Hi everyone,
We’re launching Lenny, a tool designed to help teachers and school support staff quickly create ready-to-use, evidence-based lessons and interventions for students.
Lenny is meant to support your existing work; Lenny can be used for classroom lessons, small-group instruction, special education, MTSS supports, and behavior or mental health interventions.
How to get started:
- Log in to our workspace here: https://www.lenny.com/create
- Watch the short getting-started video (about 5 minutes) here: https://www.lenny.com/resource/howtouse
- Try creating one lesson or intervention you’re already planning
We’re also doing a team-wide training on [INSERT YOUR TRAINING DATE]

We appreciate you exploring it and sharing feedback along the way.
Thank you for your time and openness to trying something new.
