What Smart Teacher is
Smart Teacher brings a class register, gradebook, timetable, planning, and reports into one app for individual teachers. In the register, teachers can mark pupils present, late, or absent and track attendance patterns. The gradebook supports class-specific categories, weightings, and grading scales. For lesson planning, a teacher can describe what they teach in a sentence and use AI to generate a scheme of units and lessons. AI can also draft pupil report comments using attendance and marks; the teacher reviews and edits the drafts before using them. Free and Pro plans both support export to PDF, Word, and Excel. Smart Teacher runs on the web and Android. The maker says teaching data is stored on Google Cloud Platform and stays in the EU. Its privacy policy describes encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and tenant-level data isolation. When generating requested AI content, relevant teaching data is sent to Google Gemini; the policy says Google does not use it to train AI models. Smart Teacher is described as built for individual teachers; the maker says its school-wide offering is Bright Class, set up with the maker. Free includes three classes, three planning schemes, 10 AI credits per month, and 100 MB. After the 30-day Pro trial, accounts move to Free and classes or schemes over Free limits pause.
