STEAM and PBL Lesson Plan Generation Tools

The Philosophy Behind the Platform

This tool is more than a generator; it's a partner in curriculum design, built on the foundational principles of the Root Work Framework. Our approach encourages and supports authentic, interdisciplinary lesson planning by developing a living document that you can use as a robust starting point for collaboration and refinement.

Every lesson is structured around the **5Rs**: a pedagogical sequence designed to foster a trauma-informed, healing-centered classroom environment.

Relationships: Fostering community, connection, and psychological safety as the prerequisite for learning.

Routines: Establishing predictable structures, grounding rituals, and clear expectations to create a safe and efficient learning environment.

Relevance: Connecting academic content to students' lives, cultures, and lived experiences to foster authentic engagement.

Rigor: Engaging in deep, meaningful academic work that challenges students to think critically and creatively.
Reflection: Solidifying learning through metacognition, self-assessment, and the sharing of takeaways.
