Expectations first. Formatting last.

  1. Step 1

    Start from whatever you have.

    A topic, a PDF or Word doc, or a rough idea you talk through with CARL. It all builds on your Ontario setup.

  2. Step 2

    The plan is step one.

    Worksheets, exit tickets, success criteria and inclusive supports come from the same lesson.

  3. Step 3

    Edit anything. You decide.

    Change blocks yourself or ask CARL in plain words. AI can be wrong, sometimes confidently. Every output is an editable draft you review before it reaches students.

Ontario curriculum language

Built for how Ontario curriculum is organized.

From elementary strands to destreamed secondary courses. Where Ontario content exists for your subject and grade, lessons reference it; otherwise CARL works from your uploaded source or neutral planning language.

Overall Expectations

The strand’s big goals stay visible as the lesson takes shape.

Specific Expectations

Activities connect to the expectations your lesson addresses.

Strands & courses

Elementary strands and secondary courses, including Language (2023) and Mathematics (2020).

Assessment-aware planning

Success criteria, formative checks and rubric guidance that fit Growing Success, shaped by you.
