View curriculum maps and lesson plans for your courses on your Planner

You can use your Planner to access the curriculum maps for your courses. It provides a daily, weekly, or monthly view of how you apply the map and any district lessons plans to implement your classroom strategies.

Note: To add your own lesson plans to the map, click the Curriculum Map side-tab on the Gradebook tab.

You can also drag and drop topic and lesson plans to different dates. This lets you accurately reflect when you start and how long it takes to complete a topic or lesson plan.

You can also create and follow lesson plans separate from your district's curriculum map and lesson plans by using the Lessons view on your Planner.

To view curriculum maps and lesson plans on your Planner:

1. Log on to the Staff view.
2. Click the Planner tab. Your Planner appears.

   

3. In the upper-right corner of the screen, select the Curriculum checkbox. Colored bars appear on each day to represent map topics (units) to cover and lesson plans to use for each day for each of your classes.

   Note: You determine the colors that represent each of your classes in your Planner Settings.

4. Click the Day, Week, or Month sub-tab to determine the amount of time displayed on your Planner.
5. In the column on the left-hand side of the page, select the term and sections, or linked sections, you want to view the curriculum map for.
6. Click a map topic name to view or print the information for that topic.
7. The topic information appears. You can modify the Start day by dragging and dropping the bar that represents the map topic to a different day on your Planner.

7. Click Print to print the topic.

   Note: Only the topic information appears; you must print lesson plans created for that topic separately.

8. To view, edit, or print a lesson plan's details, click the lesson plan name.
9. The lesson plan pop-up appears.

10. 

    You can modify the Start day and Meetings days values here, or drag and drop the lesson plan bar on the Planner itself.

    Edit or add to any of the elements of the lesson plan. You can also click My Resources to attach your own files to the plan or drag and drop district-assigned resources to your My Resources.

    If the lesson plan already includes resources, such as presentation files or handouts, click the file or link to open it.

    Important: If you make changes or additions to a lesson plan, at the end of a course, be sure to print the entire curriculum map with lesson plans. The next year you teach the course, your view of the map is refreshed to display the original district map for the course; your changes no longer appear. You can refer to your printed curriculum map from the last time you taught the course to help develop your daily instruction for the new class.

9. At the top of the pop-up, click Print to print the lesson plan.

   Note: If you make a mistake, click Revert to undo any changes.

10. Click Save and Close to save your changes or additions and return to your Planner.
