Sub plans in minutes, not at midnight
It’s 5:40 a.m., you’re sick, and the hardest part isn’t being sick, it’s leaving something a stranger can teach from. CARL turns your class context into a clear, single-day lesson with the printable materials to run it, so you can send it in and go back to bed.
Preview coming soon
A real CARL document will render here, scrollable and ready to print.
Whether you’re arranging the coverage, or you are the coverage.
Two people face the same blank page: the teacher who has to leave a plan a stranger can teach, and the substitute who walks in with nothing. CARL works for both. Describe the class and roughly where it’s at, and it drafts a self-contained, single-day lesson with the worksheets, readings, and answer key attached, enough that someone can pick it up and teach it.
Free to start. No student names, no personal data.
Three ways teachers (and subs) actually use it.
Leave a plan for a sub
Type your grade, subject, and where the class is (“Grade 7 math, we just started integers”). CARL drafts a ready-to-teach single-day lesson with printable materials in minutes. Edit, send it in, sleep.
Send the sub your real lesson
Already planning in CARL? Download or print the actual lesson or unit and hand it over, so the sub can see what came before and what comes next, not a one-off disconnected from your class.
Turn a “fun sub day” idea into a lesson
Got a go-to for a sub day, a mystery to solve, a debate, an inference challenge? Describe it and CARL builds it into a full, curriculum-connected lesson with the worksheets to run it. The engaging day you’d have done anyway, minus the prep.
Built so a stranger can pick it up and teach.
The lesson, plainly laid out
Goal, activities, and timing written to be followed, not decoded.
Student materials attached
Worksheets, readings, and organizers, printable as-is, with an answer key in the facilitator guide.
Curriculum-connected
The day builds from your provincial planning context, so it moves your coverage forward.
Editable, and yours
Change anything you like, then export or print. You stay in control of every part.
Out for more than a day? Share the whole calendar, read-only.
A mat leave, a medical absence, or any stretch longer than a sick day needs more than a single lesson, whoever’s covering has to see where the class is headed. Compass lets you share a class read-only, no workspace seat required, with an expiration date you set. They open the plan calendar and see what’s taught, what’s planned, and what’s still to come, so the room keeps moving without a binder handoff.
Read-only, and time-boxed
Share to a Compass user with an expiry date, and access ends when the coverage does.
The whole calendar, not one day
Taught, planned, and still to come across the class, at a glance.
No seat, no data risk
Class-level plan context only, not student records, and they can’t change a thing.
Sub plans are a gateway.
CARL does the rest of the week too.
The same workflow drafts your regular lessons, worksheets, assessments, and inclusive supports, aligned to your province’s curriculum, connected to Compass coverage tracking, and always under your control. Teachers who come for the emergency plan stay for the Sunday nights.
Questions teachers ask first.
Build your go-to plans before you need them.
Ten minutes today saves a 5:40 a.m. later. Your future self says thanks.
