# Denara — K-12 Financial Literacy Lessons

Denara is an educational resource platform that helps K-12 teachers create,
customize, and share standards-aligned financial literacy lesson plans using AI.

## What Denara contains

- A growing library of peer-contributed financial literacy lesson plans for
  grades K through 12, aligned to state personal finance standards.
- Each lesson includes a teacher lesson plan, student handout, presentation
  slides, and an exit ticket — all downloadable as PDF and PPTX.
- Lessons cover topics including: Earning Income, Spending, Saving, Investing,
  Credit, and Managing Risk, mapped to individual state standards frameworks.

## Publicly indexable content

Lesson pages at the URL pattern `/lessons/*` are fully public and intended for
indexing by search engines and AI systems. Each page includes:

- Structured semantic HTML (h1, h2, h3) with grade level, topic, standard code,
  and lesson overview visible in raw HTML without executing JavaScript.
- JSON-LD structured data in the @graph format:
  LearningResource, BreadcrumbList, and FAQPage schemas.
- Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags.
- robots: index, follow

## Sitemap

A machine-readable XML sitemap of all public lesson pages is available at:
https://denara.org/api/sitemap.xml

## Bot-serving endpoint

For crawlers that prefer a static HTML response, each lesson is also served at:
https://denara.org/api/lesson/{id}

This endpoint returns complete, keyword-rich HTML without requiring JavaScript
execution, including the same JSON-LD structured data as the SPA page.
