Curricular Framework

The Dharma Learning Framework (Beta) is an open-source teaching tool with 175+ learning goals that makes the Buddha’s wisdom accessible for diverse educational contexts—from Buddhist schools to public classrooms to community groups. Educators can integrate these learning goals into social studies, philosophy, comparative religion, mindfulness, SEL, or contemplative practices. Use the search bar or browse by categories and tags. This release includes high school-level goals; age-differentiated versions are coming soon.

Generate Lesson Plan Data for AI

First click “Generate AI Lesson Planning Data” and then “Copy to Clipboard”.

For this process to actually work, you must go and paste the result into the AI tool of your choice yourself.

This seems to work quite well with Claude and ChatGPT.

After pasting what this pop-up puts in your clipboard, the AI tool (you’ve chosen) should prompt you for any additional information you may wish to include, and then create a rough draft lesson plan that you can customize and edit until it’s ready for teaching.

Disclaimer: Teach content that you are most familiar with from your own study and practice. Think through what elements will work for your students. AI makes many mistakes, so be very careful and conscientious using the results as a basis for creating your own thoughtful lessons. Approached with care and attention, this method of generating a lesson plan with AI may give you more time to focus on the most essential elements of instruction.
