Most AI lesson planners still make teachers do the setup work.
Generic AI tools can help with brainstorming, but teachers often have to rebuild the same context again and again: grade, subject, curriculum, timing, learner needs, language supports, activity style, and assessment preferences.
Helpful, but disconnected.
You can get a draft, but then you still need to check, re-prompt, organize, and rebuild the pieces around it.
- ×Re-enter curriculum, grade, timing, and classroom context.
- ×Prompt separately for worksheets, assessments, differentiation, and slides.
- ×Copy, paste, reformat, and organize the pieces yourself.
- ×Check whether the output actually fits your classroom.
One connected planning workflow.
CARL is designed around how teachers actually plan: preferences first, then lessons, materials, supports, revisions, and optional coverage tracking.
- Save reusable planning context for your class, subject, language mode, and needs.
- Create lessons from a topic, upload, remix, or chat-based idea.
- Add components, assessments, ELL supports, UDL pathways, and teacher guides.
- Keep teacher judgment at the centre before anything reaches students.
Free to start. No personal student data, and you stay in control of everything CARL drafts.

CARL is a Canadian-made AI lesson planning platform designed for real classroom planning, not generic content generation. Teachers stay in control of the lesson, the materials, the supports, and the final decision.
Four ways to plan, without starting from zero every time.
Use the planning path that fits your moment: a blank idea, an existing document, a shared lesson, or a conversation that helps you think it through.
Start from scratch
Enter a topic, goal, grade, subject, and planning preferences. CARL creates a structured draft you can review and revise.
Upload and enhance
Bring in PDFs, Word documents, notes, or existing plans and use CARL to organize, align, and strengthen what already works.
Remix a lesson
Browse shared lessons, create your own editable version, and adapt it for your classroom without changing the original.
Chat with CARL
Talk through an idea in plain language. CARL helps clarify the planning details before you generate the lesson.
From planning preferences to classroom-ready materials.
CARL keeps your planning context connected so the lesson, student materials, teaching supports, and optional coverage tools can build from the same setup.
Choose your setup
Select curriculum mode, grade, subject, timing, language options, and class-level planning needs.
Build the lesson
Start from scratch, upload a file, remix a lesson, or chat through your idea with CARL.
Add what goes with it
Generate connected components, assessments, facilitator guides, and inclusive teaching supports.
Review, teach, or track
Edit the lesson yourself, publish or download materials, and use Compass when you want coverage visibility.
Plan with your classroom context in mind.
CARL has built-in planning modes for Canadian provinces and territories, along with UK, US Common Core, and Mexico SEP frameworks, plus custom curriculum document options when you need a school, district, or teacher-created framework.

One lesson can become the materials that go with it.
CARL helps create the pieces teachers often need after the lesson is drafted, without sending you into a separate prompt-writing marathon.
Student materials
Generate activities, organizers, worksheets, exit slips, reflections, handouts, and formative checks connected to your lesson.
Teaching supports
Add facilitator guides, differentiation suggestions, rubric guidance, ELL scaffolds, and practical classroom notes.
Inclusive planning
Build with equity, accessibility, SEL, student voice, and trauma-informed considerations in the planning flow.
Plan in CARL. Track in Compass.
CARL helps you build the lesson. Compass helps you see what is planned, what has been taught, and what still needs attention.
