A teacher schedule planner for your Ontario classroom

Homeroom or rotary, set your term, periods, preps and supervision duties once, on a weekly timetable or a Day 1 to 5 rotation. See your teaching week on real dates. Open a period, choose the class’s Ontario expectations, and Milo drafts that lesson with no prompt writing needed. Not quite right? Give feedback and Milo revises it.

You have five days of periods to plan. Milo puts your week on real dates, and drafts a lesson for the period you open. Name the term and its dates. Pick a week, or a Day one to five rotation. Then add periods, recess and lunch. Homeroom or rotary? Link each teaching block to its class and subject. Add prep blocks, and switch on recess supervision. That's your week. The planner shows your week on real dates. Switch to day or month. Open a teaching period. Generate with Milo. No prompt writing needed. Pick expectations from that class's Ontario curriculum. Add notes if you like, and Milo does the rest. Milo drafts the lesson. Goals, success criteria, a learning sequence, assessment checks, and Access and UDL options. Review it, and edit any section. Add notes before and after class. The exit ticket was too hard. Refine that lesson with feedback, and Milo reworks it with your notes in view. Snow day. Shift the day, and Milo previews the change before you confirm it. Displaced lessons are moved or parked, never deleted. Draft it, give feedback, and keep your notes beside it. Questions? Text our helpline from the help section in Milo. Try Milo free for a month.

Four steps

How does the teacher schedule planner work?

  1. Set up the term

    Choose term dates and a weekly timetable or Day 1–5 rotation. Set the rotation’s starting day when you use one.

  2. Place your blocks

    Set your periods, recess and lunch. Place teaching and prep blocks on the grid, link each teaching block to its class and subject, and switch on Supervision for any recess or lunch you’re on duty for.

  3. Open a period and draft

    Use the week, day or month view. Open a teaching or prep period, choose expectations for the class and let Milo draft the lesson.

  4. Refine and keep notes

    Give feedback and Milo revises the lesson. Add pre- and post-lesson notes on the period. Preview calendar changes before confirming; lessons are moved or parked, never deleted.
