How to use PlanLark

Six guides, each one walking through something you actually have to do: setting up a timetable, connecting curriculum to lessons, building a unit, drafting with Lark, tracking marking, and keeping tasks and notes together.

Getting Started

How to set up your teacher planner

Enter your classes and timetable once, and PlanLark plans every lesson on the dates those classes actually meet.

Read the guide Curriculum

How to connect curriculum outcomes to lessons

Choose the curriculum objectives each class covers this year, attach them to the lessons that teach them, and let coverage build itself.

Build a unit with its guiding questions and objectives, then hold the lessons that teach it in the order you will teach them.

Read the guide Assessment

Common questions

Before you dig in

What should a new teacher set up first?
The school year and your classes. Every date you can plan on comes from the timetable, so once that is right, lessons, units and curriculum coverage all line up on their own.
Do I need a curriculum loaded before I can plan lessons?
No. You can plan lessons straight away. Adding a curriculum lets you tie lessons to objectives and watch coverage build, but it is not a prerequisite.
What does Lark, the AI, actually do?
Lark works inside the lesson editor. It drafts the sections of a lesson you have left empty at the length of your period, and helps you refine what is already there. It never overwrites your own writing, and every draft stays editable.
Is my planning private?
Your planner, lessons and notes live in your own workspace. See the Privacy Policy and the School and Student Data notice for the detail.
