For Heads, Principals, and leadership teams, no two days are the same.
Across the UK, US, and beyond, school leadership teams are dealing with soaring workloads and deteriorating wellbeing.
According to the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), 84 % of UK school leaders see workload as a significant retention challenge. Globally, OECD’s Education at a Glance series call for deeper investment in leadership support tools to improve school performance and sustainability. In the US, the Department of Education data in Education Week showed principals spend 31 % of their week on administrative tasks, while averaging nearly 60 hours per week overall. Adding to this, a recent survey from the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) revealed that 50 % of school leaders considered career change or retirement due to excessive stress.
With TeacherMatic, we’ve listened to educators and our users to create the AI support you need.
To put this support into context, let’s consider a school week — the challenges leadership teams can experience and how our AI tools help…
Monday: Start the week managing change with confidence
During the weekly leadership team meeting, the discussion focuses on how to implement a new digital behaviour tracking system by September, which includes staff training, policy updates, and parent communications.
Get support from the Change Management Generator
Upload your draft policy, select your preferred model (like Kotter or Lewin), and TeacherMatic delivers a clear, staged plan: communications, stakeholder mapping, training phases, and feedback loops.
Why it helps
Saves hours of planning time, aligns teams, and reduces resistance to change—without compromising clarity.
Tuesday: Continue dealing with serious allegations
An anonymous concern is raised via the staff whistleblowing line, triggering a need for urgent but sensitive action.
Get support from the Address Whistleblower Allegations Generator
After uploading the school’s whistleblowing policy, the system suggests a tailored plan of action based on the nature of the concern, type of reporter, and policy protocol.
Why it helps
Ensures compliance, protects identities, and guides leadership through difficult decisions, without having to start from a blank page.
Wednesday: Move on to make sense of the data
The leadership team is preparing for an upcoming governor board meeting. Data from attendance records, faculty reviews, and parent surveys is piling up…
Get support from the Insight Generator
Upload spreadsheets, reports, even scanned documents, and get a clear summary of what’s inside, plus intelligent follow-up questions to explore in leadership discussions.
Why it helps
Transforms messy data into meaningful insight, which is perfect for meetings, decision-making, and reporting.
Thursday: Turn reflection into action
The self-assessment review cycle is underway. Department leads have submitted spreadsheets and commentary, but turning this into a draft SAR is a time-intensive task.
Get support from the Self Assessment Advisor Generator
Upload documents or spreadsheets, and TeacherMatic produces SAR-ready content aligned to your sector and region.
Bonus: You can link this to the Improvement Plan Generator to build your QIP next.
Why it helps
Speeds up SAR prep and identifies clear improvement points, while maintaining the flexibility for local context and tone.
Friday: Prepare for a big speech
Next week, the head is delivering a keynote to staff and governors on the school’s progress and vision. There’s pressure to inspire, inform, and engage.
Get support from the State of the Nation Speech Generator
Upload your SAR, inspection report, or improvement plan and receive a professionally structured speech with optional slides for visual support.
Why it helps
Saves precious time, ensures key points aren’t missed, and boosts leader confidence ahead of a high-stakes presentation.
