AI lesson planner
Describe the lesson in a sentence. Get a curriculum-aligned plan you can actually teach — then build the resources to go with it.
No card needed. 10 free AI generations every month.
Why this isn’t a blank box
Most AI planners start from nothing every time. You retype the year group, the subject, the SEND notes, the reading levels — and it still doesn’t know your class.
EdToolkit starts from a profile you save once. Year group, subject, curriculum, and the learner needs that matter. Every plan after that inherits it.
That’s the difference between a generator and a planner.
Three steps from brief to ready to teach
Add your teaching context once
Save the year or grade, subject, curriculum and the needs that matter — SEND, EAL, reading levels. One profile per class.
Describe the lesson in a sentence
“A Year 4 lesson on states of matter with a hands-on investigation.” Pick the specific curriculum outcomes you want to hit. Get a full plan in under a minute.
Refine, then build the resources
Tweak any section with AI and the change is saved to the plan. Then turn that same plan into a differentiated reading text, a formative quiz or a marking rubric — all from the context you already set.
Every classroom tool starts from your plan, not a blank box
Lesson & Unit Planner
Structured plans in the framework you actually teach with — Starter/Main/Plenary, 5E and more. Sequence a whole unit and refine any part inline.
Differentiated Text
One source text, three reading levels, each with a vocabulary list and comprehension questions. Lock the key terms so every tier uses the same scientific language.
Formative Quiz Builder
3–15 questions targeted at the misconception you choose, with answer keys and hints. Export to Google Forms (CSV) or Canvas (QTI).
Rubric Builder
Criteria-based rubrics on the scale you use — Working Towards / Expected / Greater Depth, 4-level, 3-level mastery or IB bands — plus AI-assisted feedback comments.
Curriculum Coverage
See which statutory outcomes your saved plans cover and which are still untouched, per class profile.
Export & Share
Print or save as PDF, download as Word, or copy as plain text for your school's planning template.
The part that matters when you’re observed
Plans now surface prior knowledge, likely misconceptions and success criteria — so the plan shows its reasoning, not just its shape.
Exit-ticket quiz mode and DOK levels let you check understanding at the end of the lesson instead of guessing at it.
Curriculum Coverage shows you, per class profile, which statutory outcomes your saved plans cover and which you haven’t touched. That’s the question that tends to surface in a curriculum review, and it’s the one that takes longest to answer by hand.
No pupil data required
Plans are built from your class context — year group, subject, needs — never from named children. There is nothing about your pupils to leak, because there is nothing about your pupils in the system.
UK and EU accounts are stored in UK (London) or EU data centres under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. You can delete everything yourself, instantly.
Where EdToolkit fits
An honest note. If you want a tool that lives inside Google Docs and Slides, Brisk Teaching is built for that. If you want free standards-aligned drafts tied to a video library, Khanmigo and JoVE do that well. If you want ready-made daily lessons delivered rather than planned, that’s a different job entirely.
EdToolkit is for teachers who plan their own lessons and want the plan, the reading text, the quiz and the rubric to come from the same context — so they line up with each other, and with your curriculum outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The Free plan gives you 10 AI generations every month with the full lesson and unit planner, classroom profiles, coverage tracking and exports. You only pay if you want unlimited generations and the Pro resource tools.
Does it know my curriculum?
You choose your curriculum when you set up a class profile — the National Curriculum for England, Common Core, the Australian Curriculum, Cambridge and others — and pick the specific outcomes each plan should address. Coverage is tracked against those outcomes.
Will the plans sound like my teaching?
Plans follow the pedagogical framework you select (Starter/Main/Plenary, 5E and others) and use your saved class context, including SEND, EAL and reading-level flags. Any section can be refined with AI and the accepted changes are saved to the plan.
Can I use the resources with my school's systems?
Plans export to PDF, Word and plain text. Quizzes export to CSV for Google Forms and QTI for Canvas and other learning platforms. Rubrics can be printed or copied as a table.
How do I cancel?
Open Billing inside the app and choose Manage subscription. You'll be taken to a secure billing portal where you can cancel in a couple of clicks. You keep Pro access until the end of the period you've paid for.
