Teacher planning software

Plan your teaching.
Not your paperwork.

PlanLark connects your curriculum, units, lessons, classes, assessments, tasks and teaching notes in one planner — so the pieces of your planning stop living in different places.

One connected system

Your planning already connects. Your tools should too.

A lesson belongs to a unit. A unit answers to curriculum. The marking, the photocopying and the note you wrote after fourth period all belong to the same day of teaching. PlanLark keeps those relationships instead of asking you to remember them.

CurriculumThe objectives this class covers this year
UnitGuiding questions, topics, and its lessons in order
LessonOn the date the class meets, with its outline and materials

And around the plan

Tasks, projects and notes attach to the lesson, unit or class they are about — and stay reachable from the planner rather than a separate app.

Start with your curriculum

The curriculum you actually teach, in the planner

Choose the objectives each class covers this year from a curriculum library, then watch them fill in as you plan and teach. Coverage is a by-product of planning rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt in June.

  • Pick the objectives each class covers, per class
  • Every objective carries its guiding questions and skills
  • See at a glance what is taught, planned, and not yet planned

Turn curriculum into units

A unit is a place to work, not a label on a calendar

Open a unit and find its overview, guiding questions, objectives, key topics and assessment beside the lessons that teach them — in the order you will teach them.

  • Guiding questions, objectives and key topics on the unit itself
  • Reorder lessons, add existing ones, or plan a new one in place
  • Duplicate a unit to teach it again; the planning comes, the dates do not

Every day a class meets, and what you planned for it

Pick a class and every date it meets is listed by month with the lesson planned for it. Select a day and the plan appears as a finished page — click any section to edit it in place.

  • Lesson type, preparation status and unit on every lesson
  • A timed outline that adds up to the length of your period
  • Related tasks and notes sit with the lesson they belong to

Stay ready for what is next

Today, this week, and the shape of the year

Today opens on the classes you teach and the prep still outstanding. Week lays out the timetable. Year shows units as bands across the dates each class actually meets.

  • Today: your teaching day, tasks, notes and notifications together
  • Week: the real timetable, period by period
  • Year: units across the year, adjustable a meeting at a time

Keep the work around teaching organized

Tasks and projects, in one system

The photocopying, the field-trip forms, the marking. Standalone tasks and project tasks are the same records, so a project visibly contains its tasks and nothing is duplicated.

  • Statuses, priorities, categories and deadlines
  • Projects hold their own tasks and show real progress
  • Today and This week views for what is actually due

Remember what matters

The note you meant to keep, where you will find it

One notes system. A note can belong to a lesson, to a unit, or to nothing at all — and it shows up wherever it belongs without becoming a second copy.

  • Capture a note in a keystroke from anywhere in the planner
  • Notes on a lesson also appear on its unit
  • Pin what matters; filter by lesson, unit or general

AI that supports the teacher

A drafting assistant, not a replacement for your judgement

Lark sits inside the lesson editor. Describe the lesson you want and it drafts the sections you have left empty — never overwriting what you wrote. Then refine what is there, in your words.

  • Draft a lesson from a sentence, at the length of your period
  • Only empty sections are filled — your own text is kept, and undo is one click
  • Refine what is there: more inquiry-based, an extension, a student handout
  • Every draft stays fully editable, because you are the one teaching it

Spend less time managing your planning.

PlanLark keeps your curriculum, lessons and planning work connected so you can focus on teaching.

Questions

Before you start

What is PlanLark?
PlanLark is teacher planning software that keeps curriculum, units, lessons, classes, assessments, tasks, projects and teaching notes in one connected planner, instead of spreading them across separate tools.
Who is PlanLark built for?
Classroom teachers who plan several classes at once, teach to a curriculum, and change their plans often — the ones for whom planning is a weekly job rather than a one-time setup.
Does PlanLark handle rotating schedules?
Yes. Set your timetable, cycle days, holidays and non-teaching days once, and lessons are planned on the dates each class actually meets.
How does PlanLark connect lessons to curriculum?
Choose the objectives each class covers this year, then attach a guiding question, a learning outcome, or individual statements to a lesson. Coverage for that class updates as lessons are planned and taught.
What does the AI actually do?
Lark works inside the lesson editor. Describe a lesson and it drafts the sections you have left empty at the length of your period, then helps you refine what is there. It never overwrites what you wrote, and every draft stays editable.
Is PlanLark free for teachers?
There is a free plan with the planner, lesson editing, curriculum outcomes and 30 AI interactions a month. Pro and School lift the AI limit and add the unit planner and marking progress tracking.
