Expectations first. Formatting last.
Ontario planning starts with the curriculum: which overall expectations the lesson serves, which specific expectations it touches, and how the learning will eventually show up in assessment and reporting. Generic AI tools don’t hold any of that context. You end up pasting expectation codes into a chat window, checking the output line by line, and reformatting everything for your binder or your admin.
CARL holds the Ontario context for you. Set the grade, subject, strand, and timing once, and every lesson draft, worksheet, and assessment CARL creates builds from that same setup. Edit anything. Nothing reaches students without you.
Free to start. No student names, no personal data.
Built for how Ontario curriculum is actually organized.
CARL supports planning with the structure Ontario teachers work inside every day, from elementary strands to destreamed secondary courses.
Overall Expectations
Keep the big learning goals of the strand visible while the lesson takes shape.
Specific Expectations
Connect activities and practice to the detailed expectations your lesson actually addresses.
Strands & courses
Plan within elementary strands or secondary course structures, including the current Language (2023) and Mathematics (2020) curricula.
Assessment-aware planning
Draft success criteria, formative checks, and rubric guidance that fit Growing Success-style assessment thinking, shaped and approved by you.
One tool, a lot of Ontario planning moments.
Sunday-night planning
Draft Monday’s lesson from a topic and your class context, then adjust the parts that need your judgment.
Long-range plans meeting reality
When the long-range plan says “fractions” and the calendar says “tomorrow,” CARL turns the line item into a teachable lesson.
Destreamed classes
Build differentiated entry points, scaffolds, and extensions for Grade 9 classrooms with a wide range of readiness.
French as a Second Language
Add French vocabulary support, student-facing French materials, or teacher notes in English for Core French and Immersion settings.
Refreshing an old binder
Upload a lesson written under the old Language curriculum and rework it around current expectations.

Made in Canada. Hosted in Canada. No personal student data.

Plan lessons in CARL. See your coverage in Compass.
Ontario has a lot of expectations to keep track of. Compass shows what you’ve taught, what’s planned, and which expectations still need attention, and its Plan Ideas connect straight back into CARL so gaps become lessons.
Questions Ontario teachers ask first.
Start with the lesson you’re already planning.
Bring a topic, an old plan, or a half-formed idea. CARL drafts, you decide.
