Great FREE resource for lesson planning, with the bells and whistles that other sites offer for a price.

My Take

Common Curriculum is an amazing planning site that offers so much for free! Teachers have access to upload unlimited files, units and lesson plans for an unlimited number of classes. The free account also comes with the ability to collaborate with another teacher. Schools that would like to have collaborative access for all teachers pay $99 per teacher.

The features I love include the ability to create your own template, drag and drop lesson plans and units, bump lessons to another day, align to standards, share homework and assignments on your class website, print, and share with a colleague! It is also very easy to share lesson plans with your administrator. I am excited to use it this year!

How I Use It

I signed up for Common Curriculum and can hardly wait to use it next month when school begins! I have used other planning websites, but the features of this site are more inclusive, and it is free for teachers!

Excellent tool for collaborating with colleagues!

I love Common Curriculum! Not only can I keep students updated and on track on a daily basis, but I can also share my lesson plans and my curriculum with colleagues. Creating my PlanBook took a little time at first, but once I figured out the norms of the site, I had no problem advancing to sharing my lesson within a group of other math teachers in my school on Common Curriculum's website.

Great FREE resources for lesson planning and collaboration.

Low ratings on this product for student engagement are due to the fact that this is not a student-used product. I love Common Curriculum and can see a great deal of potential for keeping up with lesson planning and collaborating with professional learning communities. To me, the best part of this product is the fact that it is accessible from any computer, so lesson planning becomes a great deal easier. We've all experienced moments of brilliant insight at home into how a lesson should go the next day only to forget completely what those insights were when we arrive at school. Common Curriculum helps to eliminate this frustration!

It seems like a good idea, but it doesn't work for me.

I teach a few classes more than once a day, and couldn't put it in my plan book that way. I contacted the help desk and they got back to me rather quickly, but said it's not a feature they have or plan on having. Oh well.
