Student and Parent Sharing Reviews
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!
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.
Common Planner has absolutely revolutionized my classroom. It has provided me with an organizational tool that is customizable to my and my students' needs. Moreover, it has given my students access as well so that they can keep up even during absences. Related to that, I can keep my student apace of the schedule even during weather-related emergencies like we are actively experiencing right now! (My AP students will continue their lessons remotely even though the school has a scheduled snow day for tomorrow!)
Why did I pick 10 out of 10? Because this particular educational aid has literally improved my work-life balance while amplifying my impact as a teacher. It's an extraordinary educational app to those who take the time to utilize it!
So easy to use! The best part is the class website! It's like a ready made hyper-doc that helps my students navigate their daily work.
CC has been a lifesaver! I can seamlessly connect learning objectives and lessons to state curriculum standards, so I always have that info ready to share with admin. I love the "push lesson forward/backward" option as I can easily keep my lessons updated through school cancellations. The option to post to a class website allows students and parents to stay up-to-date with class when students are absent.
This is hands down the best teacher planner...ever. My planning is so efficient and streamlined. I can easily move lessons around, copy/paste, and create new lesson templates. I love that it tracks standards. I use the website function to display my plans as an agenda for the students so I don't have to create a separate slideshow or agenda. (I just hide the cards I don't want them to see)
I have used this planbook for over a year now and thoroughly love how easy it is to plan, bump, pull back, and change. I also use the class website to keep my kids updated on every change
It's fast, efficient, and provides a handy homework calendar for my students.
I really enjoy the professional look the website gives. Colleagues and parents see lesson plans that are easy to read.
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.
It's awesome to have a digital record of lesson plans, with attachments and links right there and the class website is so easy!
