What is an AI unit plan generator?
An AI unit plan generator drafts a complete multi-lesson unit from a topic, a textbook chapter or your own notes. Type the topic or upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, choose 3 to 20 lessons and, if you like, paste the standards or outcomes to cover. Edform plans backwards from the end goal and gives you big ideas, essential questions, know-and-do outcomes, key vocabulary, a summative task with success criteria, formative checkpoints and a lesson table with activities and evidence of learning. Edit any part by hand, click Match the curriculum or Add examples to improve it, then download it as a Word document or print it. A Next step turns one lesson into a full lesson plan.

Questions teachers ask
Is it free?
Yes. Create a free Edform account: the free Basic plan includes 5 AI points a month, and each result or change uses one point. Pro gives you 300 points a month.
Can I add my own standards?
Yes. Paste the standards or outcomes you need to cover, and the plan aligns the goals and lessons with them.
Which grades and subjects does it work for?
Any. Choose the grade and subject above the form, and the outcomes follow the curriculum framework of the school system in your profile.
Can I edit and download the unit plan?
Yes. Edit the text directly, use one-click improvements such as More detail or Shorter, then download it as a Word document, copy it or print it.
Can I turn a lesson from the unit into a full lesson plan?
Yes. Choose the lesson plan tool under Next, and Edform uses the unit as context for a detailed, timed plan.
Should I check the plan before teaching?
Yes. AI drafts, the teacher decides. Read through the outcomes, activities and pacing and adjust them to your class.
