School level management features

The user interface for Common Curriculum is the best I've seen. However, for us to use Common Curriculum, we would need to use it as a whole school tool. (Think Rubicon Atlas… but better).

These are the things we would look for:

• school can insert days off, set up subjects taught, teacher management

• School-level tracking of standards

• school-specific standards (we don't necessarily want our standards published)

• default templates at school/department level. Certain sections of templates can be locked e.g. there will always be an objective for a lesson. This way you could easily pull out all the objectives for a certain grade/subject and analyse at a school level how these are being phrased.

• ability to add sections to the templates and apply these without deleting lessons (the new template would be the default for new lessons, any existing templates would adopt new sections but not delete old sections)

• ability to search the whole school's lesson plans

• ability to have more than one set of standards or tags for lessons. For example: if teachers can tag a lesson with 'resilience' we can see how often that skill is being addressed across the school and how.

• better curriculum mapping e.g:
  -- being able to organise the curriculum into strands e.g. multiplication
  -- by linking objectives across grade levels a teacher can easily see how that standard was previously taught, any comments the teacher made about how the students did with that standard.
