Built for the classroom evidence your North Carolina obligations already depend on.
Socrait is the voice-powered class companion that turns what a teacher says while teaching into clean, dated documentation: behavior notes, praise and warning patterns, parent-communication drafts, and class summaries. It collects the classroom evidence your school improvement, behavioral intervention, and student-support work runs on, without adding another data-entry task to a teacher's day. All without recording.
The North Carolina Education Landscape
North Carolina public schools operate within specific requirements and frameworks for student mental health, school improvement, and behavioral support. Most of them ultimately depend on one thing: timely, accurate, teacher-observed classroom evidence.
School mental health plan and annual reporting (required).
Under Session Law 2020-7 and State Board Policy SHLT-003, every K-12 public school unit must adopt and implement a school mental health plan that includes a mental health training program and a suicide risk referral protocol. Beginning with 2025 school mental health plan reporting, public school units must submit annual data on instances of student contacts for referrals, interventions, and services provided by specialized instructional support personnel, reported through the NC Student Information System. Socrait does not provide mental-health services and is not a suicide-risk tool. What it does is help teachers and school teams preserve the classroom context behind a referral — what happened, when, what was tried, and what needs follow-up — so the right staff get a clear handoff and the underlying documentation is consistent.
School Improvement Plan (required).
North Carolina schools subject to Article 8B must develop a School Improvement Plan, and NCDPI uses NCStar as the platform for documenting goals, action steps, and monitoring implementation. Socrait helps generate the classroom-level evidence that makes those goals and action steps measurable, rather than aspirational.
NC MTSS and Integrated Academic & Behavior Systems (supported framework).
NCDPI's Integrated Academic & Behavior Systems (IABS) team defines NC MTSS as a school improvement framework spanning academic, behavioral, social, and emotional instruction and support, and builds local capacity through professional development, coaching, and technical assistance. Socrait supports this work by giving teachers a simpler way to produce the dated, classroom-level notes that MTSS teaming and problem-solving depend on.
ECATS MTSS module (state system).
North Carolina's ECATS MTSS module is a secure PK-13 solution for MTSS planning and implementation, with an early warning system that cas general education interventions and supports analysis and reporting. Socrait does not replace ECATS. It helps teachers feed it cleaner classroom evidence.
Participation, engagement, and attendance (supported framework).
Through AttendNC Counts, North Carolina frames chronic absenteeism as best addressed through tiered, data-enabled supports with clear Tier 1 routines, defined Tier 2 and Tier 3 criteria, consistent outreach, and documentation detailed enough to support follow-through. Socrait helps teachers preserve early patterns in engagement, redirection, and family communication so schools can act before a student disengages.
PBIS and special-education behavioral supports (supported and required).
In North Carolina, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is supported as the behavioral component of MTSS rather than a single standalone statewide mandate. Separately, under IDEA, IEP teams are required to consider positive behavioral interventions and supports when a student's behavior impedes learning. Socrait helps teachers collect the behavior evidence that grounds Tier 1 routines, FBA/BIP conversations, and IEP progress descriptions in what actually happened in the classroom.
Why It Matters for North Carolina Educators
The frameworks are not the hard part. The hard part is the evidence that goes inside them — the specific, dated, teacher-observed classroom detail that makes a referral defensible, an IEP useful, an improvement goal measurable, and a parent conversation grounded in fact.
That evidence usually lives in a teacher's head until there is time to write it down, which means it often arrives incomplete, late, or not at all. The new annual reporting on mental-health referrals, interventions, and services raises the stakes: schools now need consistent classroom context flowing to their specialized instructional support staff, not just a count at the end of the year.
For teachers already stretched thin, every added tracking task competes with instruction and with the reasons they stay in the profession. North Carolina's own strategic priorities point toward healthier learning environments and fewer administrative burdens. Socrait removes one specific, recurring source of that burden, without putting another system in front of teachers.
How Socrait Fits
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
North Carolina-Aligned Use Cases
MTSS Tier 1 documentation.
Generate the dated, classroom-level notes that NC MTSS problem-solving and teaming depend on, ready to inform ECATS and your support-team conversations.
NC PBIS Tier 1 observations and tallys.
Collect praise-to-warning patterns and redirection trends that show whether Tier 1 routines are working and where students need more support.
Mental-health referral and contact documentation.
Preserve the classroom context behind a referral so specialized instructional support personnel get a clear handoff and so the documentation behind your school mental health plan reporting is consistent. Socrait supports the documentation and communication workflow; it is not the state reporting system or a clinical service.
School Improvement Plan continuous improvement.
See patterns and track the behavioral evidence school-wide that makes SIP goals and action steps in NCStar measurable and monitored over time.
Parent communication and student-support meetings.
Turn what happened in class into parent-ready drafts and meeting-ready notes, so families and student-support teams work from the same accurate record.
Special-education behavior supports.
Surface the classroom-specific observations that make IEP progress reports actually describe a student and that ground FBA/BIP and PBIS conversations in real, dated evidence.
What North Carolina Leadership Gets
Principals and assistant principals:
A building-level view of praise-to-warning ratios, behavior incidence types, and trends over time, plus more consistent, timely classroom documentation feeding your MTSS, PBIS, attendance, and school-climate work. And by reducing teacher paperwork, a real lever against one of the top drivers of turnover.
Special-education directors:
Dated, classroom-specific observations that make IEP progress reports meaningful and put a real paper trail under FBA/BIP conversations. Your existing IEP system, better fed.
MTSS and IABS leads:
A reliable flow of classroom evidence into your problem-solving and teaming process, ready to inform ECATS and tiered decision-making.
Student services and mental-health staff:
Clearer classroom handoffs when a referral is warranted, and more consistent documentation behind your school mental health plan and its annual reporting, so your specialized instructional support personnel spend less time reconstructing context.
Teachers:
A way to document behavior, praises, warnings, and classroom moments without losing instructional time or staying late. A safety net, not another system to feed.
