Units in Redmenta

Units organise your teaching content into curriculum-based building blocks instead of isolated worksheets. Each unit contains core content and sample activities prepared at school or institutional level that you can adapt for each of your classes.​

Units also turn AI into a guided assistant: AI works inside your units and curriculum, rather than generating random, one-off materials. This keeps planning faster and outputs closer to your standards and learning goals.

Admins / instructional designers

• Create and edit unit templates for each subject (the “master” versions everyone else uses).
• Decide the order of units in a subject (what usually comes first, next, and last).
• Add core content, sample activities, and short guidance so teachers never start from a blank page.

Teachers

• Open their subjects and see all units with statuses (Upcoming, In progress, Completed).
• Pick a unit (usually the suggested next one) and create a copy for a specific class.
• Adapt that unit for the class: edit activities, add new ones, remove some, and differentiate for groups or individual students.
• Assign activities to students inside the unit and see how the class is progressing in that unit.

Students

• Open a subject and see their work organised into units instead of random tasks.
• See which units are current, which are coming next, and which are already completed.
• Open a unit to see all activities they need to do for that topic in one place, and complete them there.

How it works:

Step 1 – Open your subject

• Go to the subject you teach.​
• You see a list of units with statuses: Upcoming, In progress, Completed.​

Step 2 – Choose the unit

• Redmenta highlights a suggested next unit for you.​
• You can use that unit or pick a different one from the list.​

Step 3 – Create a class copy

• Open the unit and create a copy for a specific class.​
• Core content and sample activities are already inside; you are not starting from an empty page.​

Step 4 – Adapt for your students

• Edit the existing activities, add new ones, or delete what you don’t need.​
• Differentiate tasks for groups or individual students within the same unit.​

Step 5 – Assign activities

• Assign the unit’s activities to your students.​
• Students see their activities grouped under that unit in the subject.​

FAQ:

1. Is this taking away teacher agency?

No. Units provide structure and suggestions, but teachers still choose how to teach, what to adapt, and which activities to use.

2. Do we need a full curriculum team to get value from units?

No, but the more your instructional designers or lead teachers contribute unit templates and sequences, the more helpful the system becomes for everyone.

3. How does this relate to AI in Redmenta?

AI works inside a unit structure. Instead of random prompts, it builds and adapts activities within agreed units, so content is closer to your standards and goals.

4. What if our school already has a curriculum document?

You can translate your existing curriculum into units and sequences in Redmenta, then keep improving them over time.

5. Who creates the first set of units?

Typically, an admin, instructional designer, or lead teacher creates or imports the first unit templates, then other teachers reuse and adapt them.

6. Can different subjects use units in different ways?

Yes. Each subject can have its own unit structure and level of detail, from broad themes to very granular units.

7. What happens if a teacher wants to change the unit order?

Teachers can follow the suggested sequence or choose any unit from the list; the system makes a recommendation, not a rule.

8. Can teachers still create their own units from scratch?

Yes. Teachers can create new units where they need them, then these can later be reviewed and adopted by admins if useful.

9. How do units support differentiation?

Within a unit, teachers can assign different activities to different groups or students, while still keeping everyone anchored to the same overall goals.

10. What do students actually see in this first phase?

In the early milestones, students will mainly see subjects and units, with activities grouped inside each unit; more advanced student views come later.

11. Can we align units with national or local standards?

Yes. You can design units around your standards, and include those references in descriptions, guidance, and activities.

12. Will units work for both primary and secondary education?

Yes. The structure is flexible enough to support early-years topics and more complex secondary subjects.

13. How do we stop AI outputs from drifting away from our curriculum?

By anchoring AI to units and sample activities defined by your team, you narrow the space in which AI operates and keep it closer to your curriculum.

14. Can we reuse units across school years?

Yes. Units can be refined and reused each year, so your curriculum gets better instead of being rebuilt from scratch.

15. How does this help new or less experienced teachers?

New teachers start with clear units, sample activities, and a suggested sequence, so they have less guesswork and more guidance from day one.

16. Can different schools in a district share the same units?

Yes, if your setup allows it. District-level unit templates can be shared across schools, while each school can still adapt locally if needed.

17. What training will staff need to use units?

Most staff will only need a short introduction: how to pick units, adapt activities, and assign work. Admins and instructional designers may need a deeper session on setting up sequences.

18. What if our teachers prefer to keep their own way of planning?

Units don’t stop teachers planning in their own style, but they offer a shared structure and starting point that can sit alongside existing habits.

19. Can we see which units are actually being used?

Over time, reporting will show which units are adopted, how often they’re used, and where there are gaps or overlaps, starting with basic usage data and growing richer later.

20. Is this only useful for very organised schools?

No. Units help highly organised schools codify what they already do, and they help less structured schools take their first step towards a clearer, shared curriculum.
