[DELETE] How can I plan my units as an educator?

Figma | Intercom
Unit planning is at the core of teaching and learning, allowing educators to design and organize an effective delivery of the curriculum. In Toddle, unit planning happens directly within the Course plan, giving teachers a central place to create, manage, and review all units linked to their classes.
In this article, you will learn how to:
Navigate to unit planning
View and organize units
Create and edit units

Navigate to unit planning

To begin:
Go to ClassCourse plan
From this page, you can open and edit existing units, explore their planners, or create new ones.
Note: Only staff members with course editor access can create or edit units within the Course plan. Other staff members, when added to units, will have view-only access.

View and organize units

The ‘Course plan’ provides flexible ways to view, organise, and search your units — helping you plan effectively, track curriculum coverage, and access the right information quickly.

Viewing options

The Course plan offers different ways to view your units. You can toggle between views using the options at the top of the page: Flow, Card, Timeline, and Table.
Note: Your selected view will be retained automatically each time you return to the Course plan, so you can continue working in your preferred layout.

You can create new units or manage existing ones — including editing, duplicating, printing, and sharing — all directly within the ‘Course plan’.

Create a new unit

To create a new unit, click on the ‘+ Add’ button at the top right.
You will see options to:
Create an ‘Interdisciplinary unit’ – connects learning across multiple subjects.
Create a ‘Subject-specific unit’ – focuses on a single subject area.
If you wish to import an existing unit, use the ‘Import from unit library’ option. You can import a single unit or bulk import multiple units.

Unit flow – outline the sequence of learning experiences and assessments.
Evidencing – collect and review evidence of student learning.
Reflections – record teacher and student reflections on the unit.

Edit units

Each unit in the Course plan includes a three-dot menu that allows you to manage and perform key actions.
Click on the three-dot menu beside a unit to:
Edit – Open and make changes to the unit.
Edit share settings – Manage who can view or edit the unit.
Duplicate – Create a copy of the unit to reuse.
Expand all folders – Expand all sections within the unit.
Print – Download or print the unit as a PDF.
Manage unit planner visibility – Choose which sections of the unit planner are visible to students and family members.
Delete – Remove the unit from the Course plan. ​Note: Units cannot be archived. Deleted units move to the Bin and can only be restored by your school administrator.
Note: In the Card, Timeline, and Table views, the three-dot menu includes only ‘Edit’, ‘Duplicate’, ‘Print’, and ‘Delete’ options. Additionally, only staff members with course editor access can create or edit units within the Course plan. Other staff members will have view-only access.
