CurricuMap

HS History teacher. Built a tool that plans your entire year’s curriculum in one shot, so you don’t have to spend your summer doing it. currently in beta.

11 years in the classroom & I still learn something new every year.

HS History & Government teacher. Building something for teachers on the side.

Gonna start posting more here — come ride with me.

If you’re a teacher who’s skeptical of AI tools… honestly, I get it.

I built this because it’s what I wish I had in my own classroom.

Early June launch. Follow if you want to see how it turns out 👇

I spent months building an AI tool that would generate your entire year of curriculum — every unit, every lesson, the whole thing.

Then I actually let teachers use it…

Here’s what happened 🧵👇

Bottom line:

This tool isn’t trying to do the whole job for you.

It’s just trying to make that endless planning bs less painful so you can actually enjoy your summer. 🤙

graded a bunch of papers today, needed this.

Me in April: Yea, we’ll do a project instead of a final. That’ll be more fun and give you a chance to be creative.

Me now staring at a pile of 5 page papers and videos to grade:

@Principal_Jon the teachers I’ve seen leave weren’t burned out on kids. they were burned out on everything around the kids.

@NancyH_60 Just trying to to make it through exams…

[CurricuMap @CurricuMap]

Anyway that’s my current frustration summarized. Curious if other teachers feel the same way or if I’m just the problem 😂

[CurricuMap @CurricuMap]

I’ve used a lot of curriculum tools over the years and most of them have the same core problem.

A thread 🧵

[CurricuMap @CurricuMap]

So every summer I’d sit down and spend weeks doing it manually. Mapping out units, pacing lessons, making sure everything actually connects. Every year. From scratch. Because there was nothing else to do.

nothing humbles you faster than realizing your students completely misunderstood something you thought you taught really well

@teachthemx3 even tho the only tools actually used by teachers are ones we choose ourselves
