Editing your schedule in Forethought helps you match your planner to the courses you are teaching during the grading term. You can use as many schedules as you need. Each schedule contains course entries and special entries (preps), such as notes, planning period information, or sub-notes. Your lesson planner can be changed to fit any changes in the year’s schedule.
Note: Editing your schedule does not remove your lesson plans from the previous grading period.

For Aware Customers Only
Select the course from your Master Schedule to connect test data of students to your entries in Forethought. You can select multiple classes to connect to an entry. For example, if you teach three preps of math, check all the math classes that use that course’s curriculum. This will allow teachers access to the TEST tab from Aware to create and manage teacher tests.
