What is CLARA

The classroom intelligence engine inside Stella

CLARA is the system that closes the loop between what happens in your classrooms and what happens in them tomorrow. It reads, it thinks, it plans — overnight, automatically, for every classroom in your school.

Before CLARA, lesson planning was a teacher's Sunday evening. Class records were filed and occasionally reviewed. Progress testing happened on a fixed date regardless of what had actually been taught. Student progress sat in folders that nobody had time to synthesise.

With CLARA, every record is read every day. Every lesson plan is built from live data about that specific group of students. Every assessment tests what was actually taught. And every teacher receives personalised professional feedback before the next morning.

CLARA does not replace teachers. It removes everything that stands between a teacher and the act of teaching.

The acronym, unpacked
C

Continuous

CLARA never stops. There is no test week, no review month, no scheduled report date. The loop runs every single night for every classroom in the school.

L

Learning

The system learns from what it reads. The longer CLARA runs in your school, the more accurately it understands your students, your teachers, and your academic rhythms.

A

Adaptive

Every lesson plan, every assessment, every piece of student feedback is adapted to the specific group — their level, their history, their pace, their needs on that day.

R

Response

CLARA responds to what it reads — not to a template. Yesterday's class record directly shapes tomorrow's lesson. A student's question on the platform shapes this week's content.

A

Agent

CLARA acts autonomously. It does not wait to be asked. Every night, without prompting, it analyses, generates, and delivers — ready before the first teacher arrives.


How CLARA builds a lesson plan

Four sources. One perfect morning.

Each lesson plan CLARA generates is the intersection of four distinct data sources — all produced the day before, all specific to that classroom and those students. No two lesson plans are the same.

Source 01 📚
Daily syllabus
The academic objectives scheduled for that day — grammar points, vocabulary sets, communicative functions — drawn from the school's structured curriculum.
→ Sets the destination for the lesson
Source 02 📋
Yesterday's class record
The teacher's Record of Work from the previous session — what was delivered, what worked, what didn't land, which objectives were fully met and which need revisiting.
→ Tells CLARA where the class actually is
Source 03 💬
Student conversations
Messages, questions, and interactions from the Stella communication platform. What students have been asking their teacher. What grammar they queried with Sarah. What topics came up.
→ Reveals what students need right now
Source 04 📁
Previous class reports
The accumulated history of that classroom — all prior Records of Work, CLARA's own analyses, and assessed progress over the student group's time at the school.

Ready by 7am
Complete · Personalised · Syllabus-aligned

Example lesson plan — Intermediate B1 · Tuesday morning

Warm-up (10 min)
Review of reported speech from Monday — 3 students showed confusion in class record. Quick elicitation exercise before moving forward.
Main input (25 min)
Introduction to passive voice — scheduled in today's syllabus. Build from reported speech foundation covered yesterday. Use transport/news context (students asked about Irish news vocabulary this week).
Personalisation note from CLARA
Two students in this group are preparing for IELTS — passive voice is high-frequency in academic writing. Add one IELTS-style sentence transformation task in the practice phase.
Practice & production (20 min)
Guided practice → communicative activity. This group responds well to pair discussion tasks (strong in last 3 class records). Avoid individual written work — pace drops significantly.
A note on teacher autonomy: CLARA's lesson plans are the academic direction set by the school's management and systems. Teachers deliver the plan as received. If a teacher identifies something that needs adjustment, they raise it with the Director of Studies — CLARA's output reflects the best available data, and any deviation should be a considered academic decision, not an in-classroom improvisation.

Inside the loop

What CLARA does every night

The process runs automatically, in sequence, for every classroom. No human intervention required.

1

Teachers file Records of Work

At the end of each day, every teacher submits their class record through the Stella platform — what was taught, how the group responded, which objectives were met, and any observations about individual students.

CLARA receives these records as they are filed. The nightly processing run begins when all records are in.
2

CLARA reads and analyses each record

For every classroom, CLARA analyses the day's record against the historical pattern for that group. It identifies what landed well, what needs reinforcement, which students show signals of difficulty, and how the class is tracking against the syllabus schedule.

It then generates personalised professional feedback for the teacher — specific, constructive, and ready before the next morning.

3

Lesson plan constructed from four sources

CLARA pulls the next day's syllabus objective, cross-references it against the class record analysis, reads student platform activity from the past 24 hours, and reviews the accumulated history of that group. It then generates a complete, structured lesson plan — timed, sequenced, and annotated with personalisation notes.

The plan includes suggested activities, timing guidance, differentiation notes, and — where relevant — specific observations about individual students that the teacher should be aware of.
4

Real-time progress assessment runs

Based on everything covered in that classroom over the previous two weeks, CLARA generates assessment tasks — questions, activities, and writing prompts that test exactly what those students have actually been taught. Not a fixed test. Not a generic benchmark. A live assessment built from the Record of Work.

5

Everything is ready before 7am

Teachers arrive to a complete lesson plan waiting in their Stella dashboard. Assessment tasks are queued. Teacher feedback is delivered. The school has a full picture of every classroom's state — without anyone having worked through the night.

The loop then begins again. The lesson delivered today becomes tomorrow's Source 02. The system gets more accurate the longer it runs.

Student progress reports

A letter from CLARA. Every two weeks.

Every student receives a personal progress report from CLARA every fortnight — not a generated summary, but a genuinely useful letter that tells them exactly where they are, what they have achieved, and what to focus on next.

📈
Progress summary

What the student has covered in the past two weeks, how they have performed, and how they are tracking against their original learning goals.

🎯
Strengths identified

Specific areas where the student is performing well — drawn from class record observations, assessment data, and teacher feedback over the period.

🔍
Areas to focus on

Honest, constructive identification of where the student needs more work — with specific suggestions, not generic advice. If a student has struggled with conditionals, CLARA says so — and suggests what to do about it.

📖
Personalised study recommendations

Suggested activities, resources, or focus areas for the student's own time — calibrated to their level and to what has been covered in class. Genuinely useful, not generic.

📅
What's coming next

A brief preview of the academic content coming up in the next two weeks — so students can arrive to class prepared rather than surprised.

Why fortnightly? CLARA is designed to be useful, not intrusive. Weekly reports would become noise. Monthly reports would lose timeliness. A two-week cycle gives enough data to say something meaningful — and gives students enough time to act on the feedback before the next one arrives.

Progress Report from CLARA

For Maria · B1 Intermediate · Week 6–7 · 20 May 2026

Dear Maria,
It has been a strong two weeks. You have covered reported speech, passive voice, and an introduction to modal verbs — and your written work in class has shown real improvement in sentence variety.

✓ Your use of reported speech in last Tuesday's writing task was confident and accurate — one of the strongest in the group. Your teacher noted you are beginning to use it naturally in conversation too.

One area to keep working on: passive voice in questions. Your statements are good, but the question form ("Was it built in 1920?") is still causing some hesitation. I have included a short exercise below that should help.
For the next two weeks, your class will be moving into conditionals — starting with first conditional next Monday. You might find it useful to review the present simple before then, as it forms the base of the structure.

📖 Recommended this week: Read one short news article and underline any passive structures you find. Try to rewrite two of them as active sentences. This takes about 10 minutes and makes a real difference.

Everything CLARA knows stays with you

CLARA runs on your school's own dedicated NVIDIA hardware. Every analysis, every lesson plan, every student report is generated on-site — nothing is transmitted to external AI providers.

🖥️

On-premises NVIDIA hardware

CLARA runs on a dedicated appliance installed in your school. Student records, class data, and personal information are processed locally — never in a shared cloud environment.

🇪🇺

European AI models

CLARA uses open-weight AI models of European origin by preference — no dependency on US hyperscalers, no data flowing across jurisdictions.

📋

Accreditation-body ready

All Records of Work, attendance data, and assessment records are stored in auditable formats aligned with the requirements of bodies including QQI, Equals, and the British Council.

🔒

GDPR by architecture

Compliance is not a checkbox — it is engineered in. Data cannot leave your infrastructure because there is no mechanism to send it anywhere.

📡

Outbound tunnel only

The appliance connects to Buongiorno for updates and remote maintenance via an encrypted WireGuard tunnel. No inbound ports. No data flows outbound.

🏫

Built inside a real school

CLARA was built and tested at Travelling Languages, an accredited English language school in Dublin — with real students, real teachers, and real GDPR obligations from day one.

The Buongiorno data promise

Every school that adopts CLARA receives its own dedicated hardware, configured and maintained by the Buongiorno team. No student data is ever shared with any external AI provider, cloud platform, or third party. This is an engineering commitment, not a policy one — and it applies to every school, every student, every day that CLARA runs.
