Step by step

The workflow to follow inside Planlark.

These steps are ordered to match how the planner works in practice, so later actions build on the context created in earlier ones.

1

Start with the Weekly Planner to see the real teaching week

The weekly view is where you verify what actually meets, what is missing, and what still needs prep. Because Planlark is schedule-aware, this page is the best way to catch pacing issues before they turn into scrambled lessons.

2

Open a day when you need deeper edits

Use the Day Planner to refine a specific lesson, add details, or review materials and timing. Weekly view is for context; day view is where you tighten the lesson itself.

3

Move lessons with context in mind

If a class is interrupted or a lesson takes longer than expected, ask Lark to move the lesson or shift the assessment. Planlark should preserve order and use the next valid class slot instead of forcing you to clean up dates manually.

4

Use daily debrief to capture what actually happened

Debriefs matter because they close the loop between planning and teaching. Record what you finished, what slipped, and what needs to change so the next lesson is based on reality instead of the original plan.

5

Ask Lark what the week needs next

Once the week has real lessons and debriefs, Lark becomes much more useful for questions like what to teach tomorrow, where the gaps are, or what still needs prep this week.

FAQ

Questions teachers usually ask here.

When should I use the daily debrief?

Use it right after class or at the end of the day while the details are still fresh. The more specific the debrief, the more useful the next planning adjustment becomes.

Can Planlark handle lessons moving because of holidays or assemblies?

Yes. Schedule-aware planning is one of the core strengths of the system, so lesson moves should respect real class dates rather than landing on impossible days.
