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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

The features that are available such as adding several subjects, customizing it to your schedule, adding standards, adding pics etc. I have used other programs and this is BY FAR the best. I have shown it to several other teachers and one told me it saved her life.

What teachers mention in customizable lesson planner reviews

Customization matters because teachers rarely plan in one universal format. These reviews show how flexibility helps the planner fit the classroom instead of forcing the classroom to fit the tool.

The testimonials are especially useful for teachers with complex schedules, multiple preps, or planning routines that do not match a generic template.
