# Creating and Deleting a Team Planner

Team planners allow you to build and collaborate on lesson planning with your peers at your campus or across the district.

Team planners are useful for team organizations including:

- **Grade Level Teams**
- **Subject Area Teams**
- **Curriculum Map Teams**

## Items to Consider

- Teams can be created by any teacher, and only one member needs to create the team planner.
- Teams are collaborative and there is no Team Leader.
- Team members can be added and removed by any member of the team.
- Principals can view all team information and content.
- **Once the last team member is removed, the team is deleted, and the associated content is no longer accessible. Members must be added back to the team to receive access to the planner.**

## Create a New Team

1. Click on the **Create a New Team** button.
2. Click **Next** to start the wizard.
3. Give the team name a detailed and distinctive name and click **Next**.
4. Add members (enter names for searching) and click **Next**.
5. Add the course(s) and click **Next**. You cannot edit the name of a course in a team planner.
6. Click **Finish.**

## Add Content to a Team Planner

1. Select the **Team Planner** from your list of lesson plans.
2. Select the entry and click the **Check Out and Edit** button on the Entry Toolbar.
3. The lesson is editable to add learning standards, attachments, resources, etc.
4. Click **Save** to check the entry back in.
5. To continue editing this entry, you need to click the **Check Out and Edit** icon on the Entry toolbar.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The team planner is not a live, collaborative web document allowing multiple editors at the same time. When one team member checks out an entry, this prevents other team members from accessing that entry at the same time.

## Copy an Entire Week From Team Planner to Your Planner

1. On the **Lesson Planner** toolbar, select the option to **View Week's Plans**.

## Best Practices for Team Planners

It is important for all teachers on a team to COPY the team plans from the team planner to individual planners. Here are the reasons why:

- The Standard Coverage Report won't give you credit for your standards if it's only in the team planner.
- You can differentiate your lessons for your students if you copy from the team planner to your individual planner.
- The team planner could accidentally get deleted if all of the members are removed.

## Using Discussion Threads

Team planners have a built-in discussion board for each daily or weekly lesson for all members and the campus principals to discuss lesson content. Post new threads and reply as needed. There is an option on the menu bar (in the wrench icon) to receive an email when a new post is added.
