New Teacher Induction Kit.
An app idea for private schools.
A short onboarding pack a private school head can fill in once and reuse, covering the school's own rules, parent habits and reporting expectations.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Principal or head of department
- The problem
- A new teacher at a small private school gets thrown in with no written guide to how this school actually works. The head repeats the same explanations every hire and the new teacher still feels unsupported in week one.
- The gap
- Existing onboarding material is generic checklists and HR form software built for districts with an HR department. Nothing produces a school-specific pack covering that school's own parent contact habits, reporting routines and unwritten rules, which is what a small private school actually needs.

- The big assumption
- That heads will pay for onboarding content rather than hand the new teacher a printed staff handbook.
- Test it this week
- Offer to build one induction pack by hand for a school you already know, for a small fee. If the head will not pay for the hand-built version, the product will not sell.
