We’ve Got a New Name: Common Planner

Common Curriculum is now Common Planner. Same team, same mission, new name. We couldn’t be more excited to share this with you! Ahh! 🍾

Don’t worry! Nothing about your account or planbooks changes. In the next few weeks, we’ll be automatically moving everyone over to our new spiffy domain name: commonplanner.com.

What do I need to do?

Nothing! Just keep signing in where you sign in and we’ll make sure you’re on the right page. Your login, planbooks, and everything else stay exactly the same.

The only optional step: If you have bookmarks or class websites, you can change them to www.commonplanner.com but if you don’t, that’s okay! We’ll take care of moving them automatically.

So, why the change and why Common Planner?

Our old name didn’t quite capture what our product really is. At our core, we help teachers plan and stay organized, so they can have more time to do all the other parts to get ready for the lesson.

But, the main reason was our old name was just sooo confusing. We don’t make curriculum, and we’re not the Common Core. Plus, do you know how many times we’ve misspelled our own name? Way too many. We’re a lesson and unit planner, not a curriculum provider. Now, when you tell colleagues about this cool tool you use, you won’t get those confused looks anymore.

Of all the names, why did we choose to switch to Common Planner? First, it was available. That was important. Second, we wanted something that felt the same, but more accurate. So, we kept the “Common” and changed “Curriculum” to “Planner”.

What’s staying the same

• Same product you rely on for fast, flexible planning
• Same team and same mission to support teachers and schools
• The same spirit of “Common” — planning together. Create lessons and units as a team, share ideas, and collaborate across classrooms, time, and space. 🚀

Quick FAQs

Do my email or passwords change?

No. Your email and password stays the same and your data is safe.

Will links to commoncurriculum.com still work?

Yes. Existing links and bookmarks will continue to work. We’re gradually moving everything over to the new domain and adding redirects where needed.

Does billing or my subscription change?

No. Plans, pricing, and billing details are unchanged.

What about integrations and embeds?

Nothing breaks. If you use links in docs, LMS, bookmarks, or class websites they’ll keep working.

Where can I get help if something seems off?

If anything seems off, or if you try to use www.commonplanner.com and it’s blocked, email us at support@commonplanner.com and we’ll jump on it.

For school and district admins

If you manage a school or district account, here are a few optional housekeeping items:

• Share the new URL: commonplanner.com
• Update any staff bookmarks or LMS links when convenient
• If you whitelist domains, add commonplanner.com alongside commoncurriculum.com
• Let your team know that nothing about logins, data, or billing has changed

Looking ahead

We’re so excited about this next chapter with you! We will keep spiffing up the site and supporting teachers and admins just like we always have. We’re building stuff that makes your day easier, planning faster, and working with your team smoother.

Thanks so much for being part of our community. We’re so excited to continue this journey with you as Common Planner. 💕
