Add students to certain periods only
I love planbook but it's not completely geared towards secondary. I teach high school and we have many periods. I love the feature where you can add students and grades but you can't add certain students to certain class periods. You can only add them to a class only. I would like to keep all my students separated by periods, not all 160 together. It's not practical when entering grades. It's not practical to add a different class for each period if it's the same prep. I want to do one lesson plan but have different periods for that one…

Allow multiple periods for a class
Have the ability to enter multiple start and end times for one class. I teach the same class 4 periods a day. I would like to enter the different start and end times for each of those periods without having to set up 4 different classes. All the lesson plans for them are the same.

Delete multiple lessons at once
having a check box to delete multiple lessons at once on the teacher plan book page would be awesome. Especially when you have a lot to delete!

Quick Add lesson bank item to lesson
To get a lesson bank lesson to a day on the planner should involve a pop down menu that gives a full listing of lesson bank lessons. Choose and paste.

Print Sub Notes with Plans
It would be nice to be able to print Substitute Notes along with a day's plans just as we can with regular notes. This way it can all be in one file rather than two.

Ability to color code units
I'm very visual (and sometimes I break my units up and come back to a few standards from a previous unit). It would be nice if we could color code the unit when it is listed at the top of the lesson, instead of them all showing up highlighted in blue. It would give a good visual as to how many days you have left allotted for that topic.

Write-in Standards
Can you make a write-in option for the standards section? 99% of the time, I use the common core standards that are already available, but every once in a while (SBAC prep, etc), it would be nice to write in "Comprehensive review of grade level standards" or something to that effect.

Assignments for all class sections
It would streamline how quickly I can enter grades into the gradebook. I have multiple sections of the same class and I would love to be able to assign the same assignment and assessment to those sections in one shot rather than one by one.

Add class location
Not everyone always teaches in the same room. Having the option to list the location of the class on the plan would be very useful, particularly when the location has an impact on the types of activities that can be carried out in the lesson, for example, when a science lesson is held in a regular classroom rather than a laboratory.

Use Google Classroom assign date
Google classroom assignments should show up in planbook for the day they are assigned. Give people the option to choose if they show up on the due date.

Allow lesson standards to be applied to Units
I would like a way for each of the standards I add to an individual lesson plan to automatically be listed in the standards area of my unit plan as well

Add dark mode on Web and Apps
With dark modes becoming so popular on websites, on apps, and on operating systems as a whole, it seems like an oversight here! This should be implemented in all forms that Planbook exists.

Lesson tab should allow immediate typing
Right now when I open a particular subject, I have to then click on the text field to start typing. It should default to immediately being able to type in that field.

Allow Google Calendar items below plans
I wish I could put my lesson plans above the Google Calendars. I love the integration with Google Calendars, but I would like the option to put the plans first, so I can avoid scrolling down.

Allow week to be Mon to Sun
Many European calendars use a start day of Monday, instead of Sunday. I would like to adjust the calendar to have a start day of Monday so I can see and print the week plans as Monday through Sunday. TY

Show notes for Google Calendar items
I appreciate the integration of the Google Calendar events! Is there a way that the notes with the Calendar events can be seen on Planbook? Or perhaps a way to add notes to Google Calendar items?

Copy - Select multiple lessons
When in the class section and you show all lessons for importing a lesson, it would be great to click on the previous lesson and it automatically select that date as the starting date and then either ctrl click or shift click for the end range.

Unit plans to include lessons, assignments and assessments
When creating unit plans, I would love to be able to add my lessons, assignments and assessments, instead of having to go to a separate section. Maybe by offering a check box to indicate if this portion of the unit plan is a lesson, assignments or assessments.

Have strategies be searchable
Have strategies be searchable, like the standards. You can look up which strategies you have used and how often.
