So helpful and flexible. Things can be shifted and modified. This is what I post to the class website so the state, admin, and parents can see the outcomes and standards. So far, this program is second to none for me. Thank you, CP team!
It's every teacher's dream.
The fact that each section of my day is separated with colors, really helps my brain organize. I used to use a notebook and highlight with different colors, but this planner does it for me!!! :) Thank you! The clean, clear layout is simply wonderful. Also, I love the fact that I can basically set up any feature that I need on this planner, exactly how I want it!
It was so easy to set up and use! I am a music teacher and see multiple grades. Common Planner kept me organized and allowed me to add links and copy/paste lessons easily among classes in the same grade. What a lifesaver!
It's easy to use and I love the lesson template options. Support is also top notch!
I love that it is free for teachers and allows me to link all of the necessary documents so everything I need for my day is sitting right on my desktop each morning when I walk in.
This is the best planner I have ever used! I love how I am able to customize each class. It keeps me so organized through out my day.
I love being able to have one place to type our plans for the whole team. Everyone on my team has access to the plans!
It has been so helpful for planning my 40 remediation groups that I have each week. It is very user friendly and visually aesthetic.
I find it to be convenient with minimal clicks to get things done. Connecting materials to my lessons is easy so they are convenient to access during instruction time.
I love common planner! I love that I can plan anywhere - from home, in the car, in a coffee shop - and then have access to everything I need as soon as the school day starts. I also love how easy it is to share my lesson plans with the substitute or paraprofessional.
Common Planner is a game changer in lesson planning. The ability to add learning standards and share my plans with others effortlessly is a game changer!
CP not only helps me be organized as a teacher, it helps my students to get a clear overview of the material.
It’s easy to use, very well organized, has the standard cards in each lesson, and makes lesson planning easy and efficient. I also love being able to access my lessons wherever I am at and being able to access links in my lessons.
This planning program is exactly what I have been looking for since I started teaching 21 years ago. Nothing else I ever tried or created has done everything I wanted it to, so I quickly abandoned them...[CP] meets all my planning needs!
I have tried many online lesson planners and was ready to just give up on them. Then, I found CP! You don't have to be a techie type of person to use it! I absolutely LOVE how easy it is to set up and it's a breeze moving plans when needed.
This is a very aesthetically pleasing and easy program to use. It is perfect for teachers who aspire to have an organized paper planner but can’t manage to keep up with it.
It’s the best curriculum program, hands down. I love how easy it is to set up and customize to my classes and schedules. I’ve used other online curriculum / lesson planners, but this is definitely the best!
My Common Planner keeps me sane! I love having all my plans in one place and having access to my plans across any device. The flexibility and functionality is amazing. I recommend it to all my teacher friends!
Love it! Makes planning and accessing planner in multiple places easy. I like that I can bump lessons up or pull them back.
It’s AMAZING! I love how you can customize your lesson plans and put everything in one place I can share it with administration and they can easily see my lesson plans without me sending them a separate document.
I can share with my colleagues, make changes easily without crossing things out or erasing, and I can set up the template the way I want. If I get sick, I can quickly access my plans from home, download a pdf, and send them to my school’s secretary to be printed for the sub.
If I can teach it to myself, anyone can. It's incredibly intuitive.
Common Planner has made it much easier for me to plan - for regular days, sub plans, and remote instruction - and to share it with my co-teacher so she knows how she can best support our students.
Common Planner is my go-to for lesson planning. I love the personalization of the templates and being able to add things that work for me and remove what doesn’t. I don’t know how I survived before Common Planner!
This is, by far, the simplest, most user friendly lesson planner I have ever used. Making changes is easy and I can copy from one lesson to another.
Common Planner provides me with everything that I need in a lesson planner. It allows me to share to my Google Classroom and my admin/parents. It is appealing and allows me to customize it to what I want. I love it!
I’ve been in education for 27 years and I’ve been with you all since the early days, and ...I’ve never found a replacement for CP. The link to CP in my website is absolutely INVALUABLE! CP is crucial in my planning and delivery of instruction.
Everything you need to add, change, or bump in your daily curriculum. No more tedious handwriting out plans each week
This is so user-friendly! Now I don't have to create tables inside a Google Doc to plan my units.
This makes my teaching life more organized and accessible. I could not imagine planning without it.
I linked the day to my Google classroom so students at home in Zoom and students in class can see the standards and objectives for the day. And students who are absent can still follow the activities for the day!
This planbook helps me actually keep lessons organized and is the only way I’ve been able to effectively plan from year to year. Hands down my favorite teaching tool.
This will be my 3rd year teaching and I wish I would have discovered this sooner. I used the free trial last school year and it was a total game changer! My lessons went smoother, I felt more organized, and I felt like a better teacher.
Seriously Beautiful
This is life changing
I've found the holy grail
Common Planner is my go-to for lesson planning. I love the personalization of the templates and being able to add things that work for me and remove what doesn't. I don't know how I survived before Common Planner!
So easy to use and I'm a paper and pencil girl!
I never thought I could use a digital planner, now I'll never go back!
Earth shatteringly helpful
SO great for long term subs and easy to share your plans with team members.
The SOL's for Virginia are provided so they can be put in your plans with 1 click. A nice outline of the year is easy to plan with the Unit Timeline view. Days can easily be copied, bumped ahead, or changed to a "no school day". There are suggested formats, but you can set up your own format for your plans. There is a link that can be shared with administrators or parents to see the plans and links can be placed all throughout the plans. It just makes my life easier.
The AI feature made what I was thinking into reality.
The AI feature makes planning so much faster!...Common Planner is ridiculously helpful as it can search and apply state standards.
It's one of the best professional digital teaching tools I have ever found.
I honestly couldn’t teach without Common Planner. Everything’s in one place. It’s easy to copy last year’s plans and adapt them, and I add a quick reflection after each lesson so I know what to tweak next time. It’s my one-stop shop.
This program is a time and life saver, I don't understand how I did anything before it.
This program has made lesson planning so much easier for me. I wish I'd known about it sooner. And, yes, I am telling everyone else about it and how wonderful it is. It has made lesson planning a breeze where it was a tortuous chore. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Your AI is your most amazing feature yet! You just saved me hours of planning time by helping to correlate my lessons to our new standards and by offering so many differentiation options.
