11 years in the classroom & I still learn something new every year.
HS History & Government teacher. Building something for teachers on the side.
Gonna start posting more here — come ride with me.
I spent months building an AI tool that would generate your entire year of curriculum — every unit, every lesson, the whole thing.
Then I actually let teachers use it…
Here’s what happened 🧵👇
Bottom line:
This tool isn’t trying to do the whole job for you.
It’s just trying to make that endless planning bs less painful so you can actually enjoy your summer. 🤙
Me in April: Yea, we’ll do a project instead of a final. That’ll be more fun and give you a chance to be creative.
Me now staring at a pile of 5 page papers and videos to grade:
I’ve used a lot of curriculum tools over the years and most of them have the same core problem.
A thread 🧵
So every summer I’d sit down and spend weeks doing it manually. Mapping out units, pacing lessons, making sure everything actually connects. Every year. From scratch. Because there was nothing else to do.
nothing humbles you faster than realizing your students completely misunderstood something you thought you taught really well
Just rearranged the whole room for semester exams — this is my go-to testing setup.
How do y’all arrange your classroom for big exams?
Drop your setups or pics below 👇 I’m always stealing good ideas

End of year activity — students write one thing they learned on an index card and place it under the unit.
🔴Red = something that surprised you.
🔵Blue = something that connects to today.
The WWII column is absolute chaos and I love it. #historyteacher
