Milo builds the prompt from your class, grades and expectations. Add exit tickets and accommodations, then create. Generate the introduction, the overview, then each lesson. Each lesson has learning goals and success criteria, written to follow Growing Success. Both grades share one focus, with tiered activities for each grade. Each activity comes with UDL variations: choices, representations and supports. Make a student text, or a worksheet with an answer key. Rubrics follow the Achievement Chart, levels one to four. Adapt a saved item for one student. Add a word bank. Milo drafts it from their profile. Add a planning note before, and a reflection after. Regenerate, and your notes steer that same lesson. Download any of it as Word. Student names are never sent to the AI. Try Milo free for a month.

Four steps

How do you build a unit in Milo?

  1. Set up your class

    Choose the grades and subjects you teach, including both grades of a split. Add students with a few lines on their strengths, needs and interests.

  2. Choose the expectations

    Pick expectations across subjects and grades. Set the number of lessons, their length and any accommodations.

  3. Draft the unit and lessons

    Milo drafts learning goals, success criteria, the lesson sequence and assessment, written to follow Growing Success and UDL. Each activity comes with UDL variations, and a split grade gets a shared focus with tiered activities for each grade.

  4. Make the materials yours

    Generate student texts, worksheets and rubrics. Adapt an item for one student, review it and download as Word.

Each lesson in the unit is drafted from the expectations you chose, so the unit planner is also an Ontario lesson plan generator. To see what a finished plan covers, start with the Ontario lesson plan template and worked example.

For your classroom

What do you get with Milo?

  • One unit across subjects.

    Choose expectations from more than one subject. Milo groups them by grade and subject to build the unit.

  • Both grades have a place.

    One shared focus, with tiered activities so each grade’s selected expectations have a place in the lesson.

  • Your notes shape the lesson.

    Add planning and reflection notes. When you regenerate or refine that same lesson, Milo uses them to steer the draft.

  • No prompt writing needed.

    Milo builds the prompt from your class, grades and expectations. You choose, Milo drafts, and you edit everything.

For one learner

Adapt the materials for the student in front of you

Start with a saved student text, worksheet or rubric. Pick a student and add any instructions. Milo uses the strengths, needs and interests you recorded to draft a version for that learner.

Review the adapted version, request changes and save it to your library.

Teaching from a timetable? Put lessons on your teaching timetable and draft the lesson for any teaching period. When report cards come round, the same class is ready in the Ontario report card comment generator.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ontario unit planner draft?

Milo drafts a unit overview and lessons from the expectations you choose. You get learning goals, success criteria, a learning sequence and assessment. You can then generate student texts, worksheets and rubrics.

Can I plan for a split grade?

Yes. Set up both grades in your class and choose expectations from each. Milo builds a shared learning focus with tiered activities for each grade’s own expectations.

Can one unit cover more than one subject?

Yes. Choose expectations from several subjects in your class. Milo groups them by grade and subject when drafting the unit.

What can I adapt for one student?

Any saved student text, worksheet or rubric. Milo uses the strengths, needs and interests you recorded, along with your instructions. Review the version, request changes if needed and save it.

What happens to my planning and reflection notes?

They stay with the lesson you wrote them for. When you regenerate or refine that lesson, Milo uses those notes to steer the draft.

Does lesson and unit planning include student information?

Unit and lesson drafts are built from your class, grades and the expectations you choose, not from student records. When you adapt a text, worksheet or rubric for one student, Milo uses the short profile you wrote for them, and the student's name is replaced by a placeholder before anything is sent to the AI.

Is it grounded in UDL and Growing Success?

Yes. Lessons are written to follow the Ontario curriculum, Growing Success and Universal Design for Learning. Each activity comes with checks for understanding, links to the learning goals and success criteria, and UDL variations: choices, representations and supports.
