Stretch or compress a unit as pacing changes — the plan stays coherent.
Pacing always shifts. Assemblies, reteaching days, faster-than-expected progress — they all reshape the unit window. Planlark lets you stretch or compress a unit directly on the timeline, and the lesson sequence, dates, and surrounding plans adjust to fit the new span without a full rebuild.
What the AI can do
AI can update unit dates and keep the surrounding sequence aligned to the new span.
The unit timeline adapts when pacing changes instead of forcing a complete rebuild.
Context aware
Connected to the weekly planner, schedule rules, and unit structure.
Teacher controlled
You review and refine changes instead of handing the whole process away.
Built for school reality
Designed around shifting timetables, real curriculum work, and mid-week edits.
Where Unit Timeline Resizing fits into the planning week.
Adjust a unit visually on the timeline as pacing shifts because of assemblies, reteaching, or faster-than-expected progress.
Keep the unit planner grounded in the real school calendar so longer or shorter units reflect actual teaching time.
Connect timeline changes to the lesson sequence so the plan still makes sense after the adjustment.
Real reasons teachers reach for this feature.
Extension for reteaching
Students need more time on a concept. Stretch the unit by three days and the sequence spreads to fill the new window.
Compression for pacing
A unit finishes early. Shrink the timeline and the remaining lessons consolidate onto fewer class dates.
Cross-unit coordination
Extend one unit and the adjacent unit start date shifts forward automatically to avoid overlap.
What it looks like when a teacher actually uses it.
These example prompts and outcomes show the kind of planning work this feature is designed to handle.

Prompt
"Push the start of Unit 4 back by one week."
