What’s Monsha and How Can It Help?
Monsha is an AI-powered productivity tool designed for teachers and educators. It helps you plan your curriculum and create or differentiate teaching resources for yourself or your students. Monsha can significantly reduce the time spent on preparation while improving the quality of your work.
Curriculum and Lesson Planning
Monsha makes it easy to break down your curriculum into units and lessons. Within each lesson, you can:
Add resources like presentations, assessments, and worksheets.
Align content with curriculum standards, grade levels, and learning objectives.
Auto-generate lesson objectives to guide your resource creation.
Before you know it, you'll have your entire school year or semester planned and organized in one place.
Resource Creation
Monsha generates a variety of teaching resources—presentations, worksheets, vocabulary lists, reading passages, rubrics, and more—based on your topics or source materials. These resources are automatically aligned to the difficulty level, lesson objectives, or curriculum goals you specify.
You can edit, export, differentiate, and build follow-up materials from the generated content as needed.
How Does Monsha Compare to Other AI Tools?
Monsha vs. General AI Tools
Monsha is a preferred choice over tools like ChatGPT or Claude because:
No need for complex prompt engineering—you can often get by with minimal input.
Leverages multiple AI models (OpenAI, Claude, DALL-E, etc.) based on the task.
Designed specifically for teachers, built around teacher workflows.
The time you save with Monsha adds up significantly over time, especially for repeated tasks.
Monsha vs. Teacher-Specific AI Tools
Tools like MagicSchool or Brisk Teaching are great for one-off resources, but Monsha takes a broader approach:
Provides an end-to-end workflow (plan, create, edit, adapt, differentiate, export).
Maintains continuity—each task builds on the last, so there’s no need to start over.
Stores and applies context at every stage, making future work faster, easier, and more precise.
Our favorite words for describing Monsha: all-in-one, end-to-end, context-driven, iterative, aligned.
How to Create Teaching Resources Using Monsha
Monsha makes it easy to create teaching materials like lesson plans, assessments, presentations, and worksheets with a flexible, context-driven workflow. Here's how to get started:
Step 1: Log into Monsha
Visit app.monsha.ai and sign in with your personal or work email.
Once logged in, you'll land on your homepage, where all the available tools are displayed. Each tool is designed to create different types of resources.
While there may be slight variations between tools, the general workflow is outlined below.
Step 2: Assign the Resource to a Course or Lesson
You can attach your resource to a course, unit, and lesson to keep everything organized. This step also allows Monsha to align the resource with any curriculum standards or objectives already assigned to the course or lesson.
If you're not ready to assign it now, you can skip this step and add it later.
Step 3: Set the Context
This is your scope to provide Monsha with the necessary details to generate precise, relevant content.
A. Define Your Topic or Input Sources
Add reference materials to guide the AI:
Type a topic, theme, or question
URLs (articles, PDFs, research papers, websites, etc.)
YouTube videos
File uploads (documents, PowerPoints, images, etc.)
Text excerpts
B. Align with Objectives & Standards
Lesson objectives: Monsha auto-generates these based on your course structure, but you can edit them.
Curriculum standards: Select from pre-filled options (e.g., Common Core, NGSS, IB) or add custom standards.
Step 4: Configure Resource Details
Set preferences to customize your resource format and attributes. These options may vary depending on the resource type or tool you're using:
Grade Level: K-12 or university.
Language: Choose from 60+ supported languages.
Components: Select layouts, question types, multimedia (images, videos, tables), or activity structures.
Educational Frameworks: Apply Bloom’s taxonomy, Lexile reading levels, or depth-of-knowledge (DOK) levels.
Additional Instructions: Specify focus areas (e.g., critical thinking), output length, or source material preferences.
Step 5: Generate and Customize
Click Generate, and Monsha will create your resource. From there, you can:
Edit: Adjust the content to match your needs.
Enhance: Add multimedia elements like images, tables, or embedded videos.
Re-generate: Refine the output based on your feedback.
Share: Get a shareable link to distribute to colleagues or students.
Differentiate Teaching Resources
Monsha makes it simple to create multiple versions of a resource to meet the needs of diverse learners:
Translate the generated resource into any of the 60+ supported languages.
Adapt it by changing grade level, depth of knowledge (DOK), Bloom’s taxonomy level, or Lexile reading level.
Export Generated Resources
Export your resources in a variety of formats compatible with both Google Workspace and Microsoft Office. Depending on the resource type, available export options include:
Documents: PDF, DOCX, Google Docs
Presentations: PPTX, Google Slides
Spreadsheets: XLSX, CSV, Google Sheets
Forms: Google Forms
Images: PNG, JPEG
Google Classroom integration
More export options are being added regularly.
Pro Tips for Using Monsha
Build Resources from Existing Ones
Use resources you’ve already created in Monsha to save time and maintain consistency. For example, generate a lesson plan, then turn it into an assessment, study notes, or a worksheet—all within the same workflow. This reduces repetitive setup and keeps your materials aligned.
Combine Multiple Sources
Add depth and variety to your resources by mixing multiple inputs. You can combine materials like an article, text excerpt, and research paper, while keeping everything aligned to your lesson objectives.
Add Custom Instructions
Guide the AI using the ‘Additional Instructions’ field. Specify details like tone, focus areas, level of detail, or preferred output format to get more tailored results.
Assign Standards at the Lesson Level
Assign curriculum standards to the entire lesson instead of individual resources. This ensures that all resources created under the lesson are automatically aligned to the same standards.
Re-generate Resources with Feedback
If a resource needs adjustments, re-generate it to refine details like focus, layout, or length. You can also revert to a previous version or provide new input for further improvements.
How to Plan Curriculum using Monsha
Monsha helps you plan and organize your course content by breaking it into units and lessons. Here's an overview of how to structure and manage your curriculum:
Step 1: Create a New Course
After logging in, head over to app.monsha.ai/courses.
Start by creating a course, which can represent a school subject, a book, or a university course. Provide details like the course title, grade level, and language. Once created, you'll be taken to the course page where you can begin adding units and lessons.
Step 2: Add Units and Lessons
Units: Think of units as chapters or major topics taught over several weeks. Add unit titles to structure your course.
Lessons: Each unit can have multiple lessons, which represent daily or weekly class sessions. Add lesson titles, and Monsha will auto-generate lesson objectives for you.
You can easily rename or delete units and lessons as needed. Lessons are hyperlinked, allowing quick access to their specific pages.
Step 3: Organize and Attach Resources
Attach educational materials to each lesson. This could include resources generated using Monsha AI, such as lesson plans, assessments, worksheets, or your own uploaded content (e.g., links, files, or videos). Monsha aligns these resources with your course structure, ensuring consistency.
Step 4: Auto-generate Units and Lessons
Use Monsha’s AI to automatically generate units or lessons based on your course’s title, grade level, and curriculum details. You can specify how many units or lessons to create and provide optional instructions for further customization.
