Lesson planning

The job here is structure, not prose. A tool earns a place in this category if it produces a sequence a teacher can actually run — timings, activities, checks for understanding — rather than an essay about the topic. Watch for two failure modes: plans that assume a class size and length nobody has, and plans that quietly invent the curriculum standard they claim to align with.
