Using this tool: questions and answers

How do I update the preview?

Edit the IEP goal, grade band or lesson focus. The preview updates as you change those fields; there is no Generate button. It shows an example objective, lesson flow and support text for review.

Is this the same as generating a full lesson plan?

No. This is a lightweight preview with example suggestions. It is not a full planner generation or a determination that the suggestions meet the actual IEP. Review and adapt them for the learner before use.

Will my preview still be here when I return?

The preview saves the latest nonempty goal and its grade band and focus in this browser when browser storage is available. It is not an account-saved lesson and does not sync across devices. Clearing or blocking browser storage can prevent the saved preview from returning.

How do I continue to a full lesson draft?

Use the signup link, then enter your reviewed goal and accommodations manually in the full planner. The preview is not transferred through signup. This preview also has no separate Print or Download button.
