Plan complete backward-design units in minutes. Draft UbD or IB MYP desired results, a summative anchor, a lesson sequence, and formative evidence — then export a polished DOCX unit planner. Free for K-12 teachers and educators.
Backward design (Understanding by Design, or UbD) plans a unit from the end: identify the desired results first, then determine acceptable evidence, and only then plan the learning activities. It keeps every lesson pointed at what students will actually be assessed on — the opposite of picking activities first and hoping they add up.
A lesson plan is one day. A unit plan is the arc across two to six weeks: enduring understandings, essential questions, a summative anchor, the lesson sequence that builds toward it, and the formative checkpoints along the way. The Unit Planner drafts all of that as one coherent plan.
Yes. Choose "IB MYP" at the framework step and every stage is drafted in the official MYP unit planner layout — key/related concepts, global context, statement of inquiry, ATL skills, criterion coverage, and the MYP-style summative. The DOCX export uses the IB layout, not a UbD one.
Yes. Each of the four stages has its own refine box — give feedback like "make the essential question more student-friendly" or "swap the summative for a portfolio task" and the AI revises just that stage, leaving the rest intact.
Every formative and summative slot in the unit opens the matching AssessmentWiz generator (exit ticket, quiz, project rubric, IB MYP task, etc.) pre-loaded with the unit context — grade, standards, prior lessons. Finished assessments link back to the unit, so you can see every check tied to that arc in one place.
