For Student Teachers & Interns
The Whiteboard for Formal Lesson Observations
Lesson observations require structured clarity. ClassHelper displays learning phases, timers, and social forms on your classroom screen. No registration needed, and permanently free for student teachers with verification.
Open Whiteboard
Clear Structure That Observers Can Follow
During formal evaluations and practicum visits, observers assess visible classroom organization. A screen that clearly states the active phase relieves you from having to repeatedly narrate the process.
-
Make Lesson Phases Visible
The Work Phase tool clarifies instantly whether students are working independently, in pairs, or collaboratively.
-
Keep Lesson Pacing Under Control
The timer keeps your lesson plan strictly on schedule, even when observation nerves tempt you to rush or linger.
-
Display the Lesson Outline
The daily schedule provides a visible roadmap matching the lesson plan submitted to your university supervisor.
Tools for Evaluated Lessons
Every tool opens directly in your browser on your classroom screen, with no sign-up required.
Three Moments Where the Screen Supports You
A Polished Lesson Opening That Engages Observers
The first five minutes set the tone for your evaluation. A clear screen displaying your learning objective and initial task is ready before students even take their seats. Type your directions with Text and outline the lesson with the Daily Schedule.
Pacing Guided Practice Without Rushing
Your written lesson plan outlines exact minutes, but real classroom pacing can drift. The Timer keeps active phases visible while the Work Phase tool establishes norms, saving you from verbal interruptions in front of your supervisor.
Effective Lesson Synthesis and Exit Checks
Under time pressure, lesson synthesis is often cut short. A prepared board layout keeps it focused: two key takeaways and an exit ticket. When you need instant feedback, run a quick Poll instead of rushed hand-raising.

Frequently Asked Questions: Student Teachers
Is ClassHelper really free for student teachers?
Yes. ClassHelper is completely free with all tools and templates unlocked, no registration, and no time limits. Premium normally costs $2.49 per month, but student teachers receive it permanently free upon verification. The first month is free for all users with no credit card required.
What documentation is accepted for verification?
Any official document verifying your enrollment in a teacher credential, practicum, or student teaching program: university enrollment letters, student ID cards, or placement agreements from your host school. Upload it through our contact page during your free trial.
What personal information is collected during verification?
Your verification document is reviewed solely to grant access and is promptly deleted; your classroom board configurations always stay stored locally in your browser. We use Stripe Payments Europe (Dublin, Ireland) to process payments. Only billing data goes there, never student or lesson data.
