The lesson plan generator is an AI-powered tool from Padlet TA. It helps teachers quickly create comprehensive lesson plans aligned to educational standards. By providing a few key details about your lesson, the tool generates a complete plan with objectives, activities, assessments, and materials — saving you valuable time that can be redirected toward student interaction and classroom engagement.
How it works
- Visit the lesson plan generator at https://ta.padlet.com/lesson-plan
- Fill out the required prompts (marked with an asterisk): grade level/year and topic/standard
- Add optional additional context, including files and links
- Click the arrow to generate your lesson plan
Once you create the lesson plan, you can review it. You can also adjust the prompt and regenerate a new lesson plan.
When you are satisfied, you can use the export options to copy the text, export it to Google Docs or PDF, share a link to the output, or duplicate the prompt.
