FAQ

Your questions, answered

Getting Started

Can we start small?

Yes. Many schools start with leadership teams or a pilot group before expanding school-wide.

Do you provide onboarding or support?

Yes. Every school gets guided onboarding, a clear rollout plan for staff, and ongoing support from our team once you're up and running. You'll never have to figure it out alone.

What if our staff resists “another new system”?

Some hesitation is natural, and it usually comes from past tools that added work instead of removing it. Lamppost replaces the scattered apps and spreadsheets teachers already juggle, so most see the benefit within their first week. You’re also not on your own: our team supports you before, during, and after setup, from onboarding your staff to answering questions once everyone is up and running.

For School Leaders

How does Lamppost help me lead, not just manage?

Lamppost connects vision to goals to weekly execution to real-time data. You see drift before it becomes a problem. Less time chasing updates, more time leading.

Can I see progress across teams, grades, or departments?

Yes. Filter scorecards, priorities, and issues by team or department. Visibility without micromanagement.

Will this help with staff alignment and accountability?

Yes. Expectations are clear. Priorities are visible. Follow-through happens naturally through the system. No more wondering if things are getting done.

Can this replace multiple tools we’re already paying for?

Yes. Lamppost brings planning, meetings, goal tracking, and internal communication into one place. Schools can retire the separate planning tools, meeting tools, team chat apps, lesson inspiration boards, shared spreadsheets, and internal trackers they’ve been patching together. One platform instead of six or more.

Cost & Value

How does Lamppost compare to other tools teachers use?

Most teachers pay for several tools at once: an AI assistant, a lesson planner, a meeting tool, and more. None of them talk to each other, which creates duplicate work. The cost adds up, and so does the time spent copying information between them. Lamppost brings planning, AI assistance, meetings, goals, and school-wide alignment into one platform, so you pay for one system and your work stays connected.

What’s the ROI for schools?

Teacher turnover costs districts $20,000+ per departure. If Lamppost helps retain one teacher by reducing burnout and giving them time back, it pays for itself. Beyond retention: fewer unproductive meetings, fewer dropped balls, leaders focused on instruction instead of chasing updates.

About the AI

Is AI making decisions for teachers?

No. Lamppost uses an 80/20 approach: (1) AI handles the repetitive 80%: finding standards, drafting outlines, formatting. (2) You focus on the 20% that requires expertise: craft, relationships, professional judgment. AI supports teachers. It does not replace them.

What is the AI trained on?

Canadian provincial and territorial curricula. When AI suggests a lesson or unit plan, it works from the same outcomes, competencies, and standards you teach to. No generic responses that need translating to your curriculum.

What does the AI actually do?

It handles tedious planning tasks: (1) Pulling relevant standards. (2) Drafting lesson outlines. (3) Suggesting activities aligned to competencies. (4) Formatting unit plans. You review, refine, and finalize. AI does the heavy lifting. You make the final call.

Can I trust the AI recommendations?

AI outputs are: (1) Transparent, so you see why something was suggested. (2) Editable, so you always have final say. (3) Grounded in Canadian curriculum. Think of it as a first draft from a colleague who did the research. You bring the expertise.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is generic, knows nothing about Canadian curriculum, requires careful prompting, and has murky data practices. Lamppost is built for Canadian curriculum, integrated into your workflow, and never touches student data.

Data & Privacy

Is student data safe?

We don’t collect it. Lamppost does not ask for, store, or process individual student data. The platform handles teacher planning and school alignment. Your SIS handles student data.

What data does Lamppost actually use?

Curriculum standards, lesson plans, team goals, meeting notes, school priorities. No student names, grades, attendance, IEP information, or other personally identifiable student information.

Can we control what different roles can see?

Yes. Role-based access: teachers, principals, support staff, and district leaders each see what’s relevant to their role.

Who owns the data?

The school owns its data. We don’t sell it, share it, or use it to train AI models for other purposes.
