About Us / Testimonials
- “ The OnCourse online lesson plan layout and interface is one of the most user friendly I've ever encountered. ”
- Joseph Tkacik, Eagle Ridge Elementary, Baldwin County Schools
- “ I have been using Online planning for the past few weeks and my plans have never been easier or quicker to complete! ”
- Patricia Martin, P.S. 22, Jersey City School District
- “ I never in my wildest dreams thought lesson plans would be so easy to prepare and easy to access from OnCourse. They have certainly made my job more productive. The end result is I take less time to prepare lesson plans and have more time for instruction and interacting with the students. ”
- Bob Barry, Music Teacher, Camden Public Schools
- “ Using OnCourse has dramatically cut the time it takes to do my plans leaving me with more time to actually prepare for the lessons. It's also a 'living document'. Any time a change is needed it only takes a click in the box to modify my plans. At this point, I'd be lost without my on-line lesson plans. ”
- Cindy Haynicz, Aura Elementary School, Elk Township School District
- “ OnCourse has made my lesson planning quicker and easier. I especially like the load recurring feature which frees me from writing many phrases that I use repeatedly in my lesson plans. I do not have to keep writing the lesson planning format that I have set up. I just have to use the load recurring feature and it is there. I also like the cut and paste feature provided for each space. This allows me to easily move a daily plan from one period to another, even from week to week. IF you were not able to complete a lesson or you need to extend a lesson, you can easily move it from space to space with a touch of the keyboard. This program allows my supervisor to look at my plans without having to copy the plans or hand in a lesson plan book. We are saving trees. I print a hard copy for myself of each week's lesson plans. They are easy to read. The size of the spaces for each period’s lesson plan was set up by me. The space changes length according to how much print is placed in each space. The spacing is flexible. ”
- Sheila H. Vaughn, Main Road School, Township of Franklin Board of Education
- “ Using OnCourse for my lesson plans is the best idea since the computer itself. Before OnCourse, I designed my own template to write my plans on the computer, but maneuvering the plans, objectives, and information it contained was cumbersome. I no longer have to post my homework on a separate website, since OnCourse does it for me, and the classroom website is so easy to design and maintain. Additionally, no longer do I have to provide my Principal with my lesson plans and wait for them to come back, when I need them in class. The purchase of OnCourse is probably one of the best investments our school has made! ”
- Randi Rakes, 2nd Grade Teacher, Busansky Elementary, Pemberton School District
- “ OnCourse has been a 'lifesaver' for my lesson planning. The user friendly capabilities of copying, pasting and saving are extremely beneficial and streamline my lesson planning. I am a World Language Spanish teacher for grades 2-6. Knowing all of my lesson plans, along with the NJ standards attachments, are saved and backed up by Oncourse keeps me safe and secure. Future access to these plans throughout the year is so important, especially for next year! Muchas Gracias! ”
- Jennine A. Kane, World Language Spanish Teacher, Franklin Township Public Schools
- “ My experience with the OnCourse lesson planning site has been extremely positive, and as a mentor of new teachers here in Vermilion Parish, I always introduce them to the OnCourse site, which is linked to the district's homepage. It has made my time in planning lessons easy and efficient. It is always just a computer away. Organization is the key to any successful venture; OnCourse brings that to my classroom and my life as a professional. I especially like the added capability to set up a website and post valuable parent information and also to set up links to helpful sites on the web. The most useful parent and student tool has been the ability for parents and students to log on and access my homework assignments. More than one student has commented that it was extremely helpful when they had to be absent from class due to illness or other commitments. One of my students who had a tonsillectomy was able to keep up due to the site. I also find that the site is responsive. I have contacted you with a problem once before, and it was promptly attended to, fixed, and correspondence forwarded about the problem and how it was fixed. I am of the old school and truly appreciate the personal touch that your site took the extra time and effort to extend to me. ”
- Debbie Meaux, French Teacher, Kaplan High School, Vermilion Parish
- “ I found OnCourse to be very adaptable to my needs as a music specialist. It has streamlined the planning process for me and made it easier to collaborate with colleagues. ”
- Irene Sullivant, Vocal Music Specialist, Cooper's Poynt Professional Development School, Camden Public School
- “ I really like using this website for putting lesson plans on. It is very easy. I really like how easy it is to look up the standards for each lesson. ”
- Donna Johnson, Liberty County Schools
