Unit Planner
A planning space for building units over time — alone or with other teachers.
What is the Unit Planner?
The Unit Planner is a workspace for organizing a unit of instruction.
It helps you group lessons, activities, and ideas into a logical sequence.
Think of it as a digital unit binder that can grow and change as you teach.
🧩 When should I use it?
- Planning a multi-day or multi-week unit
- Organizing lessons in a clear sequence
- Revising a unit as you teach it
- Working with another teacher on shared curriculum
You do not need to use the Unit Planner to use the rest of the site.
👥 Collaboration
Some units allow multiple teachers to collaborate on the same plan.
- Each teacher can contribute lessons or notes
- Edits are shared across the unit
- Great for teams, departments, or co-teaching
Collaboration features depend on how the unit is set up.
What belongs in a Unit?
- Lesson titles or descriptions
- Links to Lesson Library items
- Notes about pacing or adjustments
- Ideas you want to refine later
Units can be rough drafts or polished plans — both are valid.
What the Unit Planner is NOT
- ❌ A place for one-off links (use Instructional Resources)
- ❌ A finished lesson repository (use the Lesson Library)
- ❌ A required step to use quizzes or resources
Use it when it helps. Skip it when it doesn’t.
How detailed does a unit need to be?
There is no required level of detail.
- Some units are fully mapped out
- Others are simple outlines
- Many evolve as the unit is taught
The Unit Planner is meant to support your teaching style, not replace it.
