The problem

A whole course is a brutal blank page.

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? Designing a curriculum from scratch is hours of work before a single class is taught.

Most teachers do not have a spare weekend to architect a course, and a rubric or a grading tool only helps once that course already exists.

The approach

It hands you a complete draft to customize, not a mandate.

Answer a short set of multiple-choice questions about your course and the planner drafts a full sample curriculum: units and lessons in teaching order, a week-by-week pacing calendar, and an assessment plan.

Everything it produces is a starting point you own and edit. You skip the blank page and spend your time on the judgment calls that actually need a teacher.

How it works

From a few questions to a curriculum you can teach.

Answer the core questions: subject, level, course title, standards, term length, class cadence, and how AI-resistant assessments should be.

Add optional detail, like must-cover topics, the tools you have, or differentiation needs.

Generate. It runs in the background, so you can close the tab and come back later.

Read the draft: a course overview, a unit and lesson sequence, a pacing calendar, and an assessment plan with rubric-ready criteria.

Customize every section, apply one plain-language revision if you want, and export the whole curriculum as a PDF.

Assessment in the age of AI

Assessments designed to be hard to fake with a chatbot.

Tell the planner how much your assessments need to resist AI misuse. Turn it up and the plan leans on in-class, handwritten, oral, performance, lab, and process or portfolio checks that students produce and defend in front of you.

Every assessment explains how it stays robust, so you can see why it is hard to outsource before you adopt it.

Anchored to your standards

Built around the framework you already follow.

Choose AP, IB, Common Core, NGSS, your state standards, a college or department syllabus, or no formal standards at all. The units, pacing, and assessments are organized around your choice, with a standards-alignment map per unit.

It is framing you can recognize and adjust, not a generic template that ignores how your subject is actually structured.

Pacing built in

A week-by-week calendar that fits your term.

Tell it whether you teach a quarter, a trimester, a semester, or a full year, and how often the class meets. The pacing calendar lays out what each week focuses on and where the checkpoints land.

You get a realistic map of the term instead of a pile of topics with no sense of time.

Yours to shape

Revise in plain language, then take it with you.

Want fewer exams and more projects, a slower start, or an extra unit on a specific topic? Describe the change in a sentence and the planner rewrites the whole plan around it.

When it fits your course, export it as a clean PDF to share with your department or drop into your own planning documents.

Part of the teacher suite

One class, from the plan to the letter.

Every written assessment in your plan carries a one-click handoff to The Rubric! Studio, our AI-assisted grading tool: it drafts the student-facing questions and a grading rubric and opens them as a grading job to review before anything reaches students. Once graded, the same curriculum shows which assessments already have a job and where each stands.

Link the plan to one of your classes and it all lands on that class's page, next to its grading jobs and the recommendation letters you write for its students in The Letter! Desk. See the whole arc in the sample curriculum and its matching sample grading job.

Privacy & FERPA

No student data required.

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.

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, a college or department syllabus, 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, a week-by-week pacing calendar, and an assessment plan with rubric-ready criteria. You can apply one revision and export the whole curriculum as a PDF.

Does it connect to The Rubric! Studio?

Yes. Every written assessment in your plan 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. Once you build one, the curriculum shows that assessment's grading status and links straight to the job.
