Case Study: Rocklin High School achieves streamlined NGSS-aligned year-long biology curriculum development with Quip

How the biology teachers at Rocklin High School used Quip

Shannon Jimenez, a biology teacher at Rocklin High School, needed to rebuild a year-long biology curriculum from the ground up to align with the Next Generation Science Standards. With teaching, coaching, and conferences limiting face-to-face time, the department faced challenges coordinating edits and consolidating feedback using scattered Google Docs and email—so they turned to Quip to manage the project.

Quip’s integrated documents, image handling, and in-line conversation allowed three teachers to collaborate asynchronously, see colleagues’ edits instantly, and comment directly on changes, eliminating piles of disjointed email threads and many coordinating meetings. By using Quip, the team streamlined curriculum development and review, improved visibility into recent work, and drastically reduced the overhead of coordinating edits and feedback.
