New features and improvements in TeachShare, newest first.
All 31 updates
Build a formative assessment on your standards and see where each student stands on them.
Describe what you need and Ida drafts it for you to review. Ida points out the standards your class missed and the students ready for more, then drafts a reteach for one group and an extension for the other. You decide what goes out on Monday.
Build an assessment
Bring the curriculum your district adopted, and Ida helps you turn it into a complete pacing plan.
Upload your pacing guides, scope and sequence, textbooks, or teacher editions and start today. Or request access to a curriculum in the list, among them Bluebonnet Learning, EngageNY, and Illustrative Mathematics, and once you have it, Ida pre-fills your units, standards, and lesson arc. For a different curriculum, book a quick call and we'll set yours up privately in your account.
Build your pacing plan
Launchpad is now Library, redesigned so your resources are easier to find. Everything is where you left it, and old Launchpad links still work.
Teachers new to TeachShare now start with a short welcome on Home, with a card for each way to begin. A First week list in the sidebar shows what to try next.
When you build a pacing plan, you can now upload Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx) along with PDFs and Word documents. Pacing guides and curriculum maps kept in a spreadsheet keep their units.
When Ida finishes creating your resource, she says so in the chat, so you know it's ready to review.
TeachShare has a new sidebar. Your pacing plans are listed in it, so the plan you're teaching from is one click away on every page.
A pacing plan you start building is now saved as a draft as you go, even if you close the tab. It waits on your pacing dashboard until you pick it back up. Started on your phone? The link we email you opens the same draft on your computer.
While you present, minimize the speaker notes window to keep it out of the way, or close it.
Resources now open in our new editor. Older resources are brought over the first time you open them, and you can leave the page while that finishes.
Open a day in your pacing plan to get a lesson plan for it, built from the unit it belongs to. Edit any part yourself, ask Ida to revise it, and export it when you're ready.
From a resource's menu in your pacing plan, choose Generate as pages or Generate as slides.
Students can now search their assignments by name and change how they're sorted. The newest assignment is at the top.
Changed your mind? In the pacing planner, ask Ida to undo a change and it's reversed.
When a change to your pacing plan would remove resources, you now see the list first and keep the ones you want.
In the Grader, Print All (no grades) prints every student's work for an assignment with the scores left off.
Ask Ida for more or less space between lines on any question type, and she'll adjust it.
Once you've reviewed your school calendar for one pacing plan, reuse it when you build the next. Holidays and breaks come with it.
Instructional coaches now see the pacing plans their teachers build on their own, next to the ones they assign, so coaching can start from each teacher's actual plan.
In the Grader, hover over a student's name to see the date and time they submitted, in your local time.
Delete a custom standard you added, or a whole set you uploaded, once you no longer teach from it.
When lessons move later in your pacing plan, they fill the open days on your calendar instead of piling onto one day. If the plan needs more room, extend its end date from Adjust schedule.
Teach the same course to more than one section? In a class's settings, add the others under Linked classes. A resource you publish from that class's pacing plan is assigned to every linked class, each with its own link.
The resources you opened most recently now sit under the prompt box on Home, so you can pick up where you left off.
In the standards dialog, paste the standards you teach, as codes or full descriptions, and choose Find My Standards. Standards already in TeachShare are matched for you, and new ones are saved to your account.
The presets you save on the Presets page now work on the Edit a PDF tab too. Apply one, and its grade level, standards, and student needs shape the edited resource.
Upload the packet you already use, and it comes back live, with its questions and answer key ready to edit.
Adjust the reading level, add home-language vocabulary, or apply accommodations. Your original file stays as it was.
Try it with your own PDFYour year, week by week, with units you can drag and a board that fills each day with ready-to-teach materials.
Publish the plan and each day opens with its objective. When the week changes, Ida proposes a fix for you to approve.
