Check out our ready-made lessons: Our top 4 December favourites

We’re on a mission to cut teacher’s lesson planning time by at least half! To help us do this we recruited a team of Teacherly Navigators, who are practicing teachers, from around the world that create ready-made lessons across the UK, US and IB curriculum. They’re all available in our Teacherly platform for you to preview and download. Here’s what one of our Teacher Navigators, Pranti says about Teacherly,

“It’s also so silly, but a lot of times you create and plan lessons but then they get lost, whether they’re on paper or stored in Google Drive. Teacherly lets you put everything in one place so you can access lessons two years down the line and use them again.” Pranti Zaveri , Grade 2 teacher, Dubai

There are 1000s of ready-made lessons to choose from and this month we’ve hand picked our favorite four to showcase. Every week from the 4 January 2021, we’ll share a new lesson on our social channels — follow us on Twitter to keep up to date. And if you would like to be a Teacherly Navigator we’d love to hear from you email us at contact@teacherly.io
