What do I see on my end?
The teacher dashboard includes the entire class view, submissions, student progress - everything teacher-facing in one place.
You’d grade less if students thought more.
Instead of spending hours pointing out the same organizational, clarity, and evidence gaps after a draft is submitted, help students address them while they write.
The questions teachers actually ask
Six honest answers,
before you book a demo...
Can I see where my student is?
Yes. Real-time progress through each Essay Builder block, by the student, is visible at all times.
Can I intervene before they’re stuck?
The magic of Dakoda is intervening before a student gets too deep into the writing. Student analytics shows wobbles in thesis or evidence before submission.
Does this reduce my grading load?
Yes. Dakoda coaches; you review thinking, not line-edits. Less time on comments, more on ideas.
Does it fit how I already teach?
Custom prompts, your rubrics, Google Classroom sync. Dakoda follows you.
How long does setup actually take?
Under two minutes from prompt to assignment. We mean it, and we’ll show you.
What You Get
The wide-angle lens
on every student...
One view: every class, every assignment, every student’s position in the protocol. Sorted by who needs you next.
How Dakoda fits a teacher’s workflow
See the thinking, not just the draft.
View real-time progress through Stance → Points → Evidence → Body → to Editor. Watch a class move through the protocol in your dashboard.
Intervene before submission.
Stuck-student alerts help you identify students who are struggling with their thesis, evidence, or organization while they're writing, so you can intervene before the bell rings.
Cut the grading time, not the depth.
When structure is solved upstream, your feedback shifts from line-edits to argument coaching. The work that matters more.
Built by teachers.
Shaped by the ones who use it.
