About Us

Teachers are amazing! With all that teachers are asked to do these days, sorting through millions of online search results to find good teacher resources (lesson plans, state standards, worksheets, etc.) should not be one of them.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower educators with fast, easy access to teacher-reviewed online curriculum resources. Plain and simple, Lesson Planet saves teachers valuable time and in turn, helps to enhance the learning experience of their students.

Created and managed by an experienced team of educators (editors, writers, reviewers and programmers) that are passionate about teaching and learning, Lesson Planet is constantly adding new teacher-reviewed resources, features and tools. Launched in 1999, Lesson Planet has evolved into a popular, curriculum-focused, niche search engine, designed specifically for educators. Lesson Planet is advertising free and fully member supported. Lesson Planet memberships are available for individual teachers and homeschoolers as well for school sites and districts.
