From “Good Enough” to “Wow”: Refresh the Units You Already Teach
You Already Paid for Curriculum. So Why Start Over?
You've already invested in curriculum—purchased programs, district-built units, pacing guides, and countless hours of teacher planning. Your teams know these units and rely on them.
But they weren't built for today: new educational standards, Portrait of a Graduate, more multilingual learners, equity, and local relevance. Every new framework leaves teachers asking, "How do I fit all of this into what I already have?" and spending precious time hunting standards, tweaking examples, and inventing supports on their own.
It’s slow. It’s stressful. It’s not sustainable.
That’s where Adapt Existing Unit steps in—to update the units you already teach so they match today’s priorities—without sending anyone back to a blank page.
Meet Adapt Existing Unit: Refresh, Not Replace, Your Units
Adapt Existing Unit is your “upgrade button” for the units you already teach. It blends the power of AI for teachers with your existing curriculum to deliver a refresh that feels personalized, relevant, and ready to teach—without rewriting from scratch.
Simply upload a unit plan or paste a curriculum link, and it analyzes your materials, maps the structure and standards, and returns a refreshed version—with localized examples, built-in teacher guidance, and supports for diverse learners—aligned to your current goals and focused on standard alignment.
In other words: you keep the curriculum you’ve invested in, and Adapt Existing Unit makes it teach like it was built for this year—not five years ago, ensuring curriculum and assessment are in sync with current educational standards. This is AI for education done right: intelligent, fast, and grounded in what teachers already know, trust, and use.
Whether You Need a Polish or a Redesign, We’ve Got You Covered
Whether a unit just needs a tune-up or a total rethink, Adapt Existing Unit has you covered—Light Adapt for quick wins, Deep Redesign for a full reset.
Light Adapt: Keep the Unit, Add the Magic
When a unit is basically working but feels generic or out of date, Light Adapt gives it a lift. It preserves your core plan and layers on what’s missing—local context, inclusive supports, and ready-made resources that make teaching it easier and more impactful.
Light Adapt strengthens your unit in three big ways:
1. Make the Unit Feel Like It Belongs to Your Students
- Localized Curriculum: Swap one-size-fits-all examples for tasks, texts, and prompts that draw on your students' community, identities, and everyday world—so the learning feels like it's happening with them, not somewhere else.
- Future-Ready & PoG-Aligned Moments: Translate PoG from slogans into specific, measurable expectations and in-class opportunities embedded in tasks, talk, and products, so future-ready skills are actually built—not just named.
2. Put Coaching Inside the Lesson, Not Just in PD
- Job-Embedded Support for Teachers: Embed “How do I teach this lesson?” guidance directly into each lesson—concrete teaching tips for the targeted academic standards, UDL/CLR-informed strategies, and notes on typical student behaviors and how to respond—so teachers aren’t left to figure it out alone.
3. Turn a Written Plan into Plug-and-Play Classroom Tools
- Standards-Aligned Assessments: Turn every lesson into a standards-aligned check-in, with formative assessment quizzes built across Bloom's and DOK levels—making it easy to see true mastery of your content standards instead of shallow recall.
- EduProtocols-Based Student Activities: Drop in ready-made activity frames inspired by EduProtocols that boost participation, creativity, and collaboration while still tightly targeting your academic outcomes and promoting skill development.
- Ready-to-Teach Teacher Slides: Instantly transform your written lesson plan into a ready-to-present slide deck—teachers just open, tweak, and hit “present.”
Deep Redesign: A New Unit, Built from What You Already Have
When tweaks aren’t enough, Deep Redesign steps in. Instead of throwing everything away, it treats your existing unit as raw material, keeping the best parts while redesigning the learning journey for where you want students to go now.
- Rebuild the Arc: Adjusts pacing, sequence, and emphasis so weeks, lessons, and key tasks line up with updated standards, PoG competencies, and sharper outcomes—making the unit feel tighter, clearer, and more purposeful.
- Teach the Way You Want: Reshapes your content into lesson formats that match your priorities—whether that’s more student voice, collaboration, or real-world application—ready for you to run with.
- Walk In With a Ready-to-Teach Package: Get the whole thing in one place—local hooks, embedded teacher guidance, supports for diverse learners, aligned checks for understanding, engaging student activities, and slides teachers can open, tweak, and teach tomorrow.
