What is Unit Planner?
Unit Planner is a whole-school, web-based, comprehensive integrated curriculum planning tool for teachers, and a reporting tool for leaders. Unit Planner gives all staff access to a library of instructional units.
How does it work?
Unit Planner enables educators to easily access all the information they need to do their job while keeping their focus on learning. Lesson planning resources, curriculum guidelines, assessments and teaching strategies are brought together in a logically-sequenced format by Unit Planner, giving teachers a common language and shared perspective with which to learn from and teach each other.
By creating a unit in Unit Planner and connecting with others via your Unit Planner subscription, teachers can generate a range of reports and documents from just one data-entry process. These reports track and map units across all subjects and grade levels.
