Teacher Resources in Kira

It takes a lot of resources to teach, and Kira has you covered!

Kira Learning aims to provide not only a high-quality platform and content, but also materials and professional learning opportunities that support teachers for success in helping their students learn.

✏️ Please note: If you used Kira for Computer Science prior to March 2026, when tools were more limited, you may have used our Legacy Resources.

You can learn more about those and changes we have made to the platform to make resource creation more personalized and flexible in our Teacher Resource Plans document.

What if I need...

A printed version of my course or lesson?

You can print PDFs of Kira courses or lessons directly from the course or lesson editor view. Find the course in your Library and click it open - then select the down carrot next to the course name and select 'Export.'

Note that very digital elements of the course that do not print well will have placeholders instead. This includes things like videos, whiteboards, action tiles, etc. Everything else will print in a way that students can easily engage with on paper.

If you know you intend a lesson to be printed, you may want to work with the Ask Kira AI to make edits for formatting ahead of time.

An answer key?

Using the same flow as above, simply select 'Teacher Key' instead of 'Student Copy.' The same rules for highly digital elements like videos rendering as placeholders.

Course information?

You guessed it - this is printable in the same flow as above! You can find course information by clicking the three lines with dots next to the course Table of Contents. Here you can also make edits or regenerate this information.

A printable lesson plan?

Utilize the Homepage chat! Simply tell it the lesson you need a lesson plan for, and it will generate one that you can edit and print. You can work to iterate this to pull relevant standards or any other necessary information into your lesson plan.

Tip: You can also view standards associated with a lesson after you've completed Standards Tagging by selecting 'Question Settings' on any activity.

Slides?

A Kira Lesson can be anything you need - including slides! Google Slide decks can be embedded right into a Kira lesson if you already have one you'd like to use, or you can upload one via the AI Chat and ask Kira to take the contents and turn them into a Kira lesson.

You can also prompt the Kira AI to turn an existing lesson into something that is more slides-esque/presenter friendly, or have it generate a new 'lesson' in the style of slides on a certain topic.

Guided notes?

Work with the Homepage chat to make something printable, or build them directly into Kira! After our updates in March 2026, Kira lesson support many questions and activity types in a single question - you can create Kira lessons that better allow students to track their thinking and learning.

An Assessment?

Did you know that you can make assessments right in Kira? Click Create in your lefthand navigation panel and then select Assessments. You can create an assessment based on existing course material, generate from a prompt, create by uploading an existing assessment, and more!
