OnCourse Lesson Planner
What it is
OnCourse Lesson Planner is a cloud-based planning service for K–12 schools and districts, built around lesson planning and curriculum alignment. Teachers can use personalized weekly templates, search and reuse past lessons, and shift plans forward or backward when schedules change. Districts can customize templates for approaches such as Understanding by Design, or let teachers create and share templates. Teachers can collaborate on plans, submit them to administrators, and receive supervisor feedback. The annual subscription includes updated academic standards for common content areas; OnCourse says its Academic Benchmarks library contains more than 4 million standards. Teachers can connect instructional resources from Google or OneDrive. Homework and resources can be posted online automatically, and Teacher Websites are included with every subscription. Native iOS and Android apps support writing and submitting plans, as well as supervisor review and feedback. Reports cover standards coverage, plan review rates, supervisor comments, and linked items such as accommodations and strategies. The service requires no software installation and has no multi-year obligation. Pricing is provided on request; Multiple Measures is an add-on.
