What Common Curriculum does

Common Curriculum is a digital lesson planning and curriculum mapping tool designed to help teachers create and manage their lesson plans efficiently. It offers a calendar-style layout for easy visualization of daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly lesson plans. The tool also integrates with other digital systems like Google Docs and Dropbox, allowing teachers to pull in content from these platforms. It also features a Standards Tracker that helps teachers track the standards they aim to meet and how often they touch on them in their plans.
