Stop forwarding circulars into a black hole.
Forward emails from the DoE, Tusla, Oide and your Education Centre to your school's HubDuck address. Every teacher gets one short list: what it is, when, where, and a button to sign up or mark it read. They can get through it on the walk to the staff room. You see who's done what before the meeting starts.
For you: see who has read each circular and who has signed up for each course, so you can tell whether your SSE plan and Children First training are on track without chasing anyone.
For staff: one list instead of forty emails, and nothing to install.
In use at a Galway primary school.
How emails flow through HubDuck
Emails you forward from the Department of Education, Tusla, Oide, the Education Centre, the Teaching Council, NCSE and local organisations arrive at HubDuck. HubDuck gives every teacher what they must read or do with a Noted or Done button, puts courses and opportunities on a separate Worth knowing shelf, and files information-only emails for the principal. The principal sees who has confirmed each policy, can remind those who have not, and sees which actions are overdue, plus their done count.
Illustrative example, based on the kinds of emails Irish primary schools receive every week.
Why you send things round in the first place
You know the moment. You ask at the staff meeting, "Did anyone pick up that training I sent round?" and the room goes quiet, because nobody is sure. HubDuck is for that moment.
Your plans actually happen
- Policies get read and confirmed. You can see each person's status on every policy, so a policy update is done, not just sent.
- Training gets taken up. The courses and opportunities you pass on reach every teacher, and you can see the interest.
- No more chasing in the corridor. Remind only the few who haven't confirmed a policy. Nobody needs to avoid you on the way to the staff room.
Nothing missed, nothing to trawl through
- Every opportunity in one place. Courses, webinars, bursaries and competitions on one shelf, instead of buried in an inbox.
- Policies they can take in between classes. A short summary of what changed, with the original email one tap away.
- One short list. Their own login, their own list: what they still have to read or do, with the date. Overdue items show in red.
Nothing changes about how you work
Forward it, like you do now
Send the email on to your school's HubDuck address. Policy updates, Tusla, courses, the lot. Nothing new to learn.
Teachers get one short list
Every teacher has their own login, weekly digest and list: what they must read or do, with the date. Courses and opportunities go on their own shelf.
You see what needs follow-up
Each person's status on every policy, and which actions are overdue, plus their done count. Send policy reminders without raising it at the staff meeting.
Gemini helps you with your inbox. HubDuck helps you with theirs.
Email assistants work on one person's private copy. HubDuck is one shared list for the whole staff, so you can see what has actually happened.
