The Lesson Plan Generator is a versatile AI tool designed to help educators quickly create detailed, standards-aligned lesson plans for any subject and grade level.
Whether you're planning a new unit, sub lesson, or want a quick draft to personalize, this tool offers a structured and customizable starting point for your classroom instruction.
What Can the Lesson Plan Generator Do?
The Lesson Plan Generator:
Creates comprehensive lesson plans tailored to your selected subject, grade, and length
Includes all essential components: objectives, materials, instructional steps, assessments, and reflection
Aligns to learning standards and accommodates differentiation needs
Accepts custom input or uploads to fine-tune the lesson to your classroom context
Perfect for day-to-day planning, long-term curriculum development, or instructional coaching, this tool saves time and helps ensure high-quality instruction.
Using the Tool
Select a Program (if applicable) from the dropdown menu.
Choose the Subject, Grade, and Length of the lesson.
Enter the Topic or Objective—a short description of what the lesson will cover (e.g., Analyzing symbolism in The Giver).
In Additional Lesson Criteria, type or upload details such as standards, context, or specific instructional goals.
Click Generate to create your full lesson plan.
💡Tip! The more context you provide—like previous classwork or target standards—the more tailored your plan will be. You can always revise the plan later, but giving specifics upfront leads to stronger starting points.
