AI Lesson Planning

Full lesson and unit templates built around established pedagogical frameworks. Includes Unit Plan (structured around explicit instruction, spaced practice, and cumulative mastery), 5 E's Lesson Plan (inquiry-based sequence from engagement through evaluation), Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction, Hunter's Mastery Learning, SPARK Lesson (real-world problem-solving and design thinking), Backward Design (UbD) Organizer, and Montessori Lesson Plan.

Tools for the thinking that happens before instruction begins. Includes Learning Objective + Success Criteria (with alignment to Marzano's Taxonomy), Prior Knowledge + Scaffolding (identifying what students need to know and how to activate it), Assessment Measures, and Evidence Statements—a taxonomy of what mastery looks like at each cognitive level, from recall through synthesis and evaluation.

Scripts, demonstrations, and worked examples designed for explicit teaching. Includes Direct Instruction Script (structured around I Do / We Do / You Do with modeling, guided practice, and frequent checks for understanding), Demonstration (using the predict–observe–explain cycle), Worked Examples (step-by-step solutions with self-explanation prompts and fading scaffolds), Slides Outline, and Engagement Activities.

Multi-step tasks and larger culminating work. Includes Research Project (with source analysis, presentation criteria, and a structured work timeline), Project-Based Learning Planner, Choice Board Assignments (8 differentiated activity options), Portfolio Assignment Outline, and Project-Based Assessment (PBA).

Structured talk routines and cooperative learning frameworks designed to make student thinking visible. Includes Think-Pair-Share, Socratic Seminar (with tiered literal, interpretive, and evaluative questions), Jigsaw Activity (expert group structure with peer teaching), Concentric Circles Discussion, Gallery Walk, Round Robin, Debate, and Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures.

Question types designed to surface understanding at every cognitive level. Includes Multiple Choice Questions (with carefully constructed distractors that reflect real misconceptions), Deep Questions (moving students from concrete to abstract thinking), Taxonomy Scaffolding (questions scaffolded across all six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy), Multi-Part Questions (sequenced from foundational recall through transfer), Scenario-Based Questions, and Metacognitive Questions.

Assessment tools and progress documentation are built for both grading and learning. Includes Analytic Rubric (multi-criterion with detailed performance descriptors), Single-Point Rubric (proficiency-focused with open space for individualized feedback), Holistic Rubric, Developmental Rubric (tracking growth over time), Self-Assessment (with reflective prompts and student-facing criteria), and Report Card Comment Bank.

Outward-facing materials for families, students, and colleagues. Includes Draft Email, Class Newsletter, Student Update, Syllabus Starter, Accommodations List (8–12 specific, implementation-ready accommodations mapped to effort and impact), Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Integrator, S.M.A.R.T. Goal Outline, Restorative Circle, and Icebreaker Activities.
