Career-connected. Future-Ready. Built for real classrooms.

Plan for real students, real classrooms and real futures.

Teach the content. Build the skills. Prepare the workforce.

Your district may provide the curriculum, pacing guide or scope and sequence. But it cannot plan tomorrow’s lesson for the students and adults who will actually be in your room.

You still have to differentiate for multilingual learners, students with IEPs and advanced learners; decide what your co-teacher or paraprofessional will do; build in Social Emotional Learning; connect the content to careers and Future-Ready skills; and make the evidence visible in the framework you are evaluated on.

Preptrics™ does the heavy planning work with you—saving hours while helping you turn the curriculum you were given into instruction designed for the classroom you actually teach, with career-connected learning, Social Emotional Learning, identity and cultural affirmation, differentiation, and framework alignment built into the planning.

Career-Connected Learning Social Emotional Learning Identity + Cultural Affirmation Danielson + Other Instructional Frameworks

Built across core subjects, STEM, CTE and Work-Based Learning.

Use the AI account you already have—personal or school-provided. Preptrics™ does not require you to buy a separate AI subscription. You do not enter specific student information. Instead, you describe your class in general terms—such as the number of multilingual learners, students who need accommodations, advanced learners, and the adults in the room.

One planning system. Core academics, CTE and career-connected learning.

Preptrics™ is built to support strong academic instruction and the specialized demands of career and technical classrooms.

The scope and sequence is only the starting point

The curriculum tells you what to teach. Preptrics™ helps you plan for who you teach.

Turn district curriculum into differentiated, career-connected, SEL-integrated, framework-aligned instruction without rebuilding every lesson from scratch.

The Preptrics™ instructional promise

A healthy workforce starts with young people who know who they are.

Long before graduation, students are forming beliefs about what they are good at, where they belong, whether they can solve difficult problems, and which futures feel possible. Career readiness cannot wait until senior year, Career Day or a CTE elective.

Every lesson is a chance to strengthen academic knowledge, identity, agency and the transferable skills students will carry into college, careers and the workplace.

Every Preptrics™ lesson is designed around four connected commitments: Career-Connected Learning, Social Emotional Learning, Identity & Cultural Affirmation, and alignment to the instructional framework you use. Those commitments come to life through five planning questions that connect academic learning to careers, human skills, Future-Ready competencies and equity.

01 · Academic

What are students learning?

Standards-aligned content, clear learning targets and meaningful evidence of mastery.

02 · Career

Where is this knowledge used?

Careers, industries, community problems, postsecondary pathways and the real world.

03 · SEL

What human skill are they practicing?

Communication, collaboration, self-awareness, decision-making, persistence or another relevant competency.

04 · Future-Ready

What will students demonstrate?

A Portrait of a Graduate or transferable competency made visible through student work.

05 · CRSE + Equity

Who can see themselves in the learning?

Identity, culture, contribution, access, perspective and opportunity are considered intentionally.

From Portrait to Practice

Move the Portrait of a Graduate from the poster into daily instruction.

Preptrics™ helps teachers identify where students actually practice a Future-Ready competency and what evidence will show that growth.

What are students learning? The academic or technical content.
Why does it matter? The career, community or real-world connection.
What transferable skill are they practicing? The SEL or Future-Ready competency.
What will make it visible? The student action, product, explanation, performance or reflection.

The planning gap schools cannot solve with a pacing guide

A scope and sequence does not know who walked into your classroom today.

District curriculum can identify standards, units, texts, assessments and pacing. It cannot know that your third-period class includes six multilingual learners, five students with IEPs, a student ready for extension, a co-teacher who is present three days a week, limited devices and forty-seven minutes to make the lesson work.

Teachers are still responsible for translating the curriculum into instruction for the students in front of them. That is where the hours disappear. Preptrics™ helps give those hours back.
Built for the classroom you actually teach

Generic plans are written for generic students. Yours shouldn’t be.

Preptrics™ starts with the realities of your room: the instructional block, multilingual learners, students with IEPs, advanced learners, technology, co-teachers, paraprofessionals and the supports students actually have available.

Every adult has a purpose

Co-teaching roles are planned—not improvised.

A second adult in the room should not have to determine their role after instruction begins. Preptrics™ can define responsibilities by phase and identify an appropriate co-teaching model.

No additional adult today? The plan can provide a realistic circulation and monitoring strategy instead.

Adults in the Room · Example
PhaseLead teacherSpecial education teacher
ExploreCirculates groups 1–4 and listens for reasoning.Circulates groups 5–8 and provides access supports without interpreting the task.
SynthesizeSequences student thinking and facilitates discussion.Records emerging ideas and monitors participation.
AssessCollects independent evidence.Supports access while preserving the assessed skill.
Differentiation without labels

Different support. Same expectation of meaningful learning.

Preptrics™ can create flexible pathways students use according to the demands of the task and what helps them begin, persist and demonstrate understanding.

Equity is not giving some students less. It is creating more than one credible pathway into rigorous work.

Scaffolded AccessTargeted supports, visuals, sentence frames, chunking or partially completed structures that open a path into the work.
Core LearningThe essential thinking and performance expected from students.
Strength-Forward ExtensionGreater complexity, transfer, independence, application or justification.
Available flexibly rather than publicly labeling students by level.
Built from workforce expertise. Designed for every subject.

Career-connected learning is not another subject. It is a reason for the learning.

Students should not have to wait for a CTE course, internship or senior-year seminar to understand how school connects to opportunity. Preptrics™ helps teachers make that connection visible across the curriculum.

Teach for your students. Make the evidence visible for your evaluator.

Preptrics™ can connect the lesson to the instructional framework you are using—including the Danielson Framework for Teaching, Marzano, Stronge, T-TESS, 5D+, TAP/NIET, CSTP, or another selected framework or rubric. The alignment is considered while the lesson is being built—not translated after the fact.

The first days matter

Start the year without choosing between classroom culture and academic learning.

The opening days tell students what kind of classroom this will be: whether the work matters, whether they belong, whether they know how to get help and whether the subject connects to anything beyond the room. Preptrics™ launch resources establish routines through authentic academic work rather than postponing instruction.

CONTENT FIRST · ROUTINES IN CONTEXT · INDEPENDENCE OVER TIME

First Five Days

A focused opening-week launch plan that protects academic content while essential routines are taught.

First Ten Days

A gradual-release framework for building classroom independence across the opening two weeks.

Syllabus Builders

Grade-band builders and completed samples that connect expectations, support, communication and Future-Ready learning.

Routine Toolkit

Ready-to-use tools for entry, transitions, materials, help-seeking, devices, reflection and independence.

Save time without sacrificing quality

Your expertise in. Hours of planning out.

You already know your content and your students. Preptrics™ helps organize that expertise into a detailed, differentiated, career-connected planning structure so you spend less time staring at a blank template and more time preparing to teach.

1

Describe your classroom

Grade, subject, block, students, adults, technology, supports and priorities.

2

Identify the learning

Topic, standards, objectives, instructional goals and required content.

3

Set the priorities

Career connection, SEL, CRSE, differentiation, Portrait competencies and evaluation framework.

4

Review and teach

Use the comprehensive draft as your starting point, then apply your professional judgment and customize.

Preptrics™ does the organizing. The teacher remains the instructional decision-maker.

Built by educators who know what planning actually requires

Built from more than 30 years of educational leadership—and the realities teachers face every day.

The planning system reflects more than 30 years of experience across classroom instruction, special education, career and technical education, work-based learning, curriculum development, teacher evaluation, school leadership and district-level administration.

Founder & Creator

Created by Dr. Denise K. Harper-Richardson

Founder & CEO, Advisory2Work LLC | Creator of Preptrics™ | Author

Dr. Harper-Richardson is an award-recognized principal and district administrator with more than 30 years of experience in education. Her work spans classroom instruction, school and district leadership, teacher evaluation, curriculum development, special education, Career & Technical Education, and Work-Based Learning.

Preptrics™ was built from that practitioner perspective: not simply to generate a lesson plan, but to help teachers turn curriculum into instruction that accounts for the students, adults, time constraints, differentiation needs, career connections, and instructional expectations of a real classroom.

Licensed in Career & Technical Education, Grades 7–12 — grounding career-connected planning in both instructional and workforce expertise.
Work-Based Learning Coordinator — connecting classroom learning to workforce competencies, career pathways and authentic workplace expectations.
Special Education — bringing deep experience with differentiation, access, accommodations and purposeful adult support.
Elementary & Middle School Education — ensuring the system reflects the developmental and instructional needs of multiple grade bands.
Extensive Teacher Evaluation & Curriculum Development Experience — connecting strong instruction to Danielson, Marzano, Stronge and other instructional frameworks.
That combination matters because Preptrics™ was not designed only to produce a lesson on paper. It was designed to help teachers translate curriculum into instruction that works with the students, adults, time constraints and expectations of a real classroom.
Reviewed by experienced teachers

Built with practitioner review—not in isolation.

Preptrics™ has also been reviewed by a team of experienced teachers representing multiple grade bands and content areas. Their review focused on whether the plans were usable, rigorous, realistic, differentiated and practical for day-to-day classroom instruction.

That means the system has been examined through the lens of the people who ultimately have to use it: teachers planning for actual students, actual schedules and actual instructional demands.

Questions

What educators ask first

My district already gives me a curriculum and scope and sequence. Why do I need Preptrics™?

A curriculum or scope and sequence tells you what content should be taught and often when it should be taught. Teachers still have to turn that guidance into an actual lesson for the students and adults in front of them: differentiation, accommodations, multilingual supports, co-teaching roles, pacing within the block, checks for understanding, Social Emotional Learning, career connections and evidence aligned to the instructional framework. Preptrics™ is designed to accelerate that translation work and save teachers hours of planning.

Can I use my own AI account?

Yes. Preptrics™ is designed to work with the AI account you already use. Most teachers can use their own personal ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot account; a school-provided account works too. You do not purchase an AI subscription from Preptrics™. Provider features and usage limits vary, but a separate Preptrics™ AI subscription is not required.

Am I entering student information into Preptrics™?

No specific student information is required. Preptrics™ is designed around class-level descriptions rather than individual student records. For example, you might enter that your class includes five multilingual learners, four students who need accommodations, one advanced learner, a co-teacher and a paraprofessional. You do not need to enter student names, student ID numbers, addresses, dates of birth, grades, medical information or other personally identifying records.

The lesson details you enter — your topic, class description and notes about who is in the room — are not sent to or stored on our servers. When you paste your plan request into your AI, that provider receives it and handles it under its own privacy and retention policy — so use an AI account your district approves.

What data does Preptrics™ collect about me?

Only what is needed to run your license and improve the product: the email address you purchased with, your license key, and anonymous counts such as how many plans have been generated. That is all that reaches our servers.

We do not sell your data, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not build a profile of you. The lesson details you type — your topic, your class description, your notes about who is in the room — stay in your browser and are never transmitted to us. If you ask us to delete your account and your record, write to support@preptrics.com and we will.

Can Preptrics™ integrate Social Emotional Learning into a lesson?

Yes. When selected, Preptrics™ integrates an appropriate Social Emotional Learning connection into the academic or technical work itself—such as communication, collaboration, self-awareness, decision-making, persistence, perspective-taking or self-management—rather than treating SEL as a disconnected add-on.

Which instructional frameworks can I use?

Danielson is one of the primary framework options, but it is not the only one. Preptrics™ can align planning to Danielson, Marzano, Stronge, T-TESS, 5D+, TAP/NIET, CSTP, or another selected framework or rubric. The goal is to make the instructional evidence already present in the lesson visible in the language of the framework you are using.

How does Preptrics™ support Career-Connected Learning?

Plans can connect academic content to careers, industries, postsecondary pathways, workplace competencies and authentic applications. The goal is not to paste a career name onto a lesson, but to help students understand where the knowledge is used and what transferable skills they are practicing.

Can I use my school’s required lesson-plan format?

Yes. The planning process can incorporate school-required headings or a district planning structure so the final draft is easier to adapt to local expectations.

From classroom learning to workforce opportunity.

Your curriculum is already written. Now plan the lesson your students actually need.

Save hours. Differentiate with purpose. Plan for every adult in the room. Connect learning to the future.
