Freeze a plan

it would be great if we could bump plans for a single period and have that bump the plans forward from that point on.
If I needed to bump plans for just a single period, but I have plans in future weeks, it would be great if there were a bump feature that move all plans from just that period forward a day or two.

Summary of how many times you use a standard.
A feature that keeps track of how many times you use each standard would make it easier to see what standards you have hit that year and how often.
18 votesYou can view this now on the standards page:
http://help.planbookedu.com/knowledgebase/articles/69376-standards-reporting -
In the standards drop down menu, have a check mark box by each so you can add multiple standards at one time. Like the CCSS Math prac.
Putting a check mark box by each standard so you can add multiple standards at the same time, rather than having to add them individually.

Can you enable users to select which days of the week they would like to copy information to? e.g. I want to select Mon, Weds and Fri.
I would like to be able to select Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays for one particular cell in my planbook, but change Thursdays to spelling tests. Can you create a button that allows users to choose which days they want to copy, and choose this week, or this week and forward?
17 votesYou can do that now with the repeating options. Edit Monday and set it to repeat daily. Then select M,Tu,W,F from the day list. Then Edit Thursday and set it to repeat weekly.

It would be nice to be able to have a reoccuring activity/lesson/block of time and say to have it repeat on a specific day
Right now when I set up a block of time, I can set it to repeat every 5 days, that works if there aren't any holidays or days off. I would like to be able to set up a block of time to repeat on a specific day. For example my class has a block of time set for Library every Tuesday. I would like to be able to tell planbook to set that block of time for every Tuesday.
14 votesMake sure your planbook is set to the Weekly rotation. This will repeat plans on the same day regardless of off days. The 5 Day rotation option will adjust for off days.

I would like to see the date on the top of each page that I print. When I print multiple dates I need to go back and match the dates.
I would like to see the date on top of each page that is printed. When multiple pages are printed you need to go back and match the pages to the plan book page. If a date was printed on top of each page it would be so very helpful!

Add Blooms and/or Marzano
Could there be a place to check off blooms taxonomy and/or the Marzano learning strategies? Maybe add them in like the standards are added?
