Preps are specific to the classes you teach and are often linked to a course and roster section. If you teach multiple classes, you create a separate prep for each class. You can then add plans to your preps, tailoring lessons, activities, and resources to meet the needs of each class.
After you create a prep, you can edit it from your planner.
Note: You cannot edit planners from past years. Once the end date of an instructional calendar has passed, the calendar is locked, and you can no longer make changes to preps, plans, or units for that year. If you want to reuse an older plan, you can copy plans from a past year to an active planner then make adjustments to the plan as needed.
