Index Grid — lesson plan template, Swiss grid layout, rendered from live data

Rendered by the same engine the API runs — this is the compiled output, not a mock-up.

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Index Grid does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
masthead rule carrying the lesson code; foot rule with school, unit and next-lesson line
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
sequence rows (timecode / phase / teacher move / grouping); source-set entries; prep lines with times; rubric criterion rows; standards entries; differentiation lines
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
objective statement and success criteria; source provenance notes; rubric descriptors; differentiation lines; post-lesson notes
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
masthead rule at page top; foot rule at page bottom on every page
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
meta strip after the masthead; objective after the meta strip; source column beside the sequence and after it on a narrow page; rubric after the sequence; assessment band after the rubric; the three note columns last
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
the sequence and rubric tables may split with their head rows repeating; a single sequence row, a single rubric row and the assessment band must not
Last pageHow the document ends
the assessment band and the note columns may occupy the final page alone; the masthead and foot rules carry it

The pairing this design was drawn around, laid out as a Swiss grid on A4 portrait. Either face can be swapped in the editor — the layout holds on the grid, not on a font's metrics.
