Lesson-linked video
Video availability can be surfaced from the local curriculum database and opened through signed playback links from the API as one support artifact alongside exports and generated materials.

What LessonGrid actually does
LessonGrid is designed around a clear bridge from curriculum browsing to planning to standards visibility to classroom-ready support.
Dashboard and quarter planner
The dashboard is built to answer a simple question fast: what is this learner teaching this week, this quarter, and what should come next in the planning flow?
- Continue This Week call-to-action for immediate re-entry.
- Quarter planner grid for week-by-subject pacing.
- Browse by grade and subject without losing context.
Weekly planner that scans quickly
Teachers should understand the week at a glance. LessonGrid uses a visual weekly surface that makes room for standards, lesson progression, and the next support step instead of burying everything in lists.
- Grid-based weekly view.
- Subject and lesson pacing that reads visually.
- Designed for quick scanning on mobile.
TEKS and NGSS in the same workflow
Standards stay visible near the lesson and remain connected to quarter pacing. That makes it easier to explain what is covered, what comes next, and which support artifacts need to stay aligned.
- Inline standards chips.
- Quarter-by-subject coverage view.
- Professional exports for planning conversations.
Lesson support that starts from the lesson itself
A teacher can open a lesson and continue naturally into practical support: generated class materials, secure video, PDF export, and parent or student sharing.
- Built around lesson context and standards.
- Designed so support feels like a continuation of planning, not a detached tool.
- Delivered through authenticated service access where appropriate.
Structured browsing when teachers want to explore first
LessonGrid is not only for returning users. It gives teachers a clear path from grade to subject to lesson, so the product can earn trust before asking for too much commitment.
- Grade and subject structure are easy to scan on mobile.
- Curriculum discovery feels curated instead of cluttered.
- Supports low-friction exploration before sign-in.
Secure QR sharing
Teachers can generate share links and QR codes so parents and students open the lesson inside LessonGrid instead of receiving a public file dump.
Planning exports
Weekly plans, quarter plans, lesson plans, and coverage views all behave like practical outputs of the planning workflow.
Lightweight account model
The app keeps first-run friction low and asks for identity only when sync, secure sharing, or exports require it.
