Syllabi, coverage, and lesson notes ​

Use Teaching → Syllabi for a course offering. A syllabus is the teaching outline. Its publication and coverage are separate records.

Prepare and publish a syllabus ​

1. Create a draft for the course offering.
2. Add topics in teaching order.
3. Set the planned week, objectives, and resources.
4. Review the outline or use a reusable curriculum-library outline.
5. Submit the draft for review.
6. The reviewer publishes it or returns it with a reason.

States are Draft, Awaiting review, Published, Superseded, and Archived. Only published syllabi appear as published teaching material. Withdraw a submitted draft when it needs more work. Create a revision to change a published syllabus. Publishing a revision preserves the previous outline as history. Use the print view for a printable copy.

Track delivery ​

A published outline and recorded coverage are separate.

Record topic coverage for the relevant section. Use Covered, Partial, or Skipped as appropriate. A topic without a coverage record remains outstanding. Covered and Skipped are settled states; a partial topic still needs review. The coverage page compares planned delivery with recorded progress. Scheduled reminders can notify teachers about classes behind their plan.

Write lesson notes ​

Open lesson notes from a published syllabus. Create the weekly note against the relevant teaching context. Save a draft, then submit it for review. Notes use Draft, Submitted, Approved, and Returned states. Draft and returned notes can be edited before resubmission. Reviewers approve a note or return it for correction.

Link assessment coverage ​

Use the assessment plan to link gradebook items to syllabus topics. The syllabus must be published and belong to the same offering. The plan reads gradebook weights. Linking a topic does not change those weights. Review uncovered topics before the assessment.

Enter topics and send the outline for review ​

Use read syllabus to read and create syllabus to create an offering's draft. Editing and coverage also check teaching responsibility or the applicable syllabus management authority. Review and publication require approve syllabus.
