Curriculum Administrators can create and share a district-wide planner for Wonders and Maravillas with teachers in their districts. Once you’ve created a class and customized the planner to the desired schedule and instructional plan, you can use the District Planner Manager tool to set that planner as an option for all teachers in the district. You’ll need to create a district-wide planner for each grade level to allow all teachers to create classes utilizing a district planner.
Auto-Rostering Districts: If you choose to create and activate a District Planner, all classes created through the auto-rostering process will use that planner moving forward. Classes created prior to the district planner’s activation will not be affected. If teachers create their own classes, they will have the option to select to use the district planner. Teachers can adjust these district planners as needed, and they can still opt to create a new class using their own planner.

District Planner Manager Roles
To access the District Planner Manager in Wonders, you will need an account with both the Teacher and Curriculum Administrator roles enabled. If you do not have an account, or if you have an existing account but are missing the Teacher or Curriculum Administrator role, reach out to your Organization Administrator to have an account created and/or the proper roles assigned. If you are an Organization Administrator, you can create accounts by following the Create ÌÇÐÄVlog Administrator Accounts article or the Manage Roles for an Existing User article depending on if an account needs to be created or an existing account needs to be edited.
Note: If you have the Curriculum Administrator role assigned, but do not see the District Planner Manager option available within Wonders, try removing the assigned role and readding it to get the option to show. This will need to be done using an Organization Administrator account. Another option is to add the Student Edition to your teacher account to get the option to show.
