Cracking the curriculum shouldn’t feel like solving a mystery. These three tools take you from “What does this even mean?” to “Lesson planned and done”—all in minutes.
See how we take a Grade 7 Science expectation (D2.3) and bring it to life using three powerful planning tools.
1. Curriculum Expectation Breakdown
Struggling with vague expectations? You’re not alone.
This tool helps you unpack any Ontario curriculum expectation—whether it’s overall or specific. It gives you:
A breakdown of what the expectation actually means
Key concepts and vocabulary to build your anchor charts
Suggested learning goals
Sample questions and strategies for teaching it effectively
It’s perfect for long-range planning, unit design, or just understanding the curriculum more clearly.
2. Three-Part Lesson Planner
Turn expectations into ready-to-teach lessons.
Once you know what you’re teaching, this tool helps you structure it into a complete, three-part lesson:
Minds On
Action
Consolidation
You can choose your subject, grade, expectations, and instructional strategies to generate a tailored, classroom-ready plan.
3. Achievement Chart Alignment
Are you assessing more than just Knowledge?
Most assessments over-emphasize recall—but the Ontario Achievement Chart calls for balance across four categories:
💡 Knowledge & Understanding
🛠️ Application
🗣️ Communication
🧠 Thinking
This tool takes a specific expectation and generates a structured table showing how it aligns to each category—along with sample assessment questions at your chosen difficulty level.
Ready to plan faster, smarter, and with more confidence?
