# 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.*
