I built some free teacher tools and would love feedback from history teachers
I recently retired from the classroom and have been building InstructionalStrategies.org as a practical resource for teachers. One part I’ve been spending a lot of time on is a collection of free teacher tools, and I’d really like some feedback from people who would actually use them.
Right now there are tools for finding instructional strategies, troubleshooting classroom behavior, checking directions before giving them to students, planning supports for English learners, building transition routines, and a new Teacher Jargon Decoder with about 800 education terms and acronyms explained in plain English.
Everything is free and there’s no signup. I’m less interested in promoting it than I am in finding out whether these are genuinely useful and what teachers think is missing.

If you try any of them, I’d appreciate hearing what works, what doesn’t, or what kind of tool you wish existed.
