TeacherPro for Canvas is an all in one productivity toolkit that helps instructors reclaim time, reduce repetitive clicking, and simplify course management directly inside Canvas. It fits naturally into your existing workflow and turns long, error prone tasks into quick, predictable steps. Built by teachers who wanted their evenings back, TeacherPro streamlines grading, scheduling, and day to day course maintenance so you can focus on actual teaching instead of platform logistics. Key Features Course Scheduler Reuse a course and rebuild its timeline in minutes. Apply start and end dates, holidays and blackout days, weekday rules, and special scheduling logic. Preview schedules by module or by item, drag and reorder assignments, and apply changes with confidence. Edit Dates and Reset Tools Quickly adjust or reset assignment and calendar dates using preview based plans. Filter by title, omit items you do not want touched, select in bulk, and confirm changes before anything is applied.
