Special Education Reviews

These reviews focus on special education planning, differentiation, and the need for flexible instructional organization.

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 Curriculum is perfect. Every school should be using it, especially if you have co-teachers!!!

this website has made an insurmountable task (differentiating for a thousand different students) into a challenging but manageable puzzle.

It is awesome for a new teacher needing guidance on how to prepare a lesson plan. It provides thought provoking questions and helps to differentiate instruction.

I have used CC for the past three years, and I can't imagine not having it. It allows me to collaborate with fellow teachers, and the special education department effortlessly. I love it!

I like how flexible and adaptive Common Curriculum is. I can make it work well for me without having to worry about spending time filling in boxes just for the sake of finishing them. It's useful, efficient, and effective. It also makes collaborating with my co-teacher a breeze.

Cc has completely streamlined my co-planning process with my 4 different co-teachers. As an 8th grade team, we now share an 8th Group and everyone can see one another's planbooks. I think it created more of a sense of trust in each other as team members.

As a Special Education teacher, it helps because I can view my co-teacher's lesson plans for the day/week/month so that I can seamlessly integrate team teaching into our inclusion classes.

Common Curriculum is incredibly useful. I teach 7 grades across 3 different buildings, and with tons of differentiation required in the first few grades (and a little still required at later grades). This tool helps me stay organized, plan ahead and connect content without being overwhelmed (which is huge for the job that I have). This is THE tool that I use to keep my standards together while building my curriculum and connecting curricular tools with benchmarks and classroom resources.

Cc saves me so much time, and documents everything I need to make sure my students are getting ample instructional time to meet our state standards. My principals, parents and co-teacher all love the information it provides, and I love that I can print/post copies specific to each group of stakeholders. My administrators can see my standards coverage; my parents can see homework and lesson activities; my co-teachers and spec. ed staff can see my accommodations/modifications documented.

Common Curriculum has changed my life! As a special education teacher, my day and lessons are always changing to fit the current needs of my kiddos. Common Curriculum allows me to quickly and easily adjust my lessons as needed. I love it!

As a special education teacher I like being able to find the state standards with ease. I can print out a comprehensive plan for my subs with just a click. I can transfer lessons to the next day if a kid is absent. The ease of Cc is time saving. :) I love it!

What teachers mention in special education reviews

Special education planning often requires more context, more adjustments, and more coordination than a simple daily plan.

These reviews show how teachers use Common Planner to manage detail while still keeping plans readable and usable.
