Our Mission, Vision, and Values

Mission

To empower educators with AI-driven tools that reduce planning time, enhance instructional quality, and keep teachers at the center of the learning experience.

Vision

A world where every teacher has the resources, support, and technology to create meaningful, personalized learning experiences for all students.

Values

Teacher-centered design, educational equity, innovation with purpose, and a commitment to responsible AI that enhances—not replaces—human expertise.

The Challenge We're Solving

Teachers spend countless hours planning lessons, often using generic templates or AI tools that don't understand their unique classroom context, teaching philosophy, or student needs.

The result? Burnout, inconsistent quality, and plans that feel disconnected from the teacher's voice and vision.

Our Solution

MyLessonStudio combines AI with deep pedagogical frameworks like Understanding by Design (UbD) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to create personalized, curriculum-aligned lesson plans.

Every plan reflects the teacher's philosophy, adapts to their students, and saves hours of work—without sacrificing quality or authenticity.

Meet the Team

We're educators, researchers, and technologists building tools that put teachers first.
