Teaching Pace calendar view showing five subjects on a month grid with progress bars

Calendar — every subject on one month, with a bar per subject showing what is on pace and what is behind.

1The day every subject is finished, worked out from your lessons and days off.
2A bar per subject showing what is on pace and what is behind.

Any curriculum

You type in your own subjects and lessons — boxed curriculum, living books, or your own plan.

Days off that stick

Weekends, co-op days, holidays, and breaks. Lessons step over them.

Real life happens

Move one subject without disturbing the others; finish dates update as you go.

Print it

A month for the wall, or a one-page summary of the whole term.

One child or several? Teaching Pace fits either way. It's one plan for your home, and you add each child's subjects however you like, such as “Emma – Math” and “Jack – Reading”.

What it does

Your curriculum, your calendar

Lay out a subject once

Add a subject, give it a start date, and enter your lessons in order. Each one takes a school day, and you can write out what it covers.

Need a unit to begin on a particular date? Set it, and everything after follows. Two short lessons you want to do together? Check them both and combine them onto one day.

1Two lessons combined onto one day.
2The day each lesson lands on.

Questions

Before you buy

Do I have to install anything?: No. Teaching Pace opens in your browser and works there. But putting it on your desktop takes one click and makes it feel like a normal program — its own icon, its own window, no tabs.

In Edge: look for a small monitor icon with a down arrow at the right end of the address bar and click it, then Install. If you do not see it, use the three-dot menu at the top right → Apps → Install this site as an app.

In Chrome: look for the same monitor icon at the right end of the address bar. If it is not there, use the three-dot menu → Cast, save, and share → Install page as app.

Either way it appears in your Start menu, and you can right-click it there to pin it to the taskbar. After the first visit it works with no internet.
What do I need to run it?: A Windows PC or a Mac, using Chrome or Edge. Teaching Pace is built for a full-size screen — you are laying out a whole school year across a calendar, and that needs room. Chrome and Edge are also the only browsers that let a web page save straight to a folder you pick, which is how your plan is kept safe outside the browser. It is not a phone or tablet app. Please avoid Safari: it erases a website's saved data if the site is not opened for 7 days, and that would include your plan. The same is true of every browser on an iPhone or iPad. Firefox works, but without the save-to-a-folder option.
Where is my information stored?: On your computer, in a folder you choose — your Desktop or Documents works well. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, there is no account, no third-party cloud, and no one else can see your plan. That also means your backups are yours to look after, so export a copy now and then.
Can I plan for more than one child?: Yes. Teaching Pace is one plan for your whole home, and you add each child's subjects to it however you like, for example Emma – Math and Jack – Reading. Each subject gets its own lessons, pace, and finish date, and you see everyone's work together on one calendar.
Does it work with my curriculum?: Yes, because you type in your own. There is no list to pick from and nothing to match against, so a boxed curriculum, a reading list, or a plan you wrote yourself all work the same way.
How many computers?: Your purchase covers one computer at a time. If you get a new computer, or need to move Teaching Pace to a different one, you can — you have a small number of transfers, which is plenty for normal use. If you run out, write to teachingpace@outlook.com and we will free one up. For a co-op or several families, please ask about a group license.
Is this a subscription?: No. You pay once and it is yours, including future school years.
Can I try it first?: There is no trial, but there is a 7-day, no-questions refund. If Teaching Pace is not right for your family, reply to your receipt email or write to teachingpace@outlook.com within 7 days of buying and you get your money back.
