What it is
LessonSmith is a web app for teachers that drafts lesson plans, schemes of work and support plans for individual learners. It matches plans to a teacher’s curriculum, class and term dates. Teachers can upload a syllabus PDF or add notes, then create a week-by-week scheme against a calendar. Plans can be edited directly or revised by describing changes in plain language, with export to Word or PDF. The service lists support for 11 curricula, including Kenya CBC/CBE, South Africa CAPS, England’s National Curriculum, Common Core and NGSS, IB, and Cambridge International. The app and generated plans use the teacher’s selected language, with nine languages listed. LessonSmith offers a free plan, a one-off Demo, and paid Pro and Max plans. Pro is $8 a month or KES 1,000 a month; Max is $40 a month or KES 5,000 a month. It is web-only and independent of curriculum authorities.
