Special education lesson planning across multiple core subjects
A SaaS platform that converts standards and existing district curriculum into structured, special-education-friendly weekly units. It would generate repeatable daily lesson routines, differentiated lesson plans, scaffolded materials, presentation slides, assignments, and accommodations for multiple subjects, with teacher editing and reuse across classes.
The problem

The work is repetitive, time-consuming, and poorly supported by district-provided curriculum.
