    LESSON PLANNING

    Organize, generate, and personalize your curriculum to each student's needs.

    Whether you are designing classroom materials from scratch or planning lessons that are both engaging and tailored to diverse student needs, lesson planning results in increased stress, long hours of prep, and uncertainty about content quality.

    Using Flint's chat feature is like texting your TA. Just shoot a message on what you need: a lesson plan, worksheet grader, syllabus generator, report card commenter, or anything else that floats your boat.

    PARENT COMMUNICATION

    Back-to-school is stressful. Parent-teacher relationships don't have to be.

    Effective parent-teacher communication at the start of the school year is essential for building trust, supporting student success, and engaging families. But that can mean a never ending list of emails, newsletters, phone calls, and meeting prep that you can't fit into your back-to-school schedule.

    Parent AI communication is seamless with Flint. You can use our AI email writer to find the right tone to welcome families, and generate thank you notes. You can also create activities to help parents understand the course selection process or use chat to summarize your school's AI policy and student data security.

    STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

    Personalized learning helping every student feel seen and succeed from Day One

    The start of the school year often brings behavioral challenges and students who need help finding their footing.

    Flint gives teachers the tools to design personalized learning experiences and differentiated instruction that keep students engaged while addressing individual needs. From text scaffolding to a 504 plan generator, text leveler, SMART learning goals generator, and language learning, students can get materials that meet them where they are to build success and confidence.

How teachers use Flint for back-to-school and beyond

Thousands of educators say Flint has improved student outcomes, saved class prep time, and increased classroom engagement.

  • "I have students do written or spoken conversations in French with the AI. Flint lets advanced students go further while giving struggling students extra help — all based on the objectives I provide. It’s like having a TA!"

  • "The engagement with students is exceptionally high, in large part due to the pacing. I've been using Flint for coding assignments, and it automatically scales the difficulty according to each student's skill level."

  • "I’ve been using Flint’s AI to run review sessions, and the kids love it! When students struggle, Flint gently puts them back on track. I could do that myself, but not at 9pm at night when students are reviewing for a quiz."

    History teacher at ‘Iolani

  • "The students loved showing the AI their narrative writing. I have never seen them so engaged! I had initially put a 30 minute time-limit, but they begged me to extend it so that they could keep on revising their work."

  • "Flint lets me see what the kids are thinking through their interactions with the AI, and they thoroughly enjoy it! I had several parents mention to me that their kids went home and talked about the "cool assignment"."

    Ethics teacher at The Episcopal Academy

  • "After a recent essay, one student said the essay drafting tool was like having me there throughout the writing process. Flint's platform functions as an assistant for, rather than a replacement of, students' writing."

    English Teacher at Westminster

  • "Flint is a revolutionary product for language learning! I tried the chat in spoken Spanish and the bot was able to roleplay and understand everything. It’s amazing how well it can keep asking deeper and deeper questions."

     Sebastian Bartis headshot

    Languages Dept. Chair at St. Stephen's & St. Agnes

  • "What’s impressed me most is the nuance and complexity Flint helps me create. When something doesn’t quite work, I can adjust or rebuild an activity with ease. Nothing is lost—only refined."
