Over 9 million grades have been imported using Teachertools since it was released in 2020, saving thousands of hours of teachers’ time across Texas.

Teachertools was written by Eric Shaffer in his own time and he has not been compensated by any school district for this work. Eric is a high school teacher who wanted to stop spending time typing grades so he could spend more time planning lessons and engaging with students. He started with rough prototypes but eventually made something that worked well enough that other teachers could benefit from it, too. He spent all of the COVID Summer of 2020 making it easier to use, adding error messages and tutorials, and released it as a Google Chrome Extension before the year of remote learning started.

Word spread quickly once teachers realized how much time it could save, and the rest is history.
