Teaching Resources

Welcome to the Teacher Resources hub — your one-stop shop for tools designed to make classroom life easier, more creative, and (hopefully) a bit more fun. Here you’ll find a growing collection of interactive applications and generators, from word searches and random student pickers to full-on rubric makers and creative classroom challenges.

We’re always developing, testing, and improving — new tools are added regularly based on what teachers tell us they need most. Whether it’s a practical classroom timer, a playful photography challenge, or something brand new, the aim is to save you time and spark ideas for your lessons.

💡 Don’t forget: We’re open to your recommendations. If you have an idea for a tool that would make your teaching easier, let us know — your feedback shapes what we build next.

A smart, interactive dashboard designed for Stranraer Academy teachers. The planner helps you manage timetables, track tasks, monitor progress, and access daily teaching tips — all in one place. Stay organised, focused, and ready for every lesson.
