What If AI Actually Understood Your Curriculum?

You've tried ChatGPT for lesson planning.
It gave you something. But not something you could use.
Wrong grade level. Wrong terminology. Wrong competencies.
More editing than if you'd started from scratch.
That's not AI's fault. It's a training problem.
"AI is AI—they're all basically the same."
The truth: Training data changes everything.
- Generic AI trained on the internet gives generic, unfocused output.
- AI trained on BC curriculum speaks your language—competencies, Big Ideas, content standards.
- The difference is unusable draft vs. useful starting point.
Would you trust a substitute who'd never seen your curriculum? Same logic applies.
"I still have to check everything anyway."
The truth: Checking is different from creating.
- Reviewing a solid draft takes 10 minutes.
- Building from nothing takes 2 hours.
- Your expertise is better spent refining than reinventing.
You're not outsourcing judgment. You're outsourcing the first pass.
That's called working smart.
"AI can't understand the nuances of my classroom."
The truth: You're right. And that's exactly why you're still essential.
- AI handles the structural work—alignment, formatting, scaffolding.
- You handle the human work—adaptation, relationship, intuition.
- The combination is more powerful than either alone.
AI doesn't replace your nuance. It frees up time for you to apply it.
What Curriculum-Trained AI Actually Does
- Generates unit plans aligned to BC curriculum competencies.
- Creates learning targets in language your school actually uses.
- Builds rubric scaffolding you can customize in minutes.
- Drafts assessments connected to what you're actually teaching.
That's Lamppost.
AI that speaks BC curriculum fluently. Built by teachers who were tired of unusable output.
Because useful shouldn't require hours of editing.
Onward and upward,
