Open a class and go to Plan this class
Click Schedule in the left menu, move to the week you want with the arrows next to the week range, and click a class block.
The dialog opens on that date. Under the This date box, click the Plan this class tab, or click the Plan this class link inside the box (it reads Edit plan once a topic exists).
Every plan belongs to one class on one date, so what you write here is for this session only.
Note
The old **Plan this week** board is gone. Planning now happens on the class itself, one date at a time, and the same tab is in **Edit Class**.
Set the topic, curriculum position and video
The row at the top of the tab shows the date with arrows on either side, a Planned or Not planned chip, and Copy from last week.
Type the Topic. It is required, and students see it on their dashboard and at check-in.
Optionally choose a Curriculum position to tie the class to an item in your curriculum.
Under Class video, click Attach a video from the library and pick a video. It is staff-only by default; turn on Visible to students to publish it with the class notes.
Note
Attaching a video never grants access. A student who is not entitled to a paid collection sees the video locked with the collection's normal unlock option.
Note
One video per class date.
Add prep notes and notes for students, then save
Prep notes are staff only. Use them for drilling order, partners, or anything students should not see.
Notes for students are visible to students. Tell them what to bring and what to expect. The Student preview underneath shows the card exactly as they will see it.
Tick Apply to all N classes this week to give every class with the same name the same plan for its date in that Sunday to Saturday week.
Click Save plan. The chip switches to Planned, the This date box shows the topic, and the class block on the grid shows it too.
Note
Topics and notes for students publish immediately. Students see them as soon as you save.
Move between dates and copy from last week
Use the arrows around the date to step to the same class one week earlier or later. The stepper only lands on dates this class runs.
Click Copy from last week to load the previous week's plan for this class into the form. Nothing is saved until you click Save plan.
A canceled or closed date keeps its plan and can still be edited; the plan shows again if the date is restored.
Caution
Moving the date with unsaved edits drops them. Save first, then step to the next week.
See the plan on the Schedule
A planned class block shows the topic under the class name with a small book icon, followed by the curriculum position when one is set.
On a phone, the class row shows the topic under the capacity line.
The This date box of the class reads Topic: with the topic and an Edit plan link, or No topic yet. Plan this class when nothing is planned.
Tip
Instructors can plan their own classes the same way from the **School Schedule** page in their portal.
What students see
Students click Lesson Plans in their portal to see today's classes, with a date selector for other days.
Each class shows the topic, your notes for students, and the video row when Visible to students is on. Students with access see a Watch button; students without access see the video locked with the collection's normal unlock option.
The Today section on the student Overview page shows the same cards for today's classes.
Classes without a plan read The instructors have not yet added a lesson plan for this class.
Note
Prep notes never appear in the student portal.
