Ran a paper board with sticky notes representing student pulses. Coaches immediately asked for a ‘quiet but capable’ filter.

Catch the quiet struggle before the grade drops
Most edtech celebrates scores. Mira’s story is about noticing students who go quiet — with evidence from real teacher interviews.

Teachers rarely need another dashboard. They need a calmer way to notice who’s stuck.
After six interviews, a clear pattern: sticky notes and spreadsheets still carry the soft signals.
PulseBoard is my Hult Summer Cohort project — a lightweight pulse + board that flags quiet students without public ranking.
Looking for pilot classrooms. Happy to walk through the paper prototype.

Building PulseBoard in the Hult Summer Cohort: a 60-second student pulse that helps teachers spot quiet struggle early — not another grade leaderboard.
Paper prototype done. Pilot classrooms wanted.

Quiet ≠ fine.
PulseBoard helps teachers see soft signals before grades drop. Built in the Hult Summer Cohort.
Paper board → digital filters next. Pilot teachers: say hi.
Partner summary
PulseBoard is an early-stage classroom tool that turns brief student check-ins into a private support board for teachers. Evidence so far: six teacher interviews and a validated paper prototype. Seeking pilot schools and instructional coaches for a spring trial.

Peer endorsements from builders in the Hult Summer Cohort.
As someone wrestling with plain language in clinics, I’m impressed by Mira’s insistence that PulseBoard never becomes a public ranking board. Solid cohort neighbor energy — hope the spring pilots land.
Building ShadeMap beside Mira’s PulseBoard work in the Hult Summer Cohort has been a good reminder that ‘quiet signals’ matter in classrooms and on hot streets. Her teacher interviews make the product feel grounded — cheering her pilot classroom search.
