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.
Rescheduling
Lessons cannot be dragged. This changed when school-wide timetables arrived.
Once your school publishes a timetable, when a lesson happens is a property of the school's timetable, not a personal preference. Moving your own lesson would leave your calendar and the school timetable disagreeing, with nobody told — and the room you moved into may already be somebody else's.
Ask your director to move it, or to arrange cover, and they change it in one place for everyone.
If your school has not published a timetable, you still build your own week with Assign lesson and Bulk copy, and you can edit or remove any lesson you created.
Moving a lesson you created
Open the lesson and press Move lesson. Pick the new day, and optionally new times. The lesson plan, homework, exam and any competence points your pupils have already earned move with it — it is the same lesson on a new day, not a copy.
This appears only on lessons you created yourself. A lesson that came from the school's published timetable has Ask for a change instead, because when it happens is the school's to decide. If you cannot see either button, the lesson is a school one and your school has not given you the request flow yet — ask your director.
Asking for a change
Open a timetable lesson and press Ask for a change. Pick what you need:
| Someone to cover | you cannot be there and the class still needs teaching |
| Report an absence | you will be away, one day or several |
| A different room | the room does not suit the lesson |
| Move this lesson | it cannot happen then and should run at another time |
| Swap two lessons | you want two lessons to trade places |
| Cancel the lesson | it should not run at all |
Give a reason, and optionally the dates, a time window if it is only part of a day, a colleague who has already agreed to cover, and a document.
Moving a lesson. Say where it should go — a date, a period, or both. Leave one blank to let your director choose. Approving it moves that one lesson and everything attached to it comes along: your lesson plan, the homework, the exam and any competence points your pupils have already earned. It records no absence, because you are not away — the lesson simply happens at another time.
About the document. A sick note is medical information. Only you and your director can ever open it — not your colleagues, and it is never public.
Your director gets it immediately and approves or rejects it. When they approve a cover or an absence, the absence is recorded and your pupils see the substitute in their own calendar. You are notified either way.
You can withdraw a request while it is still waiting. Once it has been answered it is a record of a decision, not a draft.
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.
Filling a whole term
The old Fill the semester wizard has been removed. Two better routes replaced it, and which one you use depends on who owns the timetable:
- Your school publishes a timetable. You do not build the term at all — the lessons are already in your calendar on the right days, in the right rooms. Put the topics on them in one pass with Fill from curriculum.
- Your school does not publish one. Build one representative week with Assign lesson, then repeat it across the term with Bulk copy.
The wizard asked you to describe a weekly rhythm your school had already decided. Once the school publishes a timetable that rhythm arrives on its own, and the only thing left for you to add is what each lesson is about — which is exactly what Fill from curriculum does.
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.
"I cannot drag a lesson any more." That is intended — see Rescheduling. Ask your director to move it.
"How do I set the topic of a lesson?" Open it and use Change the topic, or fill a whole term at once — see Fill lessons from the curriculum.
"My lesson says it is no longer part of the timetable." Your director removed that slot when they republished, but the lesson carried your work — a topic, a plan or homework — so it was kept rather than deleted. It is yours to keep or remove.
"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.
