Lesson Planner
Updated onArticleCurriculum guides are created by district curriculum and learning specialists, and are assigned to specific courses. For example, the district may create curriculum guides for English 1, Geometry, Biology 1, and Spanish 1. Curriculum guides may contain unit and lesson plans, unit and lesson components (e.g. Objectives, Essential Questions, Evidence of Learning), starting and ending dates for pacing, and resources such as files, videos, assignments, and standards. Teachers import content from curriculum guides (located in the Course Plan Catalog) into their own course plans. Depending on permissions set by the district, teachers may be able to modify, add, or remove content once imported into their course plans. In the example below, Spanish 1 is a curriculum guide created by the district.
