Help / Quick Start

  2. 2Review Plan Health.
  3. 3Review Teaching Sequence for topic order and planned periods.
  4. 4Check Weekly Plan and Course Journey Poster.
  5. 5Export the Course Pack ZIP when the plan looks sensible.

Customise for your school

Everything is editable where possible. Adjust term dates, no-teaching windows, assessment dates, timetable capacity, unit order, assessment windows, and allocations to fit your school.

Change one major planning assumption at a time, then review Plan Health, Weekly Plan, and Poster. Keep a planner JSON backup before major edits.

Backup and restore

  • Course Pack ZIP includes a planner JSON backup.
  • Importing a backup restores saved settings and regenerates the schedule.
  • Keep a backup before major calendar, timetable, or sequence changes.

Teacher judgement note

The planner creates a strong first draft. Review it against your school calendar, class pace, department assessment policy, IB updates, and local requirements, then adapt the generated documents for your own classes.
