FAQ

What is an Atomic Move?

An Atomic Move is a decision-level instructional pattern, not a full lesson plan. It includes the intent, constraints, execution steps, tradeoffs, and variants so you know exactly what you are choosing and why.

Is this an AI lesson generator?

No. Every Atomic Move is an original synthesis of proven practice, backed by research provenance. AI is used to help you adapt Atomic Moves to your context and auto-fill artifacts, but it does not generate strategies from scratch.

How does ranking work?

Atomic Moves are ranked by reuse score -- how often teachers use them under similar constraints. No sponsored placement. Visibility is earned through real classroom reuse.

How much does it cost?

Browsing the Wall, filtering Atomic Moves, and saving to boards is free. Teacher Moves with premium artifacts cost $1.99 per download. Core Atomic Moves are always free to view.

How do contributors earn money?

Contributors earn $1.00 per download after processing fees. Payments are handled through Stripe Connect and deposited directly to your bank account.

What file formats can I download?

Artifacts are available as DOCX files that you can open and edit in Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or any compatible editor.
