Turn standards into active learning.
Choose what students need to learn. LessonSpark gives you meaningful ideas for what students can investigate, create, solve, and discover.
Five minutes, one idea worth teaching
Tell LessonSpark what you teach, which standard students need, and how much time you have. You get three meaningfully different lesson ideas: maybe an investigation, a design challenge, and an evidence debate. Pick one and LessonSpark builds the complete lesson, with a student-friendly learning target, the learning sequence, teacher look-fors, a student self-check, and differentiation.
Every lesson answers one question: how will we know learning happened? Assessment lives inside the activity, not in a quiz bolted on afterward.
Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR, TPACK, student agency, and evidence of learning shape every idea quietly underneath. Open "See Learning Design" on any lesson if you want to look under the hood. Most days, you won't need to.
What do you teach?
What should students learn?
Add one standard or a few related ones. Common Core, NGSS, C3, CSTA, ISTE, arts standards, state and district standards, or your own learning target all work.
How much time do you have?
What do your students have available?
Optional. Leave everything unselected and LessonSpark will use whatever best supports the learning.

About LessonSpark
LessonSpark helps teachers turn standards into active learning experiences.
Instead of starting with technology, LessonSpark starts with what students need to learn and asks what students can investigate, create, solve, explain, design, or demonstrate.
Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR, TPACK, Student Agency, and Evidence of Learning work quietly behind the scenes to support thoughtful instructional design.
The goal is simple:
Less consuming.
More thinking.
More doing.
More creating.
More evidence of learning.
A few things LessonSpark will not do
- Invent official standard identifiers or wording. When it suggests a match, it says so and asks you to confirm or paste the exact text.
- Force technology into a lesson. If paper and conversation serve the learning better, that is what you get.
- Turn every lesson into a multi-day project. Good pedagogy comes first.
- Send student names or personal details anywhere. LessonSpark works at the lesson and whole-class level.
