Set the lesson and prepare for a class
Each class page shows the lesson for that session. ChessCore suggests the next topic from the programme’s syllabus, and you can keep it or set your own. The page also holds a prep note and quick notes about students.
Steps
Open the class from Today or This week.
The Lesson: line shows the plan for this class, with a tag: Set by coach, Suggested or Not set. Suggested means the next topic from the programme’s syllabus.
Select Set lesson, or Change lesson if you already set one.
Choose a Topic, a Study, or both. Topics from the programme’s syllabus are listed first. Add an optional Note for this class of up to 500 characters.
Select Save lesson. To go back to the syllabus suggestion, select Use suggestion.
Select the Prep button to see Latest student notes and write Today’s prep note. The note saves when you leave the box.
During or after class, select Note, choose a student in Select student, write what they worked on, and select Save note.
