From Outlook to your planner
Some schools publish each teacher's timetable straight into Outlook. If yours does, you are closer than you think: Outlook can save a calendar as an .ics file, and that is the format Made to Teach imports best.
Step 1
Open the calendar area of Outlook and work out which calendar actually holds your classes. If your school publishes timetables into Outlook, it is often a separate calendar sitting alongside your personal one — which makes for a much cleaner export.
Step 2
In Outlook's calendar settings, look for an option to save, export, or publish a calendar — the result you want is an .ics file. Choose just the timetable calendar, and if Outlook asks for a date range, cover at least one full timetable cycle.
Step 3
Export the timetable calendar on its own if you can. Your planner does not need your personal appointments — and you can remove any stray events from the draft during review anyway.
Step 4
In the app, open Classes → Import timetable. Upload the file directly on your device, or choose Import using our website, generate a one-time code, and upload from any browser at import.madetoteach.com.au.
Step 5
Made to Teach turns your upload into a draft timetable. Check every class name, room, day, and time, fix anything that looks wrong, then choose Add timetable to schedule.
