Bar graph of standards taught
I wondered if there was a way to incorporate something that I am doing with many schools to analyze the gaps in the standards being taught. At this point we export their standards, then create a spreadsheet from which we create a bar graph of the standards taught in the year. We then can visually see which standards are being taught too much or too little or not at all. The teachers have great conversations over these visual standards and determine what needs to change.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this work and consider adding…

Create new unit from lesson editor
It would be nice if when you were making a leson, in the drop down menu to assign a unit, there was an option to "create a new unit." This would make it easy to group sets of lessons that only last for one week.

Copy assigned unit with the lesson
When I copy a lesson within the same class, it should also copy the assigned unit. Otherwise I have to open the copied lesson and assign the unit EVERY time.

Auto input Units and unit dates or days
Have a unit automatically populate in your lessons so you know exactly when you are supposed to finish with it. You should also have the ability to uncheck the unit box when creating your lessons, in case you need to switch gears for holidays and such.

Allow Google Classroom items below plans
Right now with integration, all the google assignments show up top, which makes it difficult to view classes. If they were put on the bottom, that will help with the ability to see. Also the boxes are too large, they should be smaller.

Create a portal for teacher info
When students go to the teacher website it would be nice to show students about my profile, general downloads (like forms, school information) that are related for most classes and all students. Other websites for teachers offer a portal, but Planbook lacks that. A picture of the teacher, etc. I wish students could reach to the portal first and then to the calendar.

print today
Create a box to print today only. No more selecting from the to/from calendars! I tweak my lessons everyday and so prefer to print 1 day at a time. A check box for "print today only" would make life a bit easier!

Add support for Dropbox
It would be handy to be able to upload files from dropbox in the web app, similar to how we can add files from google drive. It turns out to be easier at my school to use dropbox for syncing folders than the google drivesync.
thanks!

Allow administrators to print units
Administrators would be able to print out units from teachers' pages to keep them organized rather than asking teachers to print them out.

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.

Search Standards - Options for ALL grades, ALL subjects
Using the search feature for key words within standards, it would be beneficial to have multiple grade levels appear in the search. If I search 'decimals', it's tedious and time consuming to have to go between grade levels to find the specific standard one is looking for.

Add QR code to see teacher plans
Teachers can print off a QR code, frame it, post it on the wall in their classroom. When Admin or any other goes into the room, they can scan the QR code with their phone/tablet/device and instantly view teachers lesson plans for that day.

Allow students to delete and rearrange classes.
My students have built their own schedules by adding classes. However, if they add one by accident or their schedule changes, they are unable to delete the class. It would be helpful if they had more control over their schedule.

Was my list of events grows, I am finding that it would be nice to see them sorted in reverse order, current events on top and past events below.
Thanks. This program is quickly becoming a staff favorite!
