What's a Saved Class Profile?

It's a snapshot of your classroom context — grade, subject, tech setup, learner needs, and more. Once saved, CARL pulls it into the lesson creation wizard automatically, so you don't have to re-enter the same details every time. Create one profile per class and switch between them as needed.

Find Saved Class Profiles

Open Settings — either from the bottom-left of the dashboard sidebar, or by clicking your profile image in the top-right corner of the screen. Select the Curriculum tab, then click Saved Class Profiles in the submenu. Click Add Profile to create a new one.

Note: You can create multiple profiles — one per class, period, or context. Switch between them each time you start a new lesson.

Fill Out Your Class Details

Walk through the four setup steps. The more detail you provide, the better CARL can tailor every lesson to your specific classroom.

Step	What You'll Set
Basics	Class name, grade, subject, language, period length, and class size
Location	Indoor, outdoor, or virtual setting and room type
Tech	Presentation equipment, student devices, platforms, and internet reliability
Learners	IEP, reading level, attention and executive function, enrichment, behaviour and SEL considerations, plus free-text notes

Pro Tip: The class and learner context fields are where CARL gets the most useful information. Even a few notes about your class's learning needs can meaningfully change how your lesson is generated.

Keep student info anonymous: Do not enter any personally identifiable information about students. Describe needs in general terms — for example, "students with reading support needs" rather than names or specific details. CARL only needs the general picture to do its job.

All-subjects teachers: You'll need one profile per subject — which is actually helpful if your students have different IEP or support needs depending on the subject. If a lot of your learner info is the same across subjects, write it once in a doc and copy/paste it into each profile you create.

Split-grade classes: We haven't added split-grade support to profiles yet, but we're working on it!

Save Your Profile

When you're done filling in your class details, you need to click two buttons to save everything properly.

Important — click both buttons: First click Update Profile to save your profile settings, then click Save Changes in the bottom-right corner to commit everything. Skipping either step means your profile won't save correctly.

Select Your Profile When Creating

Click to enlarge

Go to the Create page and choose your creation method — Start from Scratch, Upload & Enhance, or Chat with CARL. Click the Choose teaching profile strip at the bottom of the card, then select your saved class from the dropdown. Your profile is now active for this lesson.

Note: Your profile selection applies to this lesson only — it doesn't set a permanent default. This lets you easily switch profiles for different classes without changing any settings.

Fill In the Essentials, Then Skip Ahead

With your profile selected, enter your Topic, Learning Goal, and Success Indicators. Since CARL already knows your class details from the profile, you can click Skip to Review to jump straight to generating your lesson — no need to re-enter grade, subject, or context every time.

Pro Tip: Topic, Learning Goal, and Success Indicators are the only fields you need to fill in every time. Everything else lives in your profile.

Set It Once, Skip It Every Time

Head to Settings, create your first profile, and knock out that first lesson in half the time.
