Better Lesson Pacing & Structure

Plan to your exact class period with structured lesson timing and duration settings you control.

Structure That Fits Your Schedule

  • Structured Flow: Each lesson includes warm-up, main activities, and closure sections
  • Every Activity Timed: The intro and each activity carry their own minutes, sized to sum to the period you asked for
  • Easily Customizable: Drag a slider or click and type the minutes, and reorder activities with drag-and-drop
  • Always in Budget: A timeline pinned to the top of the editor totals every change against your target: +8 min, -5 min, or On target
The lesson editor with its timeline header reading On target and every section carrying its own minutes

What you get

Why Pacing Matters

Make the most of every minute of class time

  • Use Every Minute

    Timing that accounts for the whole period, warm-up to closure.

  • Reduce Stress

    Plan to your exact class period instead of guessing at timing.

  • Keep Students With You

    Activities sized so none of them run long and lose the room.

How it works

Timed lessons in four steps

  1. Set Your Duration

    Tell us how long your class period is when creating your lesson.

  2. Review the Timing

    The lesson arrives already timed: warm-up, activities, and closure each carry minutes that add up to your period.

  3. Adjust to Fit

    Nudge a slider and a badge shows how far you've moved from the suggestion, while the total recalculates live.

  4. Walk In Ready

    Know how your lesson will flow before you walk into class.

Why teachers use it

Pacing Tools You Control

  • Flexible Controls

    Adjustment sliders and drag-and-drop reordering to customize your lesson flow.

  • Real-Time Arithmetic

    The timeline header does the math while you edit: over, under, or on target, against a target you can change.

  • Visual Timeline

    A proportional bar shows each activity's share of the period at a glance, on the editor and the lesson page.

  • Onto the Real Clock

    Schedule the lesson on the weekly planner and its timing maps to actual times of day, activity by activity.
