New Teacher Reviews

These reviews highlight how new teachers use Common Planner to build planning routines and stay organized.

It’s customizable and streamlines everything. As a new teacher, it’s been a lifesaver for staying on track—snow day? I just bump the lesson. Need extra time for a unit? Easy. No erasing, no sticky notes, no chaos.

This platform helped me fine tune my own lesson planning process. The outlines provided are very sleek and user-friendly. I leaned into CommonCurriculum at the beginning of my very first year of teaching. This program made my life and the lives of my class parents far smoother than I could've hoped for.

It keeps me organized in a way that no other software or platform does. It was created for teachers, and it serves its purpose precisely. I recommend it to all the new teachers that start at my school.

Common Curriculum makes life for beginning teachers much more manageable! Beginning teachers often spend many hours trying to reinvent the wheel every day. With Common Curriculum beginning teachers can share lesson plans with colleagues. This enables them to keep on track with others and also personalize other's lessons.
No more reinventing the wheel every day.

I am a teacher educator and I recommend this to all of my pre-service teachers because of the ease it brings to their ability to collaborate with each other and the structures this provides with incredible flexibility.
