For K-12 & higher-ed educators

Plan standards-aligned lessons for every learner in your room.

LessonForge drafts lesson plans, assessments and curriculum maps aligned to the standards you teach, then produces differentiated versions for students who need more support or more challenge. You edit; it does the first draft.

The problem

Good planning happens. It just happens on Sunday night.

Writing a lesson, aligning it to standards, building the assessment and then rewriting it for three readiness levels is hours of work per lesson — and differentiation is usually what gets cut.

Planning without LessonForge
  • Start each lesson plan from a blank document
  • Look up standards codes and paste them in by hand
  • Write one version of the activity and hope it fits everyone
  • Discover in May that a standard was never taught
Planning with LessonForge
  • Start from a structured draft with objectives and timing
  • Standards are attached to every objective and question
  • Approaching, on-level and extending versions in one click
  • A curriculum map shows coverage gaps while there's time to fix them
Features

One planner for the whole job.

How it works

From standard to ready-to-teach.

  1. Step 1

    Pick standards and grade

    Choose the grade band, subject and the standards the lesson must hit.

  2. Step 2

    Review the draft

    LessonForge drafts objectives, timed activities, materials and an exit ticket.

  3. Step 3

    Differentiate

    Generate approaching, on-level and extending versions, plus ELL and IEP supports.

  4. Step 4

    Teach and share

    Export to PDF or Google Docs, or add it to your team's shared library.
