The curriculum design platform for educators.
LessonForge brings lesson planning, assessment creation, differentiation and curriculum mapping into one place, so a standard you choose at the start of the year carries through to every lesson, question and modified version.
- Standards
- Curriculum map
- Unit
- Lesson plan
- Assessment
- Differentiated versions
Standards flow down into maps, units and lessons; assessments and differentiated versions are generated from the lesson's objectives.
Lesson Plan Generator
What it does
Generates complete, standards-aligned lesson plans with learning objectives, instructional activities, materials lists, timing guides and closure activities. Every element is editable.
Why it matters
A structured first draft removes the blank-page step, so planning time goes into adapting the lesson to your students rather than formatting it.
- New teachers create professional lesson plans without starting from scratch
- Veteran teachers refresh existing units with new activities and approaches
- Substitute teachers receive detailed plans any educator can follow
Energy flow in food webs
Objective: Students will model how energy moves through a food web and explain the role of producers, consumers and decomposers.
- Warm-up5 min
Quick write: What did you eat for breakfast, and where did its energy come from?
- Mini-lesson12 min
Model a three-link food chain; introduce producers, consumers and decomposers.
- Group activity20 min
Groups build a food web for a local pond from 12 organism cards, draw energy arrows, and label each organism as producer, consumer or decomposer.
Organism cardsLabeling checklist - Exit ticket8 min
Three questions aligned to the objective — one recall, one apply, one explain.
Assessment Builder
What it does
Creates assessments aligned to your lesson objectives at any Bloom's taxonomy level — from recall questions to performance tasks — with generated rubrics and answer keys.
Why it matters
When the assessment is built from the same objectives as the lesson, you measure what you taught, and common assessments stay consistent across a team.
- Teachers create formative checks that match daily lesson objectives
- Department heads build common assessments for grade-level consistency
- Special educators generate modified assessments for IEP goals
- Q1 · RememberMultiple choice
Which organism in the pond web is a producer?
- Q2 · ApplyDiagram
Draw the arrows showing energy flow from algae to heron.
- Q3 · AnalyzeShort answer · rubric
Predict what happens to the dragonflies if frogs disappear. Explain.
Differentiation AI
What it does
Produces modified versions of lessons and assessments for different readiness levels, English language learners and students with IEPs, including scaffolded activities and alternative assessments.
Why it matters
Differentiation is the first thing cut when time is short. Generating versions from the core lesson makes it practical every day, not just on observation days.
- Classroom teachers prepare approaching, on-level and extending tasks for one lesson
- ELL teachers add cognates, visuals and sentence frames
- Special educators draft IEP-aligned modifications for review
Curriculum Mapping
What it does
Builds scope-and-sequence documents, unit plans and year-long maps that show standards coverage, logical skill progression and pacing across the school year.
Why it matters
A visible map shows gaps and redundancies early — before a standard goes untaught or two units cover the same skill.
- Curriculum coordinators map standards coverage across grade levels
- Department teams align unit sequencing for vertical articulation
- Administrators verify standards coverage for accreditation reviews
