Getting started

A 10-minute tour of the core flow: class profile → unit plan → lesson plan → teach → reflect.

1. Sign in and check your school

Sign in with the account your school gave you (or register). Your school — and its bell schedule of periods — is set up once by an admin under Schools; everything below assumes it exists.

2. Add your contracts and place them on My Schedule

Open My Schedule. Press Add contract, pick the subject and tick the class group(s) you teach it to (tick several for a combined set such as 401–405), then click the grid cells where that contract is taught. Repeat for each contract. Times come from the bell schedule, so nothing is typed. If your school imported the timetable workbook, your contracts are already listed — just place the periods. Each contract also appears under My classes, where you fill in the profile: class size, accommodations, and any context that should shape lessons. The richer the profile, the better AI-generated content will fit your room.

3. Build a unit plan

Open Unit Plans and create one with a date range and learning objectives. The unit plan becomes the “parent” for lesson plans and feedback within its window.

4. Generate a lesson plan

From the unit, choose a framework (we recommend starting with 5E for inquiry, Madeline Hunter for direct instruction). The AI drafts each section. Edit any section in place, regenerate the ones you don't like, and approve when ready.

5. Teach the lesson

Hit Start teaching from the lesson plan, the Today dashboard or the day agenda. Live teaching mode shows a countdown per phase, the key teaching points, and a slide-style focus on the current step, with one-tap went well / revisit marks and a quick-note box. It works on a tablet or phone propped on your desk.

6. Reflect

Press End lesson and you land on the reflection with planned-against-actual minutes for every phase, and your marks and quick notes already filled in. Add pacing, engagement and anything to change, then save. Future generations cite recent reflections, so this loop pays compounding interest.

Approx. time: 10 minutes for a first pass.
