Simply enter your subject, grade level, topic, and teaching style. For even faster planning with perfect alignment, start by unpacking a standard—then one click auto-fills everything. PlanSpark's AI instantly generates a complete, standards-aligned lesson plan with objectives, materials, procedures, assessments, and differentiation strategies in less than 60 seconds.

Absolutely! Every lesson plan is fully editable. You can modify any section, add your own activities, adjust timing, or change the format to match your teaching style. Use our AI-generated content as a starting point and make it your own. The integrated workflow maintains connections to standards and assessments even when you edit.

The lesson plan simulator is PlanSpark's unique feature that predicts how effective your lesson will be for your specific class. First, create a class profile once with student learning styles, reading levels, number of IEP/ELL/advanced students, and behavioral considerations. Then simulate any lesson plan to get predicted engagement scores (0-100%), comprehension forecasts for different ability levels, specific challenges that might arise (e.g., "ELL students may struggle with tier 3 vocabulary"), and actionable suggestions to improve the lesson before you teach it. It's like a flight simulator for teachers—practice and refine before you face 30 real students. No other AI teaching platform offers this capability.

PlanSpark offers the only integrated Standards→Lesson workflow in the market. Start by going to Standards Unpacker and pasting any complex educational standard (Common Core, NGSS, state standards). Get it broken down into teachable components in 30 seconds. Then click "Create Aligned Lesson Plan" and you're taken to the Lesson Plan Generator with everything automatically pre-filled—learning objectives (from the student-friendly text), standards code and full text, grade level, subject, and component breakdown. The AI generates a lesson that addresses every standard component with teaching strategies automatically incorporated. Perfect alignment from standard to lesson in 90 seconds total, with zero manual copying and pasting.

Yes! You can align lesson plans to Common Core (CCSS), NGSS, TEKS, C3 Social Studies, or any state or custom standards. Simply specify which standards you're addressing when creating your lesson plan, and the AI will incorporate them into the objectives and activities. For even better alignment, start by unpacking your standard in the Standards Unpacker tool first—then the lesson plan auto-fills with perfect alignment to every component of that standard. You'll also get an audit trail showing which lessons address which standards.

Yes, every lesson plan can be exported as a professionally formatted PDF. Perfect for printing for your records, sharing with colleagues or student teachers, submitting to administrators for approval, or keeping in your substitute folder. The PDF includes all sections: objectives, materials, procedures with timing, assessments, and differentiation strategies. Clean, professional format that looks great.

Absolutely! From any lesson plan detail page, click "Create Aligned Assessment" to generate quizzes that test exactly what you taught. The assessment generator automatically fills in with your lesson's topic, objectives, and grade level—no starting from scratch. You can create questions at all four Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels to ensure you're testing at the right cognitive complexity. Then build rubrics for grading and generate personalized student feedback. Complete workflow from standards through lesson through assessment—all integrated and perfectly aligned.

Less than 60 seconds once you've entered your basic information (subject, grade, topic, standards). If you start from an unpacked standard, it's even faster because everything auto-fills—just click and generate. Add another 30 seconds to simulate the lesson against your class profile. Total time from idea to simulated, ready-to-teach lesson: about 90 seconds. Compare that to the 30-60 minutes traditional lesson planning typically takes.
