Limitless Differentiation for All Students
Built for special education teachers, Lessi AI is your partner in meeting all students where they are.
Supporting Student Success Through Teacher-Led Personalization
As a special education teacher, you’re juggling individualized education plans (IEPs), adapting curriculum, and addressing varied learning styles—all while fostering inclusion and engagement.
What is Lessi?
Lessi is an AI-powered workspace that helps you tailor lessons, create just-right assessments of learning, and generate student practice content in seconds. Spend less time searching and writing and more time doing what you love: teaching—or, better yet—taking a well-deserved break.
How is Lessi different?
The market is saturated with AI-powered tools for lesson planning, assessments, and student practice. Major players like Google and Microsoft offer integrated classroom solutions, and countless apps leveraging ChatGPT have entered the space. So, what sets this platform apart? Why introduce another AI-powered tool?
Lessi uses multiple forms of artificial intelligence (AI) to create learning experiences that match your setting and needs. Beyond simply prompting ChatGPT with pre-made messages, Lessi AI takes special care to:
- Curate Open Educational Resources (OERs) and match content to each teacher's needs
- Enable critical documents, like standards, district MTSS plans, and IEPs to responsibly guide resource creation
- Co-develop with special education teachers and school leaders, ensuring your progress is the heart of our product
Our Guiding Principles
1. Scaffolding and Skill Building are Essential to Fostering Student Success
At the heart of our approach is scaffolding: supporting students step-by-step so they can build skills with confidence. Lessi AI provides tools to differentiate materials and learning supports to help students make more progress in less time, with less frustration, and with less money. With the right resources, educators can break down complex tasks and gradually increase challenges, giving students a path to mastery that feels achievable and rewarding.
2. High-Quality and Customizable Content Can and Should be Affordable
We know educators are pressed for time and want reliable, effective resources. Lessi AI continues to add to its curated library of thousands of high-quality open educational content that teachers can trust. Using advanced AI, our platform recommends materials that are not only relevant to curriculum standards but also matched to the unique needs and preferences of each classroom. Whether students need extra practice in foundational skills, advanced enrichment, or specific accommodations, Lessi AI quickly provides resources that meet their needs, so teachers can spend less time searching and more time teaching.
3. Evidence-Based Instruction Should be Easy and Intuitive
Our mission at Lessi AI is to make personalized instruction both accessible and effective. We understand that educators have a demanding workload, and managing individual learning paths for every student can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve designed Lessi AI to simplify these tasks through an intuitive platform that does much of the heavy lifting for teachers. With Lessi AI, teachers can provide tailored instruction without the complexity of starting from scratch each time, focusing instead on what they do best—connecting with students, inspiring a love of learning, and giving their students a sense of belonging. Our lesson planning workflows prioritize evidence-backed instructional design principles that have been tested and proven effective.
4. Learning Should be Social and Collaborative
Technology can make much of life easier, but we need to be careful about just how easy some detrimental practices have become. It's too easy for students with additional learning needs to spend their days staring at computer screens, completing isolated tasks, and engaging in solitary play. Individualized and personalized instruction should not mean "alone." Rather, we believe there are ways to personalize and individualize without alienating students and making them feel even more alone than they often do. A focus on social-emotional wellbeing is not simply another set of standards to learn, it's a fresh perspective that prioritizes the whole child and emphasizes peer and collaborative learning as critical for a healthy and independent life.
