Almanack

Almanack is an AI curriculum tool that helps teachers adapt the lessons their school or district already provides, rather than replacing them with AI-generated plans. Teachers keep the unit and standards, and Almanack adjusts the reading level, pacing and supports around their actual students and calendar. That makes it a fit for schools that have invested in a curriculum and want AI to help teachers implement it.

What is Almanack used for?

Teachers use Almanack when the curriculum is set but the class in front of them does not match the pacing guide or the average reader.

• Adapting a lesson's reading level, topic or enrichment while keeping the same unit structure
• Creating below-grade, above-grade, ELL and IEP versions of one lesson tied to the same standards
• Replanning a unit against the real school calendar and seeing which lessons to cut or combine
• Generating standards-aligned assessments with letter-grade mapping and gradebook-ready files
• Writing report card comments and building escape rooms, games and presentations
• Exporting to Google Classroom, Forms, Slides, PowerPoint and quiz tools like Kahoot and Blooket

Who Almanack is best for

Almanack suits teachers in schools with an adopted curriculum who need to differentiate and reschedule it, and curriculum coordinators who want to see coverage across courses. Its footer lists Canadian provincial curricula such as Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec, alongside standards alignment in general. Teachers without a set curriculum who want lessons from scratch can still use the lesson and unit planner, though tools like Chalkie focus more on that job.

Almanack pricing

As of October 2026, Almanack's Free plan includes standards-aligned lesson planning, curriculum design and long-range planning, a lesson and unit planner, Eduslides presentations, basic worksheets, quizzes, games and video recommendations. Pro, marked most popular, adds unlimited generation and adaptation, the differentiation engine for below-grade, above-grade, ELL and IEP versions, depth of knowledge differentiation, exports to Google Slides, PowerPoint and PDF, report card comments and tool integrations, with a two-week free trial. Small Teams adds shared libraries and team planning at a per-user price that falls as you add teachers. Schools and districts contact sales for SSO, rostering, the coverage dashboard and LMS integration. Pro and Small Teams prices did not load on the pricing page, so check the live page or ask sales.

Limitations to keep in mind

• Paid prices were not visible on the pricing page during research, so confirm them before buying
• The differentiation engine, the core feature for many teachers, is a Pro feature
• Adapted lessons still need checking to make sure key standards were kept
• It works best when you have source curriculum to upload

Almanack vs alternatives

Quizlet is a better fit when the goal is student vocabulary and recall practice rather than lesson adaptation, and Almanack can export into it. ChatGPT and Google Gemini can rewrite a lesson if you paste it in, but they do not track pacing against a calendar or keep several versions tied to the same standards. Gamma makes stronger general presentations. Almanack wins when the job is implementing an existing curriculum for a real class on a real timeline.

Tips for getting started with Almanack

Upload one unit from your curriculum and run Replan with your actual remaining school days, since that shows its most distinctive feature fast. Try the two-week Pro trial during a week when you need differentiated versions for a mixed class. Export one assessment to Google Forms and one review activity to your class's favorite quiz game to test the integrations.
