Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from BC educators about using CARL's AI lesson builder

CARL mascot with question

Can I upload my existing lessons to CARL?

Yes! Upload lessons in any format (PDF, Word, Google Doc, or even just notes). Our AI analyzes your lesson, structures it with learning objectives and curriculum alignment, then suggests enhancements like differentiation, SEL integration, and UDL frameworks. You review every suggestion and keep full control—accept, modify, or reject any changes. It's your expertise enhanced by AI, not replaced by it.

Does CARL replace my teaching expertise?

No—CARL enhances it. You bring the pedagogical decisions, classroom knowledge, and understanding of your students. CARL's AI handles the time-consuming scaffolding: generating differentiated activities, suggesting engagement hooks, adding curriculum alignments, and structuring lessons with research-backed frameworks. You're always in control.

Do I need AI experience to use CARL?

Not at all. CARL is designed for teachers, not tech experts. Simply describe your lesson idea in plain language, and CARL handles the rest. Most educators create their first lesson within 10 minutes of signing up.

How accurate is the BC curriculum alignment?

CARL is trained on the complete BC curriculum. Every lesson automatically tags relevant learning standards, competencies, and big ideas. You always have full control to adjust or add connections.

What if I don't like what the AI suggests?

Every element is fully editable. Change activities, modify assessments, adjust difficulty, or rewrite entire sections. CARL provides suggestions and frameworks—you decide what works for your classroom. Think of it as a very smart teaching assistant, not a replacement.

Are the lessons actually classroom-ready?

CARL lessons include detailed activity instructions, material lists, timing guides, differentiation strategies, and assessment rubrics. They're designed by practicing BC teachers and tested in real classrooms. You get complete lessons, not just ideas.

Can I share lessons with my colleagues?

Absolutely. Share lessons privately with your team or publish to the BC educator community. When you remix someone else's lesson, both the original creator and your adaptations are credited. It's designed for collaboration, not competition.

Two Ways In, One Destination

Every CARL lesson opens with two engagement hooks that bridge curriculum to student experience. Choose the one that fits your class, or let students pick their own entry point.

Hook A: Story & Narrative

"Think about a massive online game with a huge story. A 'canon event' is a moment so important that it changes everything for the characters and the world's future. It defines their story from that point on. What makes a moment in a game's story feel like a true turning point that everyone will remember?"

Hook B: Sports & Community

"When a sports team wins a major championship, it can feel like the whole city or country celebrates. These victories often become part of a community's identity, retold for years. What transforms a single game into a legendary moment that people feel a personal connection to long after it is over?"

Two pathways, same learning: Both hooks explore what makes moments "defining"—one through story structure, one through community experience. Same concept, different entry points.

Hook A: Game Design

"Imagine you are a video game designer creating a complex new character ability. You know the final powerful effect you want, but you need to figure out which two simpler, basic spells must be combined to produce it. How would you work backward from the final effect to discover the necessary ingredients?"

Hook B: Detective Work

"Think about a detective solving a case. They have the final outcome—the crime scene—but they need to find the two key motives that, when combined, led the suspect to act. How does breaking a big event down into its core components help the detective build their case and prove their theory?"

Two pathways, same learning: Both hooks frame factoring as working backward to find component parts—one through creative design, one through analytical investigation.

The Pattern: Every lesson offers two entry points to the same learning. One student connects through gaming while another prefers sports analogies. One relates to cooking while another thinks of medicine. Different hooks, same destination—so every student finds a way in.

Built-In Supports

Inclusion Built In, Not Bolted On

Research-backed supports automatically woven into every lesson—making teaching more accessible, inclusive, and engaging without adding to your workload.

Universal Design for Learning

CARL focuses on access—removing barriers so every student can participate. Multiple ways to take in content and demonstrate learning, using materials you already have.

Example: Grade 5 Fractions

CARL provides: "Present fractions visually AND verbally: draw fraction bars on the board while explaining aloud. For output, accept drawn models, written explanations, or verbal descriptions—same learning, different access points."

✓ Removes barriers to participation
✓ Works with materials you have
✓ Genuine choices, not just preferences
