About BetterLesson
BetterLesson.org was founded by a group of teachers from Atlanta and Boston Public Schools in the spring of 2008 to address a fundamental disconnect in education:
- Every day, educators spend countless hours searching for innovative lessons
- Every day, educators create innovative lessons and have no way to share them with each other
BetterLesson is our solution--a website that allows educators to organize and share their curriculum the way that they teach it.
We are committed to saving educators from "reinventing the wheel," allowing them more time to focus on creating innovative content, delivering innovative content, grading, tutoring, analyzing data, communicating with parents, finishing paperwork, and sleeping.
We are also committed to connecting educators within and across educational, instructional, and geographic communities. Our first core principle is that collaboration amongst a diverse community of educators is the key component to creating and delivering the highest quality instruction.
