This is a chance to try something new, see how it could help, and tell us what you think. Your voice will help shape what happens next.
What is Mana?
Mana is a platform that uses child development research and AI technology to help educators with documentation and planning. It learns your writing style and approach, and works alongside you through an in-built mentor called “Coach Sue”.
We are trialling Mana to see if it can:
Help educators build confidence and skills in writing and planning
Save time on documentation so you can more time with children
Make it easier to complete the full cycle of planning, from observation to evaluation
Help families feel more informed and satisfied with the learning updates they receive
