4. Save Changes before starting a new plan.

1. Go to Settings → Curriculum → Saved Class Profiles, then Add Profile.
2. Fill in the details you want CARL to remember: Basics (name, grade, subject, language, period length, class size), Location, Tech, and Learners.
3. Click Update Profile, then Save Changes — it’s a two-step save.

1. When you create a lesson, use Select class on the Start planning screen.
2. CARL applies that profile’s context to the lesson it builds.

1. Open Create / New Lesson. You land on Start planning.
2. Type what you’re teaching in your own words (e.g. “a 60-minute Grade 8 science lesson on cells, with a hands-on activity”). The more detail, the more CARL pre-fills.
3. Optional: Attach a file to build from, Select class to apply a Saved Class Profile, or flip “Not sure? Keep chatting” to talk it through first.
4. Press Start lesson plan →. CARL opens “Let’s build your lesson,” with the fields auto-populated from what you typed.
5. Check or adjust subject, grade (single or split), duration, and the learning goal. (Use Get CARL’s Input for a suggested goal.)
6. Optional: add context chips — Success indicators, Classroom & space, Technology, Learners & accessibility, Notes.
7. Click Generate lesson plan.

1. On a Saved Class Profile — set the language mode for the class if every lesson is the same.
2. While creating a lesson — open the language / mode option, choose English, French, or Spanish, and confirm. CARL generates the lesson in that language.

1. Hover the section and click its format control (the circle of dots).
2. Choose Turn into.
3. Switch it to Text or a list — that clears the bad formatting.
4. Then turn it into the format you actually want.

1. Click Ask CARL in the toolbar to open the popover.
2. Pick a quick action (Improve this lesson, Improve writing, Make longer, Make shorter, Fix spelling & grammar, Simplify language, Languages) — or type your own request.
3. CARL generates a result in the popover.
4. Choose Insert below (add it as a block), Accept, Discard, or Try again.

• Stage 1 — Learning Standards: the province/curriculum-specific levels (key concepts, essential skills, learning objectives, core content), pulled from your curriculum.
• Stage 2 — Assessment Evidence: summative tasks, formative checks, and a proficiency scale (BEG · DEV · PRO · ADV).
• Stage 3 — Learning Experiences: the 5E / BOPPPS hybrid flow (Engage → Explore → Explain → Apply → Reflect) with I-do / We-do / You-do, plus inline Recommended Worksheets.
• Stage 4 — Reflect & Revise: post-teaching reflection prompts.

• Components — student-facing activities, worksheets, and assessments (each arrives with its facilitator guide).
• Teaching Resources — teacher-facing supports (Lesson & Unit Enhancements plus ELL supports).
• Blocks — smaller pieces you drag into the lesson (text, tables, organizers, image areas).

Components and Teaching Resources live in the Tools panel; Blocks has its own panel.
