Python for teachers — grade automation, lesson plan generation, edtech side income
Sunday-night grading is not part of the job description. Python writes the rubric once, applies it 30 times.
Teachers we've watched go through the site fall into two groups: those automating their existing workload (grade 30 essays with a rubric-scored LLM check, generate 5 variants of a quiz for different classes, export gradebook to district reporting format) and those building the exit (edtech tutoring app, YouTube channel with runnable code, tutoring platform with automated homework review). Both start at the same place: the syntax that lets a rubric become a function.
174 Foundations lessons in your browser — no district-IT sign-off to install Python. First 15 lessons are free with no card. Then the Automation track: openpyxl (Excel/Google Sheets I/O), requests (fetch/push to gradebook APIs), openai/anthropic SDK for rubric-graded feedback that scales. By month two you've clawed back 3-5 hours a week. By month six you can build the tutoring app.
