What this page is for
Your teaching timetable, and the place lessons are created. A lesson here is what pupils see, what materials attach to, and what a lesson plan is built from.
The views
Month, Week and Day grid views, plus an agenda list. Each class has its own colour, and the subject icon appears on the lesson. Click the small calendar icon next to the date range to jump straight to any date, instead of paging through week by week.
Before anything has been scheduled, the grid is simply empty — a school holiday still shows as an all-day banner across the days it covers.
Month view
A month at a glance, with each day's lessons listed as small coloured chips.
Week view
A 7-day grid on an hour track. Hovering a lesson shows its title, topic, date and time without opening it.
Day view
A single day on the same hour track, for when a week is too much at once.
Agenda view
Every event as a scrollable list grouped by date, instead of a grid — holidays, assessments and lessons all appear as rows with their time and class.
Common tasks
Assign a lesson
Click an empty slot, or use New assignment. Choose the class, the curriculum unit, and optionally drill down to a topic and a subtopic — the deepest thing you pick becomes the lesson's title, so pupils see the actual subject of the lesson rather than the unit name.
Set the date and the hour.
If the time fields are left empty the lesson cannot be saved and you get an error. Every lesson needs a start and an end.
Lesson detail
Click any lesson to open it. The header repeats the class, subject and lesson title; below it, four tabs — Overview, Materials, Closure and Reflections — hold a quick action to generate a lesson plan and exit ticket, the attached materials, how the lesson was closed out, and pupil reflections. Remove deletes the lesson from the calendar, after a confirmation prompt.
Reschedule
Drag a lesson to another slot. Only lesson assignments drag; exams and holidays are fixed by their own schedules.
Bulk copy
Copy one week's lessons onto another week — pick the class, the week to copy from, and the week to copy the same pattern into. Useful when a timetable repeats but you did not use the wizard; it will not duplicate a lesson that already exists on the target date, time and curriculum.
Fill the semester
The fastest way to set up a term, in three steps.
1. Scope
Choose the class, add one or more curricula (optionally narrowed to specific topics and subtopics), the academic year, the period (semester 1, semester 2, custom dates or the whole year), and the term's start and end dates.
2. Weekly programme
Declare the slots you actually teach: weekday, start time, end time, and which curriculum. Add as many as you have for a varied timetable. Holidays inside the range can be skipped automatically, specific date ranges or single days can be excluded, and the whole weekly programme can be saved as a template for next term.
3. Preview & generate
Every lesson it will create, listed date by date, with a summary of the total events, any leftover free slots, and holidays skipped — before anything is written. Remove individual lessons here if needed.
There is no assumption about how many lessons a week a subject has — you declare the slots. Holidays are skipped, and you can exclude date ranges and single days.
It will not duplicate lessons that already exist for the same date, time and curriculum, so you can re-run it after adding a slot.
The preview also warns when the curriculum has more lessons than the term has slots, so you find out before the term rather than in April.
Substitutes and absences
If a director records you as absent, your lessons show it. If someone is covering, their name appears on the lesson for pupils. An absence can cover a whole day or just a time window.
Rules and limits
- You see your own lessons. Directors see the school-wide calendar.
- A lesson belongs to a curriculum unit, which is what connects it to lesson plans, materials and homework.
- Holidays come from the school calendar and remove lessons automatically.
Troubleshooting
"Nothing happens when I save a lesson." The hour is missing — see above.
"The wizard created fewer lessons than expected." The term ran out of slots before the curriculum ran out of lessons; the preview reports this as an overflow.
"A lesson will not drag." Only lesson assignments are draggable.
"Pupils see the unit name instead of the topic." Nothing deeper than the unit was picked when the lesson was created. Edit it and choose a topic or subtopic.
