In their own words
Almanack
Almanack is a web platform for educators planning curriculum lessons and classroom resources across subjects, grade levels, and languages. Teachers can adjust a lesson’s reading level, topic, content, and pacing while keeping the unit structure intact. It can create below-grade, above-grade, ELL, and IEP versions aligned to the same standards, and generate assessments tied to standards, letter grades, and curriculum units with gradebook-ready artifacts. The free plan costs nothing and includes standards-aligned lesson planning, curriculum design, a lesson and unit planner, slides, basic worksheets and activities, quizzes and assessments, educational games, and custom video recommendations. Almanack lists integrations including Google Classroom, Google Forms, Kahoot, GimKit, Blooket, Wayground, Quizlet, Google Slides, Google Docs, PowerPoint, Word, and PDF. Its Google Classroom integration can import courses, publish lessons as assignments, and display classwork in Almanack course pages. School and district users can sign in through Google, Microsoft Entra ID, Clever, or ClassLink, depending on district configuration.
