Planning Weekly Lesson Plans

    Set the topic, notes, and video for each class so instructors and students know what is being covered.

    Opening Plan this week from the Schedule page, adding a topic to a class, attaching a library video, turning on Visible to students, and saving

    Open Plan this week

    Click Schedule in the left menu, then click Plan this week at the top right.

    The board shows one column per day with every class on your schedules, plus a count of how many classes are planned this week.

    Use the arrows next to the week range to move to a past or future week.

    Set the topic and attach a class video

    Click Add topic on a class to open its panel.

    Type the Topic. 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. The picker groups videos by collection.

    The video is staff-only by default. Turn on Visible to students to publish it with the class notes. A What students see preview appears under the toggle.

    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 plan.

    Add prep notes and notes for students

    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 shows the card exactly as students will see it.

    Check Apply to all N classes this week to give every session of that class the same plan, then click Save.

    Students click Lesson Plans in their portal to see today's classes, with a date selector for other days.

    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.

    Prep notes never appear in the student portal.
