Lesson Plan

Q: How do I know the Lesson Plan output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Objectives are measurable and student-facing (observable verbs, not "understand"); The timed flow sums to the lesson length; Includes at least two checks for understanding; Differentiation covers both support and extension.

What to give it

▸Topic / subject — and grade or age level

▸Lesson length — (e.g. 45 min) and format (in-person, remote, hybrid)

▸Standards / curriculum (optional) — to align to (optional — note if to be adapted)

▸Class context — size, range of abilities, language needs

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Objectives are measurable and student-facing (observable verbs, not "understand")

✓The timed flow sums to the lesson length

✓Includes at least two checks for understanding

✓Differentiation covers both support and extension

✓Assessment maps directly back to the objectives

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Objectives that can't be observed or measured ("students will appreciate…")

A flow that's all teacher talk with no student practice

No formative checks until a final test

One-size-fits-all with no differentiation
