Import chapters from a standard curriculum in Circin Maestro

Pick a board, class and subject, tick the chapters and topics you teach, and import them into your own subject instead of typing them out.

Teacher

Rather than typing a syllabus chapter by chapter, you can browse a published curriculum and import the parts you teach. The import writes real lessons and topics into your own subject, and running it again updates instead of duplicating.

How do I import chapters?

  1. On the Manage tab open Curriculum, and check that the Grade and Subject pills are the subject you want to import into.
  2. Tap the filled Import from curriculum button.
  3. The sheet Choose curriculum opens — Pick the syllabus to browse — you can map its chapters into any of your subjects. Year is fixed at Latest; choose Board, Class and Subject. Class and subject are pre-filled from your context where they match.
  4. Tap Continue, which stays greyed out until class and subject are both set.
  5. The import screen opens, sub-titled Importing into <your subject>. Tap a chapter name or its chevron to expand it into topic rows; each row has its own checkbox and a muted line of concept names for context.
  6. Tick the chapters and topics you want — or use Select all — and tap Import selected (N).
  7. You land back on the curriculum list, with a snackbar headed Curriculum import reporting, for example, 12 added, 3 updated.

Rules and gotchas

  • The curriculum's subject is deliberately independent of yours: a Physics teacher can import from Science. That is why the picker asks rather than matching names.
  • The concept lines under a topic are reference only. They are never imported.
  • Re-importing is safe. A chapter renamed upstream counts as updated, and nothing is duplicated; an unchanged scope reports Already up to date.
  • Boards come from the server, so the list varies by school. If it cannot be reached you get Could not load the curriculum. with the error.
  • Nothing found for a scope reads No chapters found for <scope>. Try a different class or subject.
  • A failed import writes nothing and shows an Import failed snackbar.

Hand-built lessons work the same way afterwards — see Add lessons and topics.
