If you’re a K–12 teacher who’s:
- Tired of burning Sundays on lesson prep
- Staring at a blank Google Doc
- Or teaching lessons that you know could land better …this is for you.
Praelum exists to save you 5–10 hours/week on planning and make your lessons sharper, using AI that actually respects classroom reality.
This post is your map.
Follow it in order.
STEP 1 – Watch the 2‑Minute Orientation
Before you click anything else, watch the “Start Here – Orientation” video in the Free Lesson Blueprint Lab.
You’ll see:
- What a Praelum Blueprint is
- How the free build works
- How upgrades & feedback train the future teacher‑first AI we’re building
👉 Go to: Classroom → Free Lesson Blueprint Lab → Start Here – Orientation
STEP 2 – Request Your Free Blueprint (1 per teacher)
You get one free “from‑scratch” lesson blueprint:
- You tell us the grade, subject, and topic
- We build a ready‑to‑teach lesson with: Scripted flow, Simple reasoning trail, and a Parent note + basic rubric. Turnaround: 48 hours.
👉 Go to: Module 1 – Request Your Build inside the Free Lesson Blueprint Lab and submit the form. Takes ~60 seconds.
STEP 3 – Grab It From Your Inbox
We don’t post free blueprints publicly.
- Check your email for keith@praelum.com within 48 hours
- Subject line will look like: Your Blueprint is Ready (ID: LID‑045)
Save that Lesson ID. You’ll use it if you decide to give feedback or unlock discounts on a full unit build.
If you don’t see it:
- Check Promotions/Spam
- Mark it “Not spam” and drag to Primary
STEP 4 – Teach It & (Optionally) Report Back
After you teach the blueprint:
If you’re willing to tell us what actually happened (what worked, what didn’t, where students struggled, what you changed, time saved),
you can:
- Help us train a better teacher‑first AI
- Unlock a $100 credit toward our Unit Architect – 5 Lessons package (full week built for you)
👉 Go to: Module 3 – Teach It → Get $100 Off a Full Week to share results and unlock the discount.
Totally optional. The free blueprint is yours either way.
STEP 5 – When You’re Ready for a Full Week
If the free build helped and you want a whole week off your plate:
- Check out Unit Architect – 5 Lessons in the Classroom
- That’s where we: Build 5 lessons, Add a simple differentiation matrix, Write your parent unit email, Deliver everything in 72 hours.
We keep this un‑pushy on purpose. Try the free thing. If it saves you time, you’ll know if it’s worth getting more.
