Almost everything "works." The hinge is 0.40.
Hattie's Visible Learning synthesis found that 95% of what schools try has a positive effect — so "it worked" means nothing. What matters is what works above average. The dashed line is d = 0.40, the average of every effect ever measured. This tool only builds plans from what clears it.

EVERY LESSON GETS TWO SUCCESS CRITERIA — WATCH
How it works
Three decisions. One finished plan.
The site assembles lesson-plan content that was written and reviewed in advance. It does not invent curriculum when someone clicks a button.
Pick the lesson
Choose your grade and the i-Ready lesson you're teaching. Sessions become your day columns automatically — 3-day and 5-day lessons both just work.
Set the week
Mark holidays with a reason, testing days, i-Ready diagnostic days. Sessions slide around them and carry into next week when they must.
Print the plan
One letter-size plan in the district template — bulldog on top, Surface & Deep criteria daily, every cell traceable to the Teacher Guide and the book.
The plan promise
Built for the admin walkthrough — and for the kids.
Every cell comes from two sources only: the i-Ready Teacher Guide you already teach from, and Hattie & Zierer's Visible Learning: Lesson Planning. Nothing generic, nothing invented.
