Built to empower teachers and reduce paperwork burdens.
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 feed Georgia’s School Climate Star Rating, GaMTSS, and your GO-IEP timelines.
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 Georgia streams your district already manages.
All without recording.
Georgia’s compliance stack
...and the paperwork behind it
Georgia 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 discipline 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.
The state grades your climate on data your teachers generate.
Georgia was the first state in the nation to put school climate in its academic accountability system and the resulting Star Rating runs on the exact data that lives in a teacher’s head until the bell rings. State law requires every school to receive a 1-to-5 School Climate Star Rating, calculated from discipline data, attendance data, a safety component, and perception surveys, and published on Georgia Insights. The rating is required by law. What feeds it is the ground-level record of redirections, praises, incidents, and attendance signals that most teachers cannot get down before the next class walks in.
- Discipline and behavior incidents captured as they happen
- Praise-to-redirection patterns a PBIS team can review over time
- Attendance and engagement signals preserved before they become trends
- Cleaner classroom evidence behind your Star Rating inputs
Tiered support that runs on classroom evidence.
GaDOE merged PBIS into the Georgia Multi-Tiered System of Supports, a statewide framework built on screening, progress monitoring, multi-level prevention, data-based decision making, and infrastructure. Districts move through the GaMTSS Foundational and Advanced Tiers series using District and School Fidelity Tools. All of it depends on a problem-solving or student support team reading specific, dated classroom evidence, not end-of-week recollection.
- Behavior, praise, and redirection patterns for Tier 1 review
- Engagement and participation patterns
- Intervention observations and response-to-support evidence for Tiers 2 and 3
- Trends an SST or MTSS team can actually read
- Records ready to feed GO MTSS/SST and the workflow your campus already runs
Special education clocks that punish a thin record.
Georgia runs initial special education on a 60 / 30 rhythm: 60 calendar days from parental consent to a completed evaluation, and 30 calendar days from eligibility to the initial IEP. Progress toward IEP goals must be reported to families, and your evaluation timelines are tracked in GO-IEP. Socrait does not replace GO-IEP. It gives the team a clearer factual record before FBA discussions, BIP reviews, and the meetings these clocks set in motion, so the conversation starts from what actually happened.
- Dated behavior history before FBA and BIP work
- 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 GO-IEP expects
How Socrait fits seamlessly between Georgia 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
Georgia funding streams to purchase Socrait.
We’ve mapped Socrait to the live Georgia funding streams district leaders already manage. This is meant as a starting point for your federal programs director or business manager, not as legal or budgetary advice.
Title IV-A — Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE)
BEST FITGaDOE administers Title IV-A as a block formula grant whose purposes include improving school conditions for student learning and improving the use of technology. PBIS implementation, school climate work, reducing exclusionary discipline, family engagement, and effective use of technology are allowable categories. Socrait fits more than one without competing with existing buys.
IDEA Part B
SPECIAL EDUCATIONWhen Socrait supports documentation, progress monitoring, FBA/BIP 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 activities that strengthen teacher and leader effectiveness. The natural use is professional learning and coaching around Socrait adoption which helps teachers become more aware of their patterns and ways to improve their classroom engagement.
Title I-A
TITLE I SCHOOLSParent-and-family-engagement activities and school-parent compact requirements. Georgia’s family-engagement and attendance guidance names Title I-A among the funding sources for the communication and support workflow Socrait strengthens.
General Fund + strategic plan alignment
LOCALMany Georgia districts fund teacher-support tools through general fund lines tied to strategic plan goals around retention, behavior support, and family engagement. A practical option when federal-program routing is slower than the need.
Why Georgia leadership is paying attention
Teachers feeling buried by documentation is not an abstraction in Georgia. It shows up in turnover, in PBIS fidelity scores, in late IEP paperwork, in truancy referrals that came too late, and in incidents that get under-documented because the teacher was already stretched thin. And Georgia’s accountability system grades the school on exactly the outcomes that started in a classroom, when no one had time to document.
Federal research has linked paperwork burden directly to teachers’ intent to leave the profession. Socrait doesn’t fix teacher retention. But it removes one specific, named source of the paperwork burden Georgia law creates and does it without adding more to a teacher’s day.

FAQ
PBIS has been merged into the Georgia Multi-Tiered System of Supports and is implemented in a large majority of Georgia schools, but the legal anchor is not a freestanding PBIS statute. It is the School Climate Star Rating under O.C.G.A. § 20-14-33, which every school receives and which draws on discipline and attendance data.
No. GO-IEP and your SIS remain your official systems of record and submission. Socrait improves the upstream classroom documentation those systems depend on.
Indirectly, by improving the quality and consistency of the classroom discipline and engagement record that feeds it. Socrait does not calculate or report your rating; it helps your teachers capture cleaner source data.
By preserving a clearer behavior history and intervention trail before the team conducts an FBA, implements or revises a BIP, or prepares for an eligibility or IEP meeting. Socrait does not replace the GO-IEP process or your district’s special education forms.
Districts already committed to GaMTSS, schoolwide PBIS, and centralized student support workflows.
