For a culture of high-quality instruction, use OnCourse to promote high-quality lesson planning.
A lesson plan can be written down anywhere. A napkin. A notebook. A Google Doc. But high-functioning organizations understand that a plan is only as good as the system used to implement it.
The OnCourse Lesson Planner was created by educators to simplify the K-12 planning process while improving the alignment of each lesson to your district’s curriculum. The OnCourse approach respects teacher autonomy, while also achieving a higher degree of consistency and rigor.
How OnCourse Improves Lesson Planning
Lesson planning, made gloriously simple.
The busiest teachers are the ones that fall in love with OnCourse the fastest. Each week, personalized lesson plan templates are ready and waiting. Past lessons can be searched and posted. Teachers can quickly connect all their favorite instructional resources from Google or OneDrive. When schedules shift, plans can be bumped forward or backward.
If your district reviews lesson plans regularly, teachers can post to administrators with a single click!
Achieve a new level of alignment and rigor.
Teachers are the composers of their own symphony, but with OnCourse, the curriculum department guides the tempo. Bring your curriculum into OnCourse and invite teachers to link their weekly progress. Teachers can use OnCourse’s searchable library of grade-level standards to identify the skills they are targeting. These actions produce valuable data to help teachers and supervisors monitor progress throughout the year.
The result: an instructional program that naturally stays in harmony with your scope and sequence.
Invite support from supervisors, colleagues, & parents.
With OnCourse, the best parts of a lesson plan can benefit every participant in the learning process. Teachers can share content with colleagues or friends in other districts. For supervisors, submitted plans arrive in an online inbox, organized by week and department. Digging through e-mails or online drives becomes a thing of the past.
To keep students and parents informed, OnCourse can automatically post a teacher’s homework or resources online.
Curriculum Portal
Keeping your curriculum in binders or Google Docs? Don't let it collect dust; import it into the OnCourse Curriculum Portal to put it a click away from teacher lesson plans.

OnCourse’s Planning Partners
Google for Education
Are your teachers prolific Google Classroom users? Is your curriculum stored in Google Docs? These tools are wonderful for collaboration but tend to leave curriculum departments lacking visibility into how well this content is aligned to the scope-and-sequence or academic standards.
Bring Google content into the OnCourse Lesson Planner to add convenient monitoring tools for curriculum departments.
Academic Benchmarks
Your OnCourse Lesson Planner subscription includes updated academic standards for most common content areas.
Through a partnership with Academic Benchmarks, OnCourse’s full library includes more than 4 million learning standards, spanning across all 50 states, national standards, CTE standards, ISTE® standards, and CollegeBoard AP® standards.

Can we customize the lesson plan templates in OnCourse?

Whether your district has their own template, or uses an industry-standard like Understanding by Design, OnCourse can be customized to facilitate your preferred method.
Is there a mobile app for the OnCourse Lesson Planner?
Yes. There are native mobile apps for iOS and Android devices. Teachers can use their device to write and submit lesson plans. Supervisors can review submitted plans and leave feedback.
What types of reports or analytics are available?
The data from OnCourse Lesson Planner can be a powerful guide for teachers, administrators, and curriculum staff. Check on important metrics like coverage of academic standards, percentage of plans reviewed, comments left by supervisors, and frequency by which teachers are linking important items (technology used, accommodations applied, strategies utilized, etc.)
