Every teacher understands the value of unit planning; it’s the backbone of effective teaching. A good unit plan keeps lessons purposeful and aligns activities to outcomes.
The reality is that it takes time. Planning can feel like an endless cycle of curriculum demands, resource creation and constant adjustments. Atomi helps ease that load so teachers can focus on what really matters: teaching and learning.
Without a strong plan, teachers often find themselves:
Rebuilding units from scratch each year
Struggling to balance theory, practice and assessment prep
Losing time searching for or creating quality resources
Adjusting mid-unit to close engagement or knowledge gaps
Good planning saves time, keeps learning aligned and helps students see the bigger picture.
How to embed Atomi into unit plans
Start with the curriculum: Search by syllabus descriptor to find lessons aligned to the outcomes or descriptors you’re targeting. Open the lesson and check that it meets your class's needs.
Subject matter:
Syllabus descriptor:
Open the lesson to check that it meets your class’s needs.
Copy the lesson link: it can be used with any class, year on year
On the side of the course menu using the three dots OR
On the lesson, video or quiz itself
Sequence with purpose: Once you have the link, map Atomi lessons, videos, and quizzes into your weekly plan alongside classroom activities.
Paste into your program at the right stage of your unit.
Access actionable insights from student performance data to adjust mid-unit and target support where needed.
Where Atomi fits in your pedagogy
Atomi lessons and quizzes can be used at different points in a learning sequence:
Before class: Activate prior knowledge by assigning a video or quiz for homework.
Beginning of class: Hook interest by playing a short Atomi video and pausing for discussion.
During class: Use quizzes for whole-class or small-group practice, then adjust teaching based on results. You can also use quizzes as ready-made exit tickets.
After class: Reinforce concepts by setting targeted lessons for revision or extension.
Revision: Direct students to rewatch key videos or use Strength Scores and Revision Reminders to focus study.
Plan for differentiation: Assign extension or support lessons in advance to meet learners where they are
Tip: Build lesson links directly into your unit plan so they’re ready to reuse each year without extra work.
Collaboration made easy
Because Atomi lesson links remain consistent each year, faculties can embed them once into shared programs and reuse them across classes. This allows teams to:
Share consistent resources department-wide
Adapt lessons for different classes without creating duplicates
Build collective expertise and save time across the faculty
The bottom line
Atomi makes unit planning easy by allowing you to link back to resources that can be used class by class, year on year. It supports teachers in planning with quality, curriculum-aligned resources that are made to engage with learners today.
