Why neither source alone is optimal

Marketplace saves time.
AI-built fills the gaps.

Marketplace curriculum is most valuable for topics taught across many schools in roughly the same way — where a subject expert has already developed the best explanation, activities, and assessments. AI-built curriculum is most valuable for content specific to your school's context — your students' prior knowledge, your department's preferred approach, your local exam board's specific requirements. No marketplace listing is calibrated to exactly this.

The blend strategy

Use marketplace for foundations.
Use AI for your school's specifics.

🛒Adopt from marketplace — core topic curriculum with strong review history
For well-established topics where a strong marketplace listing exists, adopt rather than build from scratch. Save 8–15 hours of production time per unit.
🤖Build with AI — topic-specific adaptations and gap-filling
Use AI for: units where no strong marketplace listing exists, adaptations of adopted curriculum to your specific students, and bridging lessons that connect adopted units to your school's sequence.
📊Always own the formative data — regardless of curriculum source
Whether you adopted a marketplace unit or built with AI, the formative assessments are yours — you administer them, collect the data, and iterate the next lesson. The agile teaching loop runs on top of whatever curriculum source you use.
Maintaining coherence across sources

Adopted + AI-built should
feel like one curriculum.

The solution is a school-level curriculum style guide — even a one-page document — that specifies: lesson format, formative assessment structure (the 3-question check from P6/C3), differentiation approach (the three-level framework from P6/C8), and vocabulary standards. Used as a review standard for both adopted and AI-built curriculum, the result is coherent across sources.
