PatioLab is a lesson planner built specifically for Physical Education teachers — K–12. It combines a library of 600+ activities tagged with SHAPE America National PE Standards, a visual session editor (warm-up → main activity → cool-down), a live timer you can run right from your phone on the field, and a built-in tournament planner. Everything in one place, without printouts or separate spreadsheets.
Yes. Every activity in the library can be tagged with the SHAPE America National Physical Education Standards (Standards 1–5). PatioLab automatically generates a coverage report for each class, showing which standards you've addressed — and how often — across the school year. Physical Education is recognized as a core subject under ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act), and PatioLab's lesson plan documentation supports the evidence your district may require. It also includes a formal lesson plan generator you can export to PDF or print for your department portfolio.
PatioLab is designed to support the planning side of a CSPAP. The activity library covers structured PE lessons, warm-up routines, active breaks, and Field Day events. SHAPE America's Standard 3 (health-enhancing physical activity) and Standard 5 (personal responsibility) are both directly addressable through PatioLab's tracking and lesson history tools.

No download needed: PatioLab runs entirely in the browser. You can also add it to your phone's home screen as a PWA and it opens just like a native app. The "On the field" mode keeps working even when the gym or field has spotty Wi-Fi, because the active session is cached on your device.
