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.

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.

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.

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.

Checkbox to mark lesson complete
I would love to be able to "check off" lessons as I complete them during the day. It would also be great if there was a check box feature within the lesson, like the bullets.

Sharing common calendar
Allow teachers to "share" one planbook for the same class- so we can work on the same calendar for the same class--not have to import--like the google calendar--allow edits to show up on both planbooks
1 voteTo simplify the process of sharing lessons, we’ve added support for class collaboration. Multiple teachers (or a single teacher with multiple sections) can now “share” the lessons of a class. A change made by one teacher will automatically update the lesson for all teachers who share the class. To allow others to share your lessons, edit the class, and set Collaborate to “View Only” or “View/Edit”. To share the lessons from another teacher, edit your class, and set Collaborate to “Replica”. You’ll then be able to select a teacher and class to share the lessons.

Allow the section heading font color to be different from the section text font color
I would like each section heading (i.e. standards, activities, assessments) of my daily plans to be in a different font color to distinguish them. However, I would like the actual text in each section to in plain old black. Having the entire section (heading and text) all the same color seems to make it cartoonish.

Add WIDA Can Do Descriptors
If there is a way to include the different grade level clusters for WIDA Can Do Descriptor in a drop down menu it would make differentiating lessons based on language proficiency much easier.
