A stronger starting point

Keep the rigor of great PBL without the blank-page burden

Planning is the creative heart of teaching. Inkwire Design brings inspiration and joy back to it, keeping your expertise and voice at the center rather than automating it away.

Plan with AI

Use AI guidance inside an instructional framework rather than generating disconnected activities.

Align what matters

Connect units and lessons to academic standards and local graduate portrait or workforce competencies.

Build shared capacity

Develop an internal library of curriculum, instructional resources, and community assets for educators to reuse.

Standards and competencies

Design for the outcomes your community values

Align learning to national, state, or district academic standards and import a local competency framework such as a Portrait of a Graduate.

Whether your community works from a nationally recognized framework, your state's portrait, or one your educators wrote themselves, the copilot designs against it.

Selecting standards and competencies in Inkwire Design

Competency frameworks

Every graduate portrait, in one picker

Nationally recognized frameworks and state portraits are built in. Your own competencies can be imported and used the same way.

Public frameworks

Widely used competency frameworks, ready to design against on day one.

  • XQ Competencies
  • Future9
  • Deeper Learning Competencies
  • NTN Learning Outcomes
  • Building 21

State portraits

State graduate portraits and learner profiles, already loaded and kept current.

  • Kentucky Portrait of a Learner
  • New York Portrait of a Graduate (NY Inspires)
  • California Portrait of a Learner
  • North Carolina Portrait of a Graduate

Yours

Import your district's own Portrait of a Graduate or competency framework and design against it like any other.

  • Your Portrait of a Graduate
  • Your learner profile
  • Your workforce competencies

Shared curriculum

Turn local knowledge into an active design resource

Build an internal library of content and curriculum, upload local instructional resources, and make them available inside the learning experiences your educators create.

Community and industry partners can become part of the design process instead of living in a separate spreadsheet or directory.

Community project designs in Inkwire

Loved by educators. Built for ambitious learning.

Educators use Inkwire to move from a promising idea to a standards-aligned project without starting from a blank page.

“Inkwire was the missing piece to creating PBL for me. I really wanted to use PBL in the classroom but my ideas were lacking many components. Inkwire built my PBL into a meaningful experience for myself and my students that was easy to use.”
Aleshia E. · Elementary Teacher, Bullitt County Public Schools
“This is the innovative, creative PBL work that I’ve been striving for. Every teacher needs to use this software. EVERY teacher.”
Educator feedback
“Inkwire helps bring our ideas to life and gives us a plan to execute them. I have used it for every ELA unit we have taught this year.”
