Pilot programme
Run a semester before your district commits.
Twelve weeks, three teachers, free. You and three colleagues use Storgy Teacher Pro to teach the AP Lit Q1 unit (or your spec equivalent) start to finish — line-by-line scaffolds, rubric-aligned model paragraphs, printable handouts. At the end you keep the lesson packs and any student data, whether your school signs on or not.
Pilot includes
Everything in Teacher Pro, plus a written pilot agreement.
- Free Storgy Teacher Pro seats for you + three colleagues for the full pilot window — 12 to 18 weeks.
- A 60-minute onboarding call so the first lesson goes well — not a pre-recorded video, an actual call.
- Asynchronous PD videos for your colleagues who don't want a call.
- Coverage Tracker vote weight on what we ship next.
- A written pilot agreement that names every data flow, every sub-processor, and what happens to your students' data on cancellation.
- A one-page evidence brief at the end of the pilot you can hand to your department chair or principal — usage metrics, what worked, what didn't.
What we ask in return
Three things. None of them are signing on.
- Honest usage — not just one teacher who liked Storgy before the pilot. Three teachers, three classes, three poetry units.
- A 20-minute check-in halfway through the pilot. We ask what we got wrong and you tell us, plainly.
- A debrief call at the end — 30 minutes, recorded if you're comfortable, anonymised if not. We learn from every pilot whether you sign or not.

Questions
Things teachers ask before paying for this.
Who runs the onboarding?
A 60-minute video call with Nikola (Storgy editor). We walk through Teacher Pro features, the AP Lit Q1 rubric overlay, the printable handouts library, and the Coverage Tracker vote weight. Recorded if you want it for absent colleagues.
What about students who don't have Storgy accounts?
Students don't need accounts to read /poems/, /devices/, /forms/, /themes/, /compare/, or any public corpus page. Free Teacher Pro seats during the pilot are for you and your colleagues; your students just visit the site. After the pilot, the School tier ($3,500-$5,500/year flat) gives every student an account with a higher AI quota; that's where SSO + Google Classroom integration land (on the roadmap for 2026).
Can we extend the pilot?
Yes — to 18 weeks if you want to cover a full mock-exam cycle. Beyond that we'd ask for a written decision either way. Indefinite pilots are how vendors string districts along; we'd rather know.
What if it doesn't work for us?
Walk away. We don't auto-convert pilot seats into paid subscriptions. You keep the lesson packs we delivered during the pilot. We send the debrief notes and ask if there's anything we should rebuild based on what we learned. No sales call sequence; no email cadence.
How does a US K-12 district fit in?
Pilot at the school level first — your school + you + three teachers. Once your principal has the one-page evidence brief, we can talk to your district's instructional technology director directly about a multi-school deal. Storgy's School tier is publishable ($3.5-5.5K/school flat, unlimited seats); the multi-school discount kicks in at five schools.
What about my AQA / Edexcel / Eduqas classroom?
/pilot/ is open to UK + Ireland teachers too — same offer, twelve to eighteen weeks free for HoD plus three colleagues. The /schools/ page has the Rachel-voice version if you'd rather start there. Either form lands in the same admin queue.
