With the Primary Planning Tool, you can now collaborate on Long-term Plan templates with colleagues from the same class level. With this feature, multiple teachers can create one Long-term Plan template for a class level. Each teacher can then create individual Short-term Plans and Cuntais Míosúla based on this template. You have the option of creating templates from scratch or basing them on previously archived Long-term Plans.

- You will also see the status option.
- In order to access certain templates, you must have been a contributor to the creation of the template. You can, however, access these templates as long as the creators have granted school wide access.

Choosing your Starting Point

- Now it is time to choose select a starting point for creating this new template. You have a couple of options here.
- Start with a blank document: Choose this option if you are looking to create a new template completely from scratch. A good example of when to create a new LTP template would be if you are collaborating with colleagues from a new class level for the first time.
- Use an existing plan: Select this option if you would like to create a template based on a previously created Long-term Plan. You should create a template if you wish to give a colleague access to a class plan.
