When you begin creating the lesson plan, on the Lesson Plan Maintenance screen, only the Main tab is available. Once the lesson plan has been saved, the Attachments and Schedule tabs become available. Even if you have saved the lesson plan, you must schedule it before it displays on the Lessons tab on the Class Dashboard. Lesson plan templates can be used to standardize layout and formatting. (See also: “Academic Standards” and “Attachments.”)
1.On the Teacher Home Page, click Enter Lesson Plans.
2.On the Lesson Plan Maintenance screen, in the Title field, enter the name of the lesson plan.
3.Verify that the desired lesson plan template displays in the text editor. If not, select a different template from the Templates drop-down list, or create a new one (see “Create Lesson Plan Template” ).
4.Enter your lesson plan text.
Note: You may also enter or paste formatted text from a word processing program and then use the text editor to further edit and format the text as needed. To retain any custom formatting you apply to your lesson plan text, you must use a unique template that includes that formatting so that it displays in every lesson plan created with that template.
5.Click Save.
6.You may perform any of the following optional steps while creating a lesson plan:
•To include private notes with the lesson plan, enter text in the Private Notes area (private notes cannot be viewed by anyone other than you—even teachers with whom you share lesson plans).
•To associate the lesson plan with a specific subject, select it from the Content Area drop-down list.
•To assign the lesson plan to a specific grade level, select it from the Grade Level drop-down list.
Note: If you have selected a content area and grade level while creating the lesson plan, those display along with the lesson plan in the search results.
•To associate the lesson plan with a specific category, enter a name describing the lesson plan in the Enter a New Unit field or select a previously created unit from the Select a Unit drop-down list.
•To share the lesson plan with other teachers, select With teachers in my list from the Share? list (click the Set Up Lesson Plan Sharing link in the left column to designate the teachers with whom you want to share)
