

Pricing: Custom pricing depending on scope

Retained Systems Specialist

For schools wanting ongoing support designing, maintaining, and evolving digital systems that support teaching teams and leadership. This model allows schools to retain Simon on a regular CRT-style basis to provide continuous support and improvement.
