AI Curriculum & Unit Plan Generator for Teachers

A Whole Course Is a Brutal Blank Page.

The Problem

How many exams should there be? What goes in each lesson across an entire term? How do you check real learning now that every student has a chatbot in their pocket? Answer a short, mostly multiple-choice intake and the planner drafts a full curriculum, so you skip the blank page and spend your time on the judgment calls that actually need a teacher.

The Sample

From a Short Intake to a Full-Year Draft.

Sample Only. Ms. Carla Jiménez, a fictional teacher, asked for a full-year AP Biology course at the high-school level, meeting five times a week, with a high priority on AI-resistant assessment. Here is an excerpt of the curriculum the planner drafted for her to customize. The enzyme-lab short answer from it is graded in the Rubric sample, and one student's recommendation is drafted in the Letter sample. This is the full sample that used to sit on its own page, now built right into this one.

The Drafted Curriculum

Course Overview

AP Biology

High School AP (College Board) Full Year (About 36 Weeks)

A full-year laboratory course organized around the four AP Biology Big Ideas: Evolution, Energetics, Information Storage and Transmission, and Systems Interactions. The course balances conceptual depth with the science practices, and assessment leans heavily on in-class and lab-based work so that understanding is demonstrated in front of the teacher.

Essential Questions

How does evolution explain both the unity and the diversity of life?
How do living systems capture, store, and use energy and information?
How do interactions across scales keep biological systems stable?

Learning Goals

Apply the AP science practices to design and analyze investigations.
Model the flow of energy and information through biological systems.
Use evidence to construct and defend explanations and arguments.

Recommended Textbook

Campbell Biology, Urry and others (Pearson). The most widely adopted text for AP Biology, organized around the same Big Ideas this course follows.

Assessment Plan (Excerpt)

Built to Resist AI Shortcuts

A Standard Take-Home

Unit 1 Take-Home Essay · Essay · 100 Pts

A take-home essay on the chemistry of life and enzyme function, written at home and submitted online over the weekend.

No Defense against a Chatbot: written at home, unsupervised, on a prompt a chatbot answers in seconds. Nothing here shows the student did the thinking.

Suggested Rubric

Concept Mastery · 60 pts – Accuracy and depth on macromolecules and enzymes.
Written Argument · 40 pts – A clear, well-organized essay.

What the Dial Produces

Unit 1 In-Class Assessment · Exam · 100 Pts

A handwritten, in-class assessment covering the chemistry of life and enzyme function, including a short free-response item analyzing a novel data set.

AI-Resistant by Design: Taken in class on paper with no devices, and built around interpreting an unfamiliar data set, so a chatbot cannot produce the answer in advance.

Suggested Rubric

Concept Mastery · 60 pts – Accuracy and depth on macromolecules and enzymes.
Data Analysis · 40 pts – Reasoning from the provided data to a defensible claim.

Build This in the Rubric! Studio

In the intake, Carla set AI-resistance to high. Turn that dial down and you get the take-home on the left; turn it up and the planner rebuilds the same unit as the in-class assessment on the right, and explains why it holds.

Independent Investigation · Project · 100 Pts

A student-designed lab investigation with a written report and a short oral defense of the methods and findings.

AI-Resistant by Design: Graded substantially on a live oral defense and the student's own lab notebook, so the work has to be understood, not just submitted.

Suggested Rubric

Experimental Design · 40 pts – A controlled, testable investigation.
Analysis & Argument · 35 pts – Evidence-based conclusions.
Oral Defense · 25 pts – Clear, accurate answers to questions about the work.

Pairs with The Rubric! Studio: in the live planner, each scan-gradable written assessment (like the in-class exam above) carries a one-click 'Build This in the Rubric! Studio' button that turns it into a ready-to-review grading job, with the questions and a matching rubric already drafted; live-graded work like an oral defense is graded in person instead. Your curriculum then tracks each job's grading status.

Five Steps. One Curriculum You Can Teach.

You own four of the five steps. The planner does exactly one: the first draft.

Your Step The Planner's Step

Describe

You

Answer the Core Questions.

Subject, level, course title, standards, term length, class cadence, class length and size, your preferred assessment style, and how AI-resistant assessments should be. The intake saves as you go, so you can step away and finish later.

You

Add Optional Detail.

Must-cover topics, topics to leave out, assumed prior knowledge, how many major assessments you want, the tools you have, differentiation needs, and any other notes.

Generate

The Planner

Generate.

It runs in the background, so you can close the tab and come back later; if a run doesn't finish, retry it in one click.

Adopt

You

Read the Draft.

A course overview, a unit and lesson sequence, a pacing calendar with homework, an assessment plan with rubric-ready criteria, and textbook picks.

You

Revise and Export.

Apply one plain-language revision if you want, compare it against the saved original, and export the whole curriculum as a PDF to adapt in your own tools.

Scan-Gradable, so It Carries a One-Click Handoff into the Rubric! Studio Graded Live in the Room, so It Stays with You A Teaching Week with No Assessment Due

Carla set AI-resistance to high in the intake, which is why week 4 is a handwritten in-class assessment rather than a take-home essay. Turn that dial down and the planner rebuilds the same unit the other way.

Standards You Can Anchor a Unit To

AP IB Common Core NGSS Your State Standards None at All

The planner works from your course parameters, not from student records, so there is no roster or student work to upload.

The Syllabus! Planner is FERPA-aware and operates under your institution's direction; you remain the decision-maker on what you actually teach.

One Class, Three Tools.

One fictional class runs through all three tools. Keep a class in your account and they share it: plan the course once, grade with its roster, and recommend its students with the work they actually did.

How the Handoffs Work

From This Plan, into Grading

Every scan-gradable written assessment (exams, short-answer, essays) carries a one-click handoff to The Rubric! Studio, our AI-assisted grading tool; live-graded work like oral defenses or performances doesn't.
The handoff drafts the student-facing questions and a grading rubric, and opens them as a job you review before anything reaches students.
Once graded, the curriculum shows which assessments already have a job and where each one stands.
Link the plan to one of your classes and it lands on that class's page, next to its grading jobs and the recommendation letters you write in The Letter! Desk.

How This Sample Was Made

One Intake, One Full Draft

Carla answered a short, mostly multiple-choice intake, and the planner drafted this whole curriculum for her to shape: the units and lessons, the pacing calendar, and the assessment plan. Each scan-gradable written assessment here can become a ready-to-review grading job in The Rubric! Studio with one click, and the curriculum then tracks each job's status.

Fair Questions, Straight Answers.

What we would want to know before trusting a planning tool.

How Much Does the Syllabus! Planner Cost?

It is free for every signed-in teacher, with no limit on how many curricula you draft.

Is This an Official or Approved Curriculum?

No. It is a customizable starting point anchored to the standards you choose. You review and edit every part, and you decide what you actually teach.

How Does It Help with AI-Resistant Assessment?

You tell it how much assessments should resist AI misuse, and it designs in-class, oral, performance, and process-based checks accordingly, explaining how each one stays hard to outsource to a chatbot.

Which Standards or Frameworks Can It Follow?

Pick AP, IB, Common Core, NGSS, your state standards, or no formal standards, and the plan is anchored to your choice.

What Do I Get Back?

A course overview, a unit and lesson sequence with the materials and prep each unit needs, a week-by-week pacing calendar with a homework schedule, and an assessment plan with rubric-ready criteria. You also get a short list of textbooks that fit the course, gathered from a live web search for you to verify, and a ready-to-paste slide-deck prompt for the whole course and for each unit. You can apply one revision and export the whole curriculum as a PDF.

Can It Plan Individual Class Days?

Yes. Every week in the pacing calendar has a Draft Daily Plans button that expands that week into one plan per class meeting, each with a timed agenda, an objective, the materials to have on hand, and any homework. Draft only the weeks you are about to teach, and redraft any week whenever the plan changes.

Does It Connect to the Rubric! Studio?

Yes. Every scan-gradable written assessment in your plan (exams and short-answer work) has a one-click 'Build This in the Rubric! Studio' button that drafts the student-facing questions and a matching grading rubric as a ready-to-review grading job. Live-graded work like oral defenses, performances, and projects doesn't get a handoff. Once you build one, the curriculum shows that assessment's grading status and links straight to the job.

Do I Need My School's Approval to Use It?

No. The planner runs on your own free account: no institutional license, no IT ticket, no waitlist, and nothing for a district to install. A curriculum drafts from your intake answers and needs no student data at all, and what you actually teach stays your and your school's decision, the same as any planning resource you bring to class.

One Intake. One Full-Term Curriculum.

Free for every signed-in teacher.
