Nova Scotia context

Outcomes 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 Nova Scotia 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.

Nova Scotia curriculum language
