A free lesson planner for Quebec teachers, built by teachers in Montréal.

Aspasia is a free, bilingual Lesson Studio for Quebec teachers: seven planning sections, four teaching approaches (Standard, 5E, Madeline Hunter and Understanding by Design), sixteen teaching routines, Bloom verbs and rubrics, with six example lessons to start from. You can browse the Ariadne snapshot of the Quebec curriculum (41 subjects, 196 courses), attach references to your plan, build a timed lesson sequence, then print it or export Markdown and JSON. No account is needed and your work is saved locally in your browser.

Aspasia is a free lesson planner built for Quebec teachers around three needs: references to the PFEQ, more than one teaching approach, and plans that stay under your control. It works in English and French with no account, offers Standard, 5E, Madeline Hunter and UbD structures, 16 teaching routines, Bloom verbs and rubrics, and lets you attach references from a 41-subject snapshot of the Quebec curriculum. Plans print cleanly and export to Markdown or JSON, and everything is saved in your own browser. Try the six example lessons first.

Aspasia lets you browse the Quebec curriculum and attach course and topic references from the PFEQ to your lesson plan, but it does not provide official alignment or any certification. Inquisitive Flow Learning is independent of the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec, so treat the references as a planning aid and confirm progression-of-learning details in the official program documents. The benefit is speed: the curriculum snapshot from Ariadne is searchable inside the planner, so you cite the right Quebec course without leaving the page.

No. Aspasia itself makes no AI calls. Instead it composes a detailed prompt from your Quebec lesson plan (subject, PFEQ references, approach, routines, timing, assessment) that you can paste into the AI tool your school or school service centre allows, or ignore entirely. That keeps the pedagogical decisions with the teacher and lets you follow your employer's policy on AI use. Everything you write is saved locally in your browser; export a printable plan, Markdown or JSON copy to keep it or share it.

Aspasia includes four teaching approaches for Quebec classrooms: a Standard plan, the 5E inquiry cycle (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), the Madeline Hunter direct-instruction model and Understanding by Design (UbD) backward planning. Each runs through the same seven planning sections, and you can draw on 16 teaching routines, Bloom's taxonomy verbs, rubrics and six complete example lessons in English and French. Timed lesson sequences show how the minutes add up, and the finished plan can be printed or exported as Markdown or JSON.

Aspasia is built in Montréal by Inquisitive Flow Learning, a Quebec company founded by teachers, alongside Anaximander (101 free teaching guides), Daedalus (a guide to Quebec’s Digital Competency Framework), Ariadne (the curriculum map Aspasia draws on) and Mnemosyne (an AI tutor for the Quebec curriculum). The planner’s structure — intention, evidence, sequence, reflection — comes from classroom practice in Quebec schools and adult education.

Yes, Aspasia is free, and no: there is no account, sign-up or payment. Your lessons are saved in your browser on your device; you can back them all up to a file, import them on another device, print a plan or export it. Nothing is sent to a server, and no AI writes your lesson unless you take the prompt Aspasia composes to a tool you choose.
