Teacher search by state/subject
I'm teaching Arkansas History for the first time this upcoming year. I'd like to find other similar teachers in our state that may be using planbook.com and might be willing to share lessons. The only way to accomplish such a request is to be able to search for teachers by subjects and ask if they'd be willing to share or collaborate. I also teach German which isn't too common in Arkansas so it would be nice to collaborate with teachers of other states where German is more prevalent. With all of the technology we have, it is a shame that…

Ability to set No Class for entire day
We're on a 6 day cycle and I teach each grade first to 6th every day. there are days when I'm out at a conference, or out sick and they usually don't have a sub for me. If I cancel the classes using "no school" then the day of the cycle gets messed up. The only way I can do it is to go to each class (which is really each grade) and add the day manually. Should be a better way to do that!

Strategies Display Like Standards
I wish you could set it up so we could view Strategies the same way we do Standards. There would be a Strategy ID, and the Strategy Description itself. Teachers could choose if they wanted the strategy description displayed.

Create assessment from lesson standards
I would like to be able to use the days lesson with standards attached and quickly make it an assessment. This would save time and it would also keep the standards consistent with the lessons.

Assign standards to classes and students
It would be great if we could also assign standards to specific classes and students, rather than lessons and units and be able to view these in a class/student overview page. I teach English language support and it would be very useful if I could have an overview page for each class /student which would include standards and brief notes on what they are working on.

School-wide Alternate Days
It would be helpful if an admin could set a school-wide schedule that would include alternate days. As it is now, I have a dual account, so I can create an alternate day under my admin heading and have it copy to my teacher heading. However, the settings I put in as an admin do not copy to everyone in the school. I will have to walk the other teachers through setting up their own alternate days so that their plans appear correctly within our rotating drop schedule with occasional alternate days.

Include centers in a lesson
I teach preschool and I have to include centers in my plans along with the standard(s) that apply for each center. Right now, I have my daily schedule set up as separate lessons. It would be great if within a lesson (section/time of the day) I could include the centers that I'm doing along with the standard - almost a lesson within a lesson if that makes sense? As it is, I can list the centers and what is happening but all of the standards are lumped together in the standards tab instead of being with each centers actvity.

Color code assignments/assessments/standards in grades
It would be awesome if assignments and assessments were in different colors. When you look at your grade book you can see which is which quickly.

Mobile Apps - View single lesson
Be able to see on iPad one lesson in big font, full-screen. This would really help one refer back to one’s notes during the lesson. At present we have to choose day view and then scroll.

Score codes
Add the ability to attach an icon when a student is Absent or Does not Pass in Assignment. A little A in upper right hand corner of assignment with a color, and for an assignment not turned in either a M for missing or NE for No Evidence if a proficiency based school like we are. Also the ability to just mark an assignment collect with a green check mark. Score codes this would be a great addition to planbook!

Tab and Arrow Keys to navigate grades
When entering grades the enter button moves the cell down. I would like to be able to move to a new cell using the tab and arrow buttons like a spreadsheet. Especially if I make a mistake and want to move back up or move over to enter the standard after I enter the grade.

Show thumbnail of image files
Currently only file names show in the list of existing attachment uploads. Often times these files will be reused in another lesson but because you can't see what the image is of the file you end up re-uploading it.l

Student View - Allow equal sized lessons
Student view can be very confusing with the different colors and teacher techniques. If they lined up instead of staggered, it could be very helpful to student eyes.

Unique letter grade options for each class
We are trying Planbook's grade storage for the first time this school year. We are pleased with the offered features and awesome price. But there are a few things that we are missing from other programs we've used. One thing we've had in other programs is the ability to have different grading scales for different classes. At our school we use the "traditional" A,B,C letter grades for most conventional subjects, like Math. But for things like Art or P.E. we use a somewhat more qualitative system with E for Exceptional, S for Satisfactory, N for Needs improvement. Then on the…
