FAQ

Questions from principals

Something else on your mind? Contact our team.

What if our staff resists another new system?

−

Lamppost replaces tools instead of adding one. Planning, meetings, scorecards and goals share one login, and any teacher can start on the free Base plan before the whole school joins.

Can we start small?

+

Yes. Roll Lamppost out to your whole school at once, or start with one team and bring everyone else on when you're ready.

Can I see progress across teams, grades or departments?

+

Yes. Scorecards and Rocks can be set for one person, a team or the whole school, so you can see progress at every level.

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

+

Planning, assessments, meetings, scorecards, goals and more share one platform, one login and one bill.

Will staff feel watched?

+

No. You see how the school is running from the work staff already do in Lamppost. There are no extra reports to fill out. Teachers also have their own private workspace, so their lesson plans and drafts stay theirs until they choose to share them.

Where is our data stored?

+

Lamppost is built and hosted in Canada. Your data stays on Canadian servers.
