What a Week With Dolly Looks Like: A Smarter, Calmer Teaching Workflow.
🧑🏫 Typical Week Start? You’re Already Behind
It’s the first week of June. Half the class is still mentally in exam mode. Your inbox is full. Your to-do list? Even worse.
You need to:
Finish marking last term’s assignments
Prep for the new half-term
Start building student reports
Support students who are anxious and unmotivated post-exams
It’s the kind of week that usually ends in exhaustion.
But let’s imagine a different version.
One where you’re still the teacher, but you’re not doing it all alone.
Here’s what that could look like with Dolly quietly working in the background.
📅 Monday: Plan the Week in One Go
Instead of juggling a last-minute lesson prep with an admin, you sit down, enter your learning objectives, and let Dolly build a week’s worth of lessons — complete with suggested activities and aligned resources.

What changes: You start the week with structure, not stress.
📘 Tuesday: Marking and Feedback, Handled
You upload short-answer assessments and student writing. Dolly drafts personalised, editable feedback — so you spend time fine-tuning, not rewriting the same note 25 times.
What changes: You return to work faster, with comments that support learning — without giving up your evening.
🧠 Wednesday: Support the Students Who Need It
Post-exams, some students are disengaged or anxious. Dolly’s insights help you spot progress gaps and prepare simpler, lower-pressure activities — in minutes.
Need a quick review task or calming assignment? Dolly suggests one.
What changes: You stay responsive without scrambling. Every student’s emotion feels supported.
📝 Thursday: Start Reports Without Dread
You open your report template — and Dolly suggests starting points based on student learning objectives and past assessments. You adjust the tone and detail — no blank page syndrome.
What changes: Reports get done faster, and your brain doesn’t melt in the process.
☕ Friday: Wrap Up, Not Burn Out
Dolly helps you auto-sort your remaining tasks, flag unfinished marking, and sketch out next week’s goals.
Instead of racing to catch up, you review, reflect, and leave school without the usual Friday fog.
What changes: You finish the week clear-headed — and even a bit ahead.
💬 What Teachers Say
“Finally, I can spend my Sunday afternoons with family instead of marking books. This is Game-changing stuff.”
— S. Johnson, Year 8 Science Lead, London
🧭 Teaching Will Always Be Demanding — But It Doesn’t Have to Be Draining
This June, you’re doing the job of three people: teacher, admin, and emotional support lead.
Dolly AI won’t replace your voice, your care, or your instincts. But it can take the heavy lifting out of your week — so you have the time and clarity to do what matters most.
