COTIE
Cotie helps plan weeks, write lessons, and make worksheets. It shows you each change before anything moves.
PROPOSAL
Take Nov 24–28 off for Thanksgiving
Three lessons would move to the week after. Nothing gets dropped.
RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT PLAN
Open Cotie on the year and "this week" means the week you're looking at. Open it on a lesson and "make this simpler" means that section. Select three cards on a board and ask "connect these." Cotie works with the page and ideas already in front of you.
Your conversation stays with the plan, so you can pick up Sunday night where Tuesday left off.
Ask where the gaps are, and Cotie looks across the whole plan.
Ask whether the week is too heavy, and Cotie considers every scheduled subject.
Ask for a more hands-on activity, then review the suggested rewrite.
Select a few ideas and ask Cotie to connect them or turn them into a worksheet.
ONE ASSISTANT, LOTS OF HELP
Cotie can help plan a week, draft and revise lessons, gather materials, make worksheets, and research useful sources. It leaves your taught lessons alone and respects each teacher's subjects.

“Where are the holes in my year?” is a good place to start.
