Built for the student-support work Washington schools already run.
Socrait is the voice-powered class companion that creates documentation directly from the teacher’s voice in a classroom and reduces a teacher’s follow-up workload.
Socrait listens while teachers teach, collects what they say about each student, and turns it into the behavior data, parent communication, and classroom documentation that Washington’s MTSS, your Integrated Student Supports plan, and your special education timelines already lean on.
Equitable student support starts with consistent, accurate data. Socrait provides the means to create a positive classroom environment without adding more work to a teacher’s day. Funded through the Washington streams your district already manages.
All without recording.
Washington’s support stack
...and the paperwork behind it
Washington doesn’t have one teacher workload law. It has a stack of them.
This cluster of obligations all land, in the end, on your teachers. None of these
obligations are the hard part. The hard part is what goes inside them: the specific, dated, teacher-observed
classroom evidence that makes a behavior record defensible, an IEP useful, and a parent conversation grounded in
what actually happened.
That evidence lives in your teachers’ heads until they have time to write it down, which leads to incomplete,
inconsistent, or missing data. Socrait creates the missing layer between what happened in class and the
documentation that follows it.
Integrated supports that run on classroom evidence.
OSPI frames MTSS as the state framework for improving outcomes for every student, built on team-based leadership, continuous data-based decision making, and integrated academic, social, emotional, and behavioral data. Washington’s Integrated Student Supports Protocol, in statute under RCW 28A.300.139, expects needs assessments, documentation of planned and provided supports, fidelity tools, and regular review of impact data. All of it depends on a clean, dated classroom record rather than end-of-week recollection.
- Behavior, praise, and redirection patterns for Tier 1 review
- Intervention notes and progress evidence for Tiers 2 and 3
- Documentation of supports provided, collected as it happens
- Records ready to feed the SIS and MTSS workflow your district already runs
Special education clocks that punish a thin record.
Washington runs initial special education on a 35 / 30 rhythm: 35 school days from written parental consent to complete the evaluation and decide eligibility, and 30 calendar days from eligibility to the IEP. Progress toward IEP goals must be reported to families, and OSPI’s behavior materials emphasize progress monitoring and continuous improvement. Socrait does not replace your IEP system. It gives the team a clearer factual record before behavior-support discussions, plan reviews, and the conversations these clocks set in motion.
- Dated behavior history before behavior-support planning
- Classroom-specific observations that make IEP progress reports actually describe a student
- Family-ready language for the communication these timelines require
- A cleaner record feeding the documentation your IEP platform expects
The state needs signals teachers can only see in the room.
OSPI calls attendance a leading indicator of equity, ties attendance work to MTSS, and is asking districts to join a five-year effort to cut chronic absenteeism roughly in half, from about 27 percent to 14 percent by 2029 — a target you cannot hit without catching the early signals that live in a classroom. OSPI’s approach leans on root-cause analysis, empathy interviews, and small tests of change, all of which need a usable record of what teachers are actually seeing.
- Participation dips and engagement concerns noted in the moment
- Outreach reminders and family-contact history kept in one place
- Classroom context that makes an attendance conversation specific and supportive
- Cleaner source data feeding your school improvement plan
How Socrait fits seamlessly between Washington classrooms and communication
Socrait listens to the teacher, not the students, and turns everyday narration into usable documentation. There is no audio recording and no new workflow to learn.
Press Stream when class starts.
The teacher activates Socrait manually. It listens only when they choose to start it, and they can stop at any time.
They teach like they always teach.
As the teacher narrates the room — a redirection, a win, a check-in, a note to follow up with a parent — Socrait seamlessly collects it in the background. No audio is stored, and student names are anonymized before any data reaches an AI model.
After class, the documentation is waiting.
Dated, organized, and ready for review and editing before anything is used or shared.
Your SIS, your IEP system, and your PBIS platform don't go away. Socrait feeds them the consistent, ground-level data they've been starving for without adding another data-entry job to your teachers' week.
What Socrait produces:
- Praises and warnings daily student tally
- MTSS tier 1 and PBIS-ready classroom observations
- Parent-communication drafts
- Class summaries, assignment changes, and reminders
- Student profiles with behavior tracking and summaries for context
- Behavior tracking over time with custom messages
- Engagement, participation, and attendance signals
Washington funding streams purchase Socrait.
We’ve mapped Socrait to the live Washington funding streams district leaders already manage. This is meant as a starting point for your business manager or federal programs director, not as legal or budgetary advice.
Learning Assistance Program (LAP)
BEST FIT, STATE-FUNDEDLAP is Washington’s state-funded supplemental support program, sitting in MTSS as targeted and intensive support. Beginning September 2025, districts must budget and expend LAP through the Integrated Student Supports Protocol, and LEAs may use up to 15 percent of the LAP base and high-poverty allocations to engage community partners under that framework, including for-profit organizations. Where Socrait supports LAP-served students and the ISS plan, this is your strongest Washington funding conversation. Confirm the linkage with the staff who manage your LAP plan.
Title IV-A — Student Support and Academic Enrichment
STRONG FITIn Washington, "Safe and Healthy Students" is the largest Title IV-A spending area, with school climate, schoolwide PBIS, trauma-informed classrooms, and integrated student and family supports among highlighted uses. Socrait fits multiple categories without competing with existing buys.
IDEA Part B
SPECIAL EDUCATIONWhen Socrait supports documentation, progress monitoring, behavior-support preparation, and parent communication for students with IEPs, it fits within IDEA Part B’s support-of-service framing. Confirm local allowability with your special education director.
Title II-A
IMPLEMENTATIONFunds recruitment, induction, professional development, and retention. The natural use is professional learning and coaching around Socrait adoption.
General Fund + strategic plan alignment
LOCALMany districts fund teacher-support tools through general fund lines tied to strategic plan goals around retention, behavior support, and family engagement. The right path where categorical routing is slower than the problem.
Why Washington leadership is paying attention.
TWashington’s official materials do not frame paperwork as a standalone initiative, but they lean hard on educators as the inception point of classroom data. Documentation drag lands on teachers. It shows up in turnover, in late IEP paperwork, in re-engagement plans that came too late, and in incidents that get under-documented because the teacher was already stretched thin.
Washington then measures schools on exactly those outcomes: engagement, climate, and the conditions for learning. Socrait doesn’t fix teacher retention. But it removes one specific, named source of the follow-up burden between what teachers notice during the day and what they still have to document after it — and does it without adding more to a teacher’s day.

FAQ
PBIS in Washington lives inside the broader MTSS, school climate, and behavioral-health work rather than as a single standalone statewide PBIS portal. The statutory anchors most relevant here are the Integrated Student Supports Protocol (RCW 28A.300.139) and the special education timelines in WAC 392-172A.
No. Those remain your official systems of record. Socrait improves the upstream classroom documentation they depend on.
LAP is flexible state funding that now runs through the ISS Protocol, and up to 15 percent of the base and high-poverty allocations can engage community partners, including for-profit organizations. The fit is strongest when Socrait clearly supports LAP-served students and your ISS plan, so confirm the linkage with the staff who manage LAP.
