The digital lesson planner for teachers who were tired of bloated apps that required a PhD to operate. Plan online from any device — simple, clean, done.
Two ways to plan — pick the one that matches how your day runs.

I'd just about given up on planner apps. Every one wanted fifteen fields filled out before I could write down a single lesson. SimpleLessonPlanner is the first one that just lets me plan. I was up and running in five minutes and haven't looked back.
I'd been searching for something this clean and this fast for ages, and nothing ever came close. It solved the exact problem I'd been wrestling with, and now I plan my whole week in the time it used to take me to fight with my old tool.
I didn't think a tool this simple could make such a big difference. My mornings are calmer, copying a lesson forward is one click, and everything is right where I need it. I've already told every teacher on my team about it.
You've tried the other planners. They promise everything and deliver a maze of menus, tabs, and setup wizards. By the time you figure out where to type your lesson, the bell has already rung.
Write your lesson, click once, and get a learning target plus success criteria drafted from what you actually wrote. Edit anything. Nothing saves until you approve it.
Switch from one day to Monday through Friday side by side. Spot the day you have not planned yet, and type straight into any of them.
See all your classes for the day at a glance. Click into any class to plan. No hunting through calendars or weekly grids.
Two simple fields: what you planned and what you accomplished. Because real teaching rarely goes exactly as planned.
Teaching the same lesson to multiple periods? Copy your plan to the next day or class with one click. No retyping.
Link your Google Drive folders to each class. See your files right alongside your lesson plan. Optional. Turn it on or off.
Mark important days with fun stickers for test days, sub days, and field trips. Visual cues that make your planner yours.
Desktop, laptop, tablet, phone. Your planner goes where you go. No app to install — just open your browser.
Set your lesson format once, and your headings appear on every day, ready to fill in. Pick a ready-made layout or build your own; never retype a heading again.
Lay out your teaching day the way it actually runs. Add classes or time blocks, reorder them, and rename or color each one so your planner matches your real schedule.
Attach state standards right to any lesson. Search your state's standards, add them to your plan in seconds, and keep your alignment documented without the busywork.
Create a team in seconds with a simple join code. Share your lesson plans with colleagues, see what they're teaching, and copy great ideas with one click. Perfect for department teams, grade-level planning, and mentoring new teachers.

No switching tools.
