Planning a unit eats whole weekends: the goals, the order of lessons, the quiz, the final task, and checking it all lines up. This free, open-source library, past 950 GitHub stars, gives Claude 165 teaching skills across 20 areas, each one built on named research. We gave its unit planner a 6-week Year 9 unit on cells, three lessons a week. About a minute later Claude handed back all 18 lessons, a 20-minute mid-unit quiz, a final project and a check that every lesson matches the unit's goals.

Here's what's inside, three ways to use it (one needs no setup at all), and what to watch out for.

What it does for you

  • Unit planning: start from what students should understand, then get the assessments and a lesson-by-lesson plan that match.
  • Spaced practice: give it your topics and term dates and it schedules when to revisit each one, with a retrieval activity per slot.
  • Quizzes, lesson openers, questioning, feedback, reading support, wellbeing and more: 165 skills in 20 areas.
  • Every skill names the research behind it and rates how strong that evidence is. Myths like learning styles are left out on purpose.
  • 13 skills are written for students, for study sessions.
