Method and apparatus for customizing lesson plans
First Claim
1. A computer system for generating lesson plans customized per student, comprising:
- a data store of teaching activities, each activity addressing a respective skill, different activities addressing different skills, in domain areas of academics, life skills and social skills;
a student information module holding, for each student, a set of student information including assessed skill level in each of the domain areas, the assessed skill level being based on an initial skill assessment and on going skill assessments of skills in the domain areas, such that the assessed skill level identifies a core set of skills needed for independent functioning of the student;
a processor routine determining for a subject student a subset of teaching activities in the data store as a function of assessed skill level and corresponding identified core set of skills per domain area for the subject student from the student information module, the processor routine enabling user selection of at least one of the teaching activities in the determined subset and generating therefrom a lesson plan customized for the subject student.

Abstract
Computer method and apparatus enable customization of lesson plans per student. The invention method and apparatus include a curriculum data store holding a plurality of curriculum records, a student record data store and a processor routine coupled to the student record data store and the curriculum data store. Each curriculum record indicates a respective teaching activity and implementation details of the activity as part of a lesson plan. There are different activities for different domains. The processor routine enables, for a given student, educator-user selection of a curriculum record with its respective activity, as a function of assessed skill level in a subject domain and/or learning profile of the student. The processor routine generates a custom lesson plan, for the given student, that includes the activity of the user-selected curriculum record. The processor routine may suspend or otherwise hold the custom lesson plan pending supervisory review at various times.
