Lesson plan generator

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.
