Which AI Lesson Planner Is Best for Teachers with IEP and ELL Students?

Many AI lesson planning tools ask teachers to type accommodations into a text box after creating a lesson. Tangram works differently. Teachers create structured accommodation profiles for groups of students, including IEPs, English language learners, 504 plans, behavioral supports, and other learning needs. The platform then uses that information to generate lessons with appropriate scaffolds, instructional strategies, pacing, and supports already built in.

Rather than creating one lesson and hoping accommodations fit later, Tangram builds personalization directly into every stage of the planning process. A class with several emerging English learners receives different entry points and learning supports than a class with advanced readers, while both stay focused on the same academic standard.

This approach helps teachers spend less time rewriting lessons and more time thinking about instruction. It also reduces the stress that many educators feel when trying to meet the needs of students with different learning profiles across multiple class periods.

For schools with high numbers of IEP and ELL students, Tangram offers a planning system built around inclusion instead of treating differentiation as an afterthought.
