One goal, every tool

Teaching goals are the cheapest way to make everything TeachersFlow generates more relevant. You set one active goal per group and subject — and every tool that should know about it reads it automatically.

How it works

In Groups, each group holds teaching goals per subject, with one active goal at a time. When a goal is active:

  • The Lesson planner aligns objectives and the full plan with it.
  • The Assessment generator aligns generated assessments and feedback with it.
  • The Test grader uses it as grading context when a student and subject are selected.

There is no "include goal" step anywhere — setting the goal once is the whole job. Change it when the unit changes, and every tool follows.

What a good goal looks like

Write the goal as the outcome you're currently working toward, in plain language — the way you'd describe it to a colleague covering your class:

  • Too broad: "English grammar."
  • Useful: "Confidently use past simple vs. present perfect in spoken answers; most of the class still defaults to past simple everywhere."

The second version tells the AI what to aim lessons at, what to assess, and what "good" looks like when grading.

Keep it current

A stale goal quietly misaligns everything that reads it. The habit that pays off: when you close a unit, update the active goal in the same sitting. It's one field — and it's the single highest-leverage minute in the app.
