Standards Based Lesson Plan Creator FAQ

Q: How is this different from the basic Lesson Plan Creator?
A: This version starts with the standard. You choose the academic standard first, and the tool builds a lesson plan around it, ensuring everything stays aligned from the start.

Q: How do I find the right standard to start from?
A: Use the built-in standards browser. You can filter by state, subject, and grade level to quickly find what you need.

Q: Can I plan lessons for multiple standards at once?
A: Yes. You can select more than one standard, and the tool will help align the lesson to all of them.

Q: Will it show me which curriculum materials match the standard?
A: Yes. Once you choose your standard, the tool suggests curriculum-aligned resources from Imagine Learning you can use in your lesson.

Q: How do I know if my plan is compliant or aligned?
A: Your plan will include a section that will show alignment to the appropriate standards.

Q: What lesson components are auto-filled based on the standard?
A: The tool can automatically fill in the objective, key activities, assessment ideas, and differentiation strategies that match the chosen standard.  This is all editable.

Q: Can I modify or override AI-generated content?
A: Yes. Everything the tool suggests can be edited, updated, or removed. You stay in full control of the final plan.

Q: Is this useful for evaluation or observation prep?
A: Yes. Because it aligns each part of the plan to your standards, it helps ensure your lesson meets requirements and is ready for review.

Q: Does it work for my state’s standards?
A: Yes. It supports standards for all 50 states, so you can plan with confidence no matter where you teach.

Q: How do I export these plans for my admin or coach?
A: You can export these plans to a PDF document by pressing the "Print" button.
