In today’s classrooms, teachers are expected to wear many hats - educator, mentor, counsellor, and innovator - often all before lunchtime. The demand for high-quality resources that are easy to access and ready to use has never been greater. That’s where Cube For Teachers comes in. This free, educator-driven platform connects teachers with thousands of curated, classroom-tested resources to save planning time and inspire fresh ideas. Here are five practical ways schools can integrate Cube into their culture and empower teachers to focus on what matters most - student learning.
1. Professional Development & PLCs
Schools can make Cube a go-to resource hub during staff meetings or Professional Learning Community sessions. Teachers can use Cube Folders to quickly access curated resources for lesson planning, share best practices with colleagues, and explore innovative teaching strategies. This helps align PD sessions with real, ready-to-use classroom materials. (Sample: Terry Fox resources)
2. Curriculum Alignment & Lesson Planning
Teachers can leverage Cube to find resources directly tied to curriculum expectations or standards. Grade teams can collaborate to build shared digital “resource folders” for math units, literacy modules, or inquiry projects, reducing duplication and saving planning time. (Sample: Ontario Math Resources also Virtual Manipulatives)
3. Support for New & Student Teachers
Cube can be introduced as part of onboarding for new teachers or as a companion tool for student teachers on practicum. It helps them feel supported with vetted, classroom-tested materials and gives them a place to curate their own growing library of resources as they build their teaching toolkit.

4. Equity & Inclusion Initiatives
Schools can use Cube Folders to intentionally curate resources that support diverse learners - such as materials for differentiated instruction, special education, culturally responsive teaching, and well-being initiatives - ensuring all students have equitable access to quality education. (Sample: Special Education - you’ll need to log in for this search return)
5. Family Engagement & Take-Home Learning
Teachers can share curated resource links from Cube with parents for at-home practice, project extensions, or summer learning. This builds a bridge between school and home, empowering parents to support their child’s education with trusted resources. (Sample: Cube Calendars)
When schools embrace Cube For Teachers as part of their professional culture, they create a ripple effect - teachers feel supported, students benefit from engaging lessons, and families see stronger connections between home and school. The platform is simple to use, free to access, and designed by educators who understand the realities of teaching. The result? More time for teachers to do what they love: inspiring students and making learning meaningful.
