Board Templates
Start every board half-built.
How do you teach?
Tutors rebuild the same warm-up, worked example and exit ticket before every lesson. Board Templates, in development, will let you save any board as a template, start the next lesson from it and share it across your program.
You rebuild the same lesson structure on a blank board every time. Soon you’ll save any board as a template and start the next lesson from it in a click.
Every class follows the same shape, but every board starts blank. Soon you’ll save boards as templates and share them across your department.
Every training uses the same exercises, rebuilt each time. Soon you’ll save any board as a template and share it with every facilitator.
Your warm-up and exit ticket look the same every day. Soon you’ll save them as board templates and start each lesson from them.
Save your workshop boards as templates and start the next workshop from them, the same for every facilitator. In development.
Your child’s lessons will follow a consistent, proven structure, whichever tutor teaches them.

The problem
Rebuilding the board before every lesson
Good lessons share a shape: warm-up, worked example, practice, exit ticket. Tutors rebuild it from a blank board every time, and each one does it differently.
The usual way
Tutors copy old boards by hand or start from scratch.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
Good lessons tend to share a shape: a warm-up, a worked example, practice, an exit ticket. Board Templates will let a tutor save any board as a template and start the next lesson from it in a click, and let your program share templates so every tutor starts from the same proven structure. It sits alongside Space Templates, which set up a whole Space. In development.
What changes
Less prep for tutors, and more consistent lessons across your program.
What we’re building
- Save any board as a template
- Start a new board from one in a click
- Share templates across your program
- Lessons that follow the same structure
What it looks like
In practice
A program saves its standard lesson board, with a warm-up, worked example, practice and exit ticket, as a template and shares it. Every tutor starts the next lesson from it in a click.
In a 1:1 lesson
Your best tutor’s SAT lesson board becomes a template every new tutor starts from.
In a group class
Your department shares one lab-report board template across every section.
In a virtual training
Every facilitator starts the onboarding module from the same board template.
In your classroom
Your daily warm-up board is a template, ready each morning.
In the training room
The workshop’s exercise board is a template, the same at every site.
At home
Your daughter’s lessons follow the same structure every week, so she knows what’s coming.
