Print Option - One lesson per page
It would be helpful if teachers could set a range of dates and then print out a series of lesson plans - one class and one day per page. We could then print hard copies of several lessons without doing it one class and one lesson at a time.

Apply template to multiple classes
I have some classes that are similar but not exactly the same, so they need to be different classes but could have the same templates. It would be nice to only have to make the template once for all three classes instead of making it for all three classes separately.
66 votesA single template can now hold information for all lesson sections, and can be applied to multiple classes across multiple school years! You can also schedule a single template for multiple days of the week, attach files to a template, and add or remove a template from individual lessons.

Sub/Emergency plans template
Having to create sub plans when you're sick is very difficult. I have created my own emergency plan that requires very little modification. It would be great to have the ability to create a template for subs (with all details entered at an earlier time) that could be inserted into a specific day with one click (or with only a few). It is in the same vein as adding an Event, but an entire day is added.

copy certain lessons to the new year
I would like to be able to go to last years lesson plans and have a button so that I can copy and paste that lesson to a specific date in the new year. As of today, all I can do is ,go to last years lesson, copy and go to the new year and paste it on the date that I need it. I want to start fresh each year, but would like to have this option available. I don't want to duplicate last year's lesson schedule onto the new year.
26 votesWe’ve added a new “Copy” button to allow you to copy lessons (includes drag/drop) from another teacher, another year, or even one class to another. Hope this helps, any questions just let us know at support@planbook.com. Thanks!

Change background color of class
While the coloured headings are helpful, it would be great to change the full background colour of the class block as well. I am a very visual person and I like seeing the full separation of each class. This is a feature of another online planbook that I used to use and it was great to have.

Delete multiple lessons at once
If you go into the month view, it would be helpful to have a checkbox where you could select multiple lessons to delete at once. This would be very helpful if you accidentally imported lessons into the wrong class or into the wrong dates!

Homework and assignment due dates
Allowing a homework to be date/lesson linked - so putting it on one lesson can have a due date too, so it shows up on that lesson in the homework field with the prefix DUE:
1 voteTeachers often assign student work that is not tied to a single lesson or class period. Rather, these assignments may require students to work on them over an extended period of time, such as multiple weeks. We have added the ability for teachers to add assignments to each class, and for students to see these assignments (along with details, due dates, attachments, etc.) when viewing teacher plans online.

Select month in Calendar
Consider adding a list of months in the form of a drop down menu when using the "Add Event" feature. This would save having to click through each month to get to the one you want.
I wanted to let you know that my first impression of the product are very, very good. This is my first time using it and after reading the overview pages I had enough information to plan out the whole year with lessons, holidays, and other events. I found it quite easy to work everything out.
8 votesOur new date selector allows you to adjust the year and month as individual items, saving you the time required to scroll through multiple months to find your date!
