Enter your objective on the left. The AI will generate a full 1-2 week project plan, materials list, and detailed assessment.
Transparency Statement
The Pivot from Generic Content to Custom Curriculum
The Pain: Generic, off-the-shelf curriculum tools fail to integrate a school's unique mission, local context, and pedagogical beliefs. Designing a truly custom, project-based curriculum is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for most schools.
Our Philosophy: The solution is to build a transparent, school-specific intelligence layer. SchoolConnect is a demonstration of how our open-source logic can be integrated with a school's unique curriculum assets (like the Frankford Creek context or Quaker testimonies) to generate highly relevant, rigorous projects.
The Tool: This FFS Beta allows educators to instantly generate detailed, multi-day project plans, materials lists, and rubrics, all hard-coded with the school's specific context and values. This model proves that ethical, transparent AI is the key to scalable, custom curriculum design.
We are not a black-box corporation. We are an open-source research initiative. You deserve to know exactly how this tool works.
Reasoning Engine (Model): Gemini Flash (Latest). Selected for its high-speed reasoning and its ability to follow complex, multi-step, school-specific constraints to generate a full unit plan.
Core Curriculum Logic: Frankford Friends School (FFS) Integration. The AI is hard-coded with FFS-specific curriculum assets, including the Frankford Creek local context and core school values, ensuring every output is unique to the institution.
Privacy: No student data stored. Inputs are ephemeral. This tool operates solely on the FFS curriculum logic. We do not store user inputs, output, or build profiles.
Ethical Design Logic: PBL Scaffold Protocol. The AI is constrained to generate a full, two-week Project-Based Learning (PBL) arc (Launch →→ Investigation →→ Creation →→ Exhibition), ensuring pedagogical rigor and feasibility.
Common Questions & Ethical Commitments (FAQ)
-
Transparency/Beta Status: This is a Frankford Friends School Beta Case Study and is currently only applicable to their curriculum. It is a demonstration of our Custom Curriculum Integration capability.
-
We provide the ethical, open-source logic and framework for custom builds. If your school requires a dedicated, custom-integrated model, please contact us to discuss a bespoke research engagement.
-
The AI is hard-coded with publicly available FFS curriculum logic, local context (Frankford Creek), and pedagogical frameworks. No private student or staff data is ever used.
-
No. This tool was developed as a research collaboration and is completely free for FFS faculty to use during the beta phase.
