KnackPack for Schools

A whole-school proposal

Give your whole school a Claude that already knows how it works.

The Teacher Pack proved it for one role. This is the plan to put a customized, connected Claude behind every teacher, counselor, and administrator in the building — so the busywork runs itself and your people get their time back for students.

Why this proposal has teeth

/ Built and shipped the Teacher Pack — a live, personalized Claude skill

/ Founder, PIVET Labs — AI literacy in school communities

/ Building production Claude pipelines since early access

The problem

There is a hidden tax on every hour your staff work.

Most of the day never touches a student. Planning, differentiation, grading, parent notes, sub plans, IEP language, the same email rewritten for the fifth time. It's the work that quietly burns your best people out — and it's exactly what a well-built AI is good at.

/ 01

Teachers plan the same thing twice

Every lesson gets rebuilt from a blank page, reformatted for the district template, then differentiated by hand. The knowledge lives in their head, not in a system that reuses it.

/ 02

Admin runs on copy-and-paste

Counselors, front office, and leadership rewrite the same communications and reports constantly — no shared voice, no shared memory of how your building does things.

/ 03

Generic AI doesn't fix it

A blank chatbot has to be re-taught your curriculum, standards, and community every single time. So most staff try it once, get a generic answer, and quietly stop.

The shift

A prompt is something you retype. A skill is something Claude already knows.

A skill is a small instruction file Claude reads automatically whenever a request matches. Install it once and your context is baked in — your grades, your standards, your teaching style, your community norms. No prompt to memorize, no re-explaining. That's the difference between a novelty and a coworker.

Generic chatbot

Starts from zero, every time

  • ×You paste your standards and format into the prompt again
  • ×Output reads like a template, not like your building
  • ×Every teacher reinvents their own way of asking
  • ×Nothing improves, because nothing is saved

Your school's Claude

Knows your classroom before you ask

  • Every lesson plan follows your format and standards
  • Every parent email matches your community's voice
  • Sub plans use your real routines; IEP language follows a SMART structure with privacy guardrails
  • Improve the skill once, and everyone gets the better version

The leverage

Centrally deployed. Personally tuned. That's the part only we do.

Most 'AI for schools' gives everyone the same generic assistant. A single shared prompt knows your district template — but not Ms. Carter's actual classroom. We do both layers, and the second one is the whole point.

Layer 1 · The school, centrally

Build once, push to everyone

We author your school's shared context once — standards, adopted curriculum, community voice, templates, guardrails — and deploy it from one console to every seat. One source of truth for how your building does things, updated in one place, arriving instantly for everyone. No teacher installs anything.

Layer 2 · The classroom, personally

Each teacher tunes it in ~5 minutes

On top of the school layer, each teacher walks a short wizard — pick a grade-band starting point, tap in accommodations, add their teaching style and routines. Now the AI knows your district template and their actual classroom. Not a shared prompt — a coworker that plans the way they plan.

The role map

A pack for every seat in the building.

The master schedule for your school's AI. Each role gets skills tuned to how that job actually works. A starting map — we finalize it together during discovery.

How it runs

Real product, real guardrails. Not a workaround.

This runs on Claude's own Team and Enterprise plans. Here's the honest picture of the platform — and where the whole-school skill deployment actually lives.

Claude Team

from $20 / seat / mo (annual)

The natural starting point for a single school or a pilot. Built for teams of 5 to 150.

  • +Central billing and administration
  • +Single sign-on (SSO) + admin connector controls
  • +No model training on your content by default
  • +Mix standard and premium seats by role
  • +We manage a shared skill library for your staff

Claude Enterprise

$20 / seat + usage

For a larger building or a district rollout that needs district-grade controls.

  • +Organization-wide skills deployment — build once, push to every seat
  • +Role-based access with fine-grained permissioning
  • +SCIM, audit logs, and a compliance API
  • +Custom data-retention controls
  • +HIPAA-ready offering available

Built for a school, not a startup

Student privacy firstSkills are built on categories and context, never individual student records. The Teacher Pack never asks who you teach — it already knows your curriculum and standards. Designed with FERPA in mind.
Your data stays yoursOn Team and Enterprise, your content isn't used to train models by default. Central admin controls who can connect what.
Adoption is the hard partThe platform is ready. What determines success is the skills, the training, and the rollout — exactly the part I own.
Confirmed before commitmentWe confirm current Anthropic plan features and pricing with their team before any agreement. No surprises at signing.

Plan names, features, and pricing reflect Anthropic's published pricing at claude.com/pricing and are subject to change.

The efficiency math

Set your own assumptions. Watch the hours add up.

Not a promise — a model. Move the sliders to your building's real numbers. Even a conservative estimate turns into staff-weeks reclaimed across a school year.

Assumes a 36-week school year and a 40-hour work week. Every figure is editable — and yours to defend.

Where I come in

The platform is the easy part. I bring the rest.

Anyone can buy seats. Turning seats into a school that runs on AI takes someone who has built and shipped this before. Here's exactly how the engagement runs.

/ 01

Discover

~2 weeks

We map the real time-drains by role and gather your reference material — curriculum, standards, templates, voice. We leave with a prioritized skill list.

/ 02

Author

~2–3 weeks

I build the skills, bake in your documents, and set the student-privacy guardrails. Each ships with a test prompt, so we prove it works before a single teacher sees it.

/ 03

Deploy

~1 week

We stand up your Team or Enterprise workspace, configure SSO and admin controls, and publish the skills from one console. Staff install nothing.

/ 04

Train

Rollout

Hands-on PD by role — not a generic AI webinar, but your skills and your workflows, practiced live until it sticks. Can pair with Anthropic's free AI-fluency courses for educators.

/ 05

Optimize

Ongoing

Skills improve as the year unfolds. We review what staff actually use, sharpen the winners, retire the rest, and update everyone at once.

Ways to start

Start small, or go all in.

Three ways to bring this in. Every engagement includes the skills, the deployment, and hands-on PD. Scope and pricing are finalized after discovery.

Pilot Cohort

Prove it with one department or teacher team before you commit the building.

  • +A small Team workspace
  • +3–5 custom skills for one role
  • +One PD session + test-prompt handoff
  • +A 12-week measured trial
Most schools start here

Building Rollout

The full whole-school vision: a pack for every seat, deployed and trained.

  • +Team or Enterprise workspace setup
  • +The full role map of custom skills
  • +Role-by-role PD across your staff
  • +A term of optimization and updates

District Partnership

A hub-and-spoke model that scales one great build across many schools.

  • +Enterprise deployment and controls
  • +A shared skill library across sites
  • +Train-the-trainer for site leaders
  • +Ongoing partnership and roadmap
