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.

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.

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.

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

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.

View 2/3 days rather than week
For View, I can choose Day, Week, Month, List.
More useful than Month, in my opinion, would be Today & Tomorrow
Or, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.
This would allow teachers to see the day in context.
So a Monday lesson would be presented with the previous Friday's (without having to flip from one week and the next). Plus I can see tomorrow's plans.The Weekly plan squeezes 5 days (M-F) in to 5 thin columns. This option would have 2 or 3 days nicely spaced out in wider columns on the screen.

Partial "No School Day"
Frequently we have assemblies or events in which a few classes are canceled for the day. Rather than having to go into each one and choose "No Class Day" for each one, it would be nice when adding an event, it automatically canceled classes during the time of the event. When choosing "No School Day" it cancels the entire day and not just the events during the event time.

Allow admin to mark lesson as reviewed
The only way to show that lesson plans have been checked now is to leave a comment. It would be nice to be able to provide a simple checkmark to show they have been read/approved without leaving a comment every week.

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 template with the lesson
I have created templates for some of my lesson plans, when a teacher goes to copy my lessons what I have in the template does not copy --- which is frustrating! i would love for teachers to be able to copy my lessons that I use a template for and have all information carry over.

App for Mac Laptop and Desktop
An app for Mac laptop and/or desktop to work offline.
Wifi in schools are notoriously unstable. It also would eliminate the hassle to log on permanently. Thanks!17 votes -
Add lessons from unit/lesson bank directly into plans
I would love to be able to open a unit that contains all of my lessons, then select "add to plans" where I can then select a lesson date.
Or in plans have an "add lesson from bank" option.
"copying" and then having to toggle back and forth between lesson bank and planning takes a while.
I really just want to be able to Create a unit, add all of my lessons and then as I teach them quickly add them to my plans. (without using "copy")

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.

Lock template to day option
From a template, add the ability to "Lock It" to the day, such that bump/extend do NOT shift other lessons over the template on the locked days.
I have planning at different time each day. I teach title reading and we take the same day off a week for each class to allow for planning. For example, I have Monday off every week for a certain class. For another class, my day off is Tuesday. If enter that as a no class day, that time block doesn't show up in my lesson plans. A sub would look at that and…

Seating Chart - flexible room layouts
As of now, the seating chart is only a typical "rows" model. In many current classrooms, we use flexible seating. There need to be options for tables and other furniture as well as a non-standard design (objects need to be able to be placed anywhere).
