What People Are Saying

“Atlas gives you an opportunity to communicate with other teachers, share ideas, and collaborate. It helps a new teacher come in and see this is what we are doing for the year. This our plan.”

Kevin English | Perrysburg School District, Ohio

“Atlas is not about filling in boxes. This is about designing instruction. In addition to having a place where we’re housing our curriculum…the bigger goal is to say how do we ensure that every second-grade classroom is providing the same level of learning for our students?”

Raina Kor | Irvington School District, NY

“This is allowing our 4th grade teachers to see what is going on in 5th grade. Our 8th grade teachers to see what is going on in 9th. That’s the nice piece about having a dynamic, online platform. [Atlas] is helping to build that communication.

Dr. Peter Lancia | Westbrook School Department, ME

“Candidly, Atlas is a great resource for people to take advantage of because you are never done and you are constantly revising … it’s not even about the adults in that process, it is about the kids.”

Dr. Matt Crowley | Woburn Schools, MA

“Atlas was a catalyst in allowing our curriculum to move ahead in a lot of great ways over the last few years. Before, the curriculum had not been written down in a form that could be easily accessed and have the flexibility to be revised and changed on a regular basis.”

Meghan Kimpton | The Meridian School

“Atlas revealed itself to be concrete tool to facilitate teacher growth and development. We began using reports to share information in a variety of ways and the reporting tool instantly became relevant in our meetings.”

Pamela Penna | The Park School, MA

The value for mapping from my perspective is that it is a collaborative process in and of itself. Atlas gives you the flexibility to fit the mapping process into your strategic thinking at large. The beautiful thing about Atlas is that it is also an opportunity to talk about teaching.

Simon Owen-Williams | Portledge School, NY

“The beauty of Atlas is that everything the teacher types in this year is archived so it will be there next year. Our teachers love this…they can just go year to year and make modifications.”

Karey Reed | Global Education Excellence, MI

“Principals, assistant principals, heads of departments… are actively working with teams to tweak and build their units. Part of that protocol is that Atlas is open and someone is documenting the conversation and updating the units as they are going through the process.”

Ryan Silverthorne | British Columbia International School of Bangkok

“We didn’t have this where I worked before. It is so nice to come to a place where I don’t have to wonder — what are the most important things to teach.”

Dr. RJ Webber | Novi Community School District, MI

ATL Skills Progression: How to Plan and Track Progress

Nov 26, 2019 | Curriculum Development, IBDP, IBMYP, IBPYP, Teaching Strategies

Are we building skills because they shape who we are and how we can contribute to a better society? This leads us to ask ourselves, when thinking about implementing progression in the ATL skills, “why we are doing it?”. This is essential and best done as a faculty as it frames the nature of the venture. Are we teaching skills for improving a student’s functional competence or it the goal bigger than that?

Okullarda Sürdürülebilir Mesleki Gelişim Tasarimlari Nasil Yapilandirilir?

Nov 25, 2019 | Curriculum Development, Educator Insights, Teaching Strategies

Mesleki gelişim ne ifade eder? ile söze başlamak isterim. Birçoğumuzun mesleki gelişim denilince aklına konferans, atölye, çalıştay gibi mesleki gelişim olanağı sağlayan ortamlar aklımıza geliyor. Ancak bu yeterli midir? Oysa ki mesleki gelişimi böyle sınırlandırmak yerine hayatımızın her alanındaki kişisel ve mesleki gelişimi sürdürülebilir hale dönüştürmemiz gerekir.

Build Your Institutional Memory with Atlas

Nov 25, 2019 | Curriculum Development

Imagine yourself as a teacher starting to work in a new school; wouldn’t it be nice to see what the students learned the year before right with one click? Besides, for the accreditation
visits; reporting would be beneficial to prove the terms of education you are providing. Your institutional
memory is not only a proof of your curriculum progress, but also a professional way of storing your teaching
plans and more.
