Overview
A lesson plan is paperwork with a real purpose: it forces you to decide what the students will actually do, in what order, and how you will know it worked. The Studio does the paperwork so you can spend your time on those decisions.
You pick a chapter from the platform's curriculum, choose the format your school or university expects, and get a complete plan — objectives, timed segments, teacher moves, the questions you will ask with their expected answers, a blackboard summary, likely misconceptions and a home assignment. Every part of it is editable, and anything you rewrite teaches the Studio how you like to plan.
The four formats
These are not stylistic variants of one template. Each is a distinct pedagogical structure that a different institution actually asks for, and each produces a differently-shaped plan.
| Format | What it is and who asks for it |
|---|---|
| CBSE competency-based | The official CBSE / British Council format — timed blocks with an assessment column running alongside. What CBSE schools ask their teachers to submit, and the format built around competencies rather than content coverage. |
| Herbartian five-step | Preparation → Presentation → Association → Generalisation → Application, with objectives, previous knowledge testing and a blackboard summary. The B.Ed and school-inspection standard across most Indian universities. |
| 5E inquiry (NEP 2020) | Engage → Explore → Explain → Elaborate → Evaluate. The inquiry-led structure NEP 2020 pushes, where students reach the concept before you state it. |
| Coaching lecture plan | Concept → worked examples → the traps students fall into → DPP. For JEE, NEET, UPSC and board-crash faculty, where a lecture is judged on problems solved per hour. |
Building a plan
- Pick the chapter. Board, class, subject and chapter come from the real curriculum tree, so you can only choose a chapter that actually has content behind it.
- Pick the format from the four above.
- Set the period length — the segment timings are budgeted to add up to it, so a 40-minute plan really is 40 minutes.
- Add anything specific you want covered, in your own words.
- Generate the outline — title, learning outcomes and the segment spine. Check the shape before committing to a full plan.
- Expand to the full plan — every segment gets teacher moves, student activity, a question with its expected answer, and its share of the clock.
Where the content comes from
The plan is built from the actual chapter in the platform's curriculum — the chapter body, its learning outcomes, key formulas, common mistakes, NCERT exercises and revision points — not from the chapter's title. That is why the questions it suggests are answerable from what your students have actually been taught, and why the misconceptions it lists are the ones that chapter genuinely produces.
Editing and refining
Every field is editable in place — click the text and type. Beyond that:
- Refine one segment. Give a one-line instruction (“make this more activity-led”, “cut it to 10 minutes”) and only that segment is regenerated. The rest of your plan is untouched.
- Re-time. Change a segment's minutes and the plan re-totals, so you can see immediately whether you have overrun the period.
- Add or remove segments where your class needs a different shape from the template.
Blackboard figures
The Studio draws labelled diagrams you can actually reproduce on a blackboard — a factor-pair table, a ray diagram, a circuit, a cell. Each one comes with the steps to draw it in order, so you are not reverse-engineering a picture in front of the class.
Figures are vector drawings generated on the server, sanitised against an allowlist before they are stored and sanitised again in the browser before they are drawn. Nothing scripted or externally-loaded can reach the page.
It learns your style
When you edit a generated plan substantially, the Studio compares what it wrote with what you kept and distils the difference into durable rules — things like “always assign homework from the textbook, not custom problems” or “state the lesson aim on the board at the start”. Those rules are applied to every plan you generate afterwards.
Only a substantial edit teaches it anything — fixing a typo will not rewrite your style profile. You can review and delete any rule it has learned.
Export and share
- PDF — laid out as a document, not a screenshot of a web page, so it prints and submits cleanly.
- Print — the plan only, without the dashboard around it.
- Copy as text — for pasting into a school template or a WhatsApp group.
Common questions
Can I use it for a chapter that is not on the platform?
The chapter picker is limited to the curriculum, because grounding is the point. For anything outside it, pick the closest chapter and use the extra-instructions box.
Does it work for bilingual classrooms?
Yes — set the medium and the plan is produced with the teaching language you actually use, including Devanagari where relevant.
Will two teachers get the same plan for the same chapter?
No. Beyond ordinary variation, each teacher's style profile pulls their plans toward how they teach.
