HOW IT WORKS

From “What do they need?”
to “Here’s our plan.”

Start with student feedback, or use priorities you already know.

STEP 01

Ask students what they need.

Choose a grade level and print the questionnaire. Each sheet has two copies. Students choose what they want to practice without adding their names.

Common questions

Can I build a year plan around student needs?

Yes. Print a questionnaire for your students’ grade level, count their answers, and enter the totals. Leave out names and individual responses. Year Planner suggests monthly topics based on the most common answers. You can change them. Adjust the topics and objectives, add your program goals, then save and download a PDF for principal review. Questionnaires, planning recommendations, and plan downloads use no AI credits. Create an account to use Year Planner.

Does the year plan include finished lessons and resources?

The plan includes monthly topics, objectives, editable planning reasons, and the activity descriptions you add. You prepare materials separately: open a lesson, worksheet, or family-message tool with the topic filled in, then choose whether to generate a draft. Each AI draft or revision uses one credit. You can also link materials you have already saved.

What is Counselora?

Counselora is an AI-assisted workspace for school counselors. Create resources, plan classroom lessons and small groups, draft student support materials and communications, and keep your work together in one place.

What can I try for free?

Use Year Planner, print needs questionnaires, and download your year plan without spending AI credits. New accounts also receive 5 trial AI credits in total. Creating a new AI draft or asking Cora for a revision uses one credit. The trial credits do not renew monthly. You can keep manually editing, saving, and exporting your existing work after your credits run out.

How do subscriber credits work?

Paid subscribers receive 50 AI credits per calendar month, resetting at the start of each month in UTC. Each new AI draft or revision uses one credit. Manual editing, saving, and exporting existing work do not use AI credits.

Can I edit what the AI creates?

Yes. Cora gives you a draft you can change. You choose which revisions to apply and can edit the content yourself. Check for mistakes, make sure it suits your students, and follow your school’s policies.

Can I save and use my materials outside Counselora?

Yes. Save your work and come back to it in My Work. Download resources and plans as PDFs, or copy messages into your email or messaging app.

I already subscribe. Do I need a new subscription?

No. Existing recurring subscribers keep their current subscription and price. When your account moves to the new platform, the sign-in page will guide you through setting a password. You don’t need to purchase another subscription.

BUILT FROM SCHOOL COUNSELING EXPERIENCE

Made by a school counselor.

Founded by Benjamin Raskin, M.S., PPS, LMFT, CSAT-C, with eight years of experience as a school counselor at a Los Angeles middle school.

Cora gives you a draft, not a finished answer. Check it for mistakes and make sure it works for your students. Use made-up examples and leave out confidential student information.
