Map a Teaching Week Without Losing the Lesson-to-Curriculum Connection

A weekly map is most useful when it shows more than empty periods. Teachers also need to know which curriculum lesson belongs in each class slot. KiwiBee keeps those ideas together in Schedule → Mapping: the timetable provides the teaching structure, while the selected curriculum supplies the lesson sequence. The result is a reviewable connection between a published slot and a real curriculum lesson, not an automatically invented plan. Availability still depends on role, organization configuration, class setup, enabled modules, and accessible data.

Begin with the week and timetable that actually apply

Mapping opens around the selected teaching week. For individual teacher workspaces, the system prepares the Monday-to-Sunday range when the applicable calendar feature is enabled. Dated scheduled occurrences remain authoritative when available because they can carry cancellations, reschedules, attendance identity, and existing lesson assignments. If those dated rows cannot provide the complete view, active published recurring slots can remain the fallback rather than making the rest of the week disappear.

This distinction matters. Mapping is not the place to create a timetable from nothing. Teachers work with slots that have already been published through the permitted scheduling workflow. Draft or expired series should not quietly become teaching destinations for the selected week. The week control and optional weekend view help the teacher inspect the correct range before attaching lessons.

Select one curriculum before placing lessons

The lesson tray is scoped to the curriculum the teacher selects. It does not need to fetch an entire organization’s lesson catalogue. The available curriculum list follows the teacher’s class and curriculum relationships, scheduled links, and applicable workspace rules; archived or inaccessible material should stay outside the tray. In shared teaching contexts, lesson visibility can also respect teacher-specific assignments.

Each draggable item represents a curriculum lesson, with its existing title and sequence context. When the teacher places that lesson on a compatible timetable slot, the saved mapping links the exact curriculum lesson to the schedule slot. The timetable card can then use its curriculum-owned color and lesson identity to show the association. Mapping a lesson does not independently rewrite the timetable, change class membership, or claim that the lesson has been taught.

Review the whole week as a connected plan

1. Open Schedule → Mapping and confirm the selected week.
2. Check that the visible timetable slots belong to the expected classes and dates.
3. Choose the curriculum you intend to teach before reviewing the lesson tray.
4. Follow the curriculum sequence, then drag the appropriate lesson to a compatible published slot.
5. Review the mapped card and confirm that the class, slot, and lesson are the intended combination.
6. Repeat across the week, leaving uncertain placements unmapped until the responsible teacher can verify them.

This approach gives the week a visible curriculum thread without replacing professional judgment. It also avoids universal claims: a school may expose different curricula, classes, actions, or schedule data according to its configuration.
