TeacherHero is a web-based lesson-planning and instructional-coaching platform for K–12 teachers. It organizes courses into units, weeks, and lessons, then uses that curriculum context to generate lessons in six gradual-release stages: Warm-Up, I Do, We Do, Y’all Do, You Do, and Exit Ticket. Teachers can select from 24 teaching strategies. Pro adds unit assessments, checks against learning targets, lesson audits, differentiation, rewrites, and source enhancements. Lessons can be exported as PDFs, slides, Google Drive files, PowerPoint, or Word documents. Google sign-in is available, and optional Drive access is limited to files TeacherHero creates. TeacherHero says curriculum and uploaded materials are not used to train models; excerpts are sent to AI only after teacher confirmation. It uses OpenAI’s API for AI calls and says it does not collect student names, records, or work or provide student accounts. A free account is available; Pro costs 8.99 USD per month after a 7-day free trial and renews monthly until canceled.
Who it is for
TeacherHero suits K–12 teachers who want to organize curriculum and generate lesson materials. Its single-teacher design may fit educators who do not need district administration or organization-wide access.
