Lesson Plans are curriculum containers — they define the "what" and "why" for a complete learning journey. Lessons are individual learning units — they define the "how" for a single 6-minute quest.

Standardized Fields

Every lesson plan includes these standardized fields for consistency across all Flow Education curricula:

Target Student

Age Range: 5-6 years | Grade: Kindergarten | Reading Level: Pre-reader | Prerequisites: None or specified

Pedagogical Focus

Primary Domain: Early Literacy / Math / Science | Theory: Engelmann Direct Instruction + Adaptive Mastery | Engagement Target: 60 min independent

Curriculum Alignment

Standards: CCSS, TEKS, or state-specific | Each lesson maps to specific learning objectives

Assessment Strategy

Formative: Continuous in-lesson quizzes | Summative: Milestone checks | Mastery Threshold: 80% over 5+ attempts

Adaptation Rules

Error Handling: 3 errors → reduce difficulty | Success: 5 correct → increase | Frustration: 30s stuck → hint
