Initialize lesson plans for a curriculum map

As a Chemistry teacher, you need to make a lesson plan for every day of a curriculum map topic. By initializing lesson plans, you can automatically create a space for each lesson plan on the curriculum map. Then, you can fill in the fields for each plan.

For example, map topic Unit 2 has a duration of 35 days. When you initialize lesson plans, the system adds 35 empty lesson plan headers on your curriculum map for you to fill in:

Note: If you show lesson plans on the timeline of the map, a green line appears for each lesson plan within the topic and displays the Meeting days.

To initialize lesson plans for a map topic on a curriculum map:

  1. Log on to the District view.
  2. Click the Assessment tab.
  3. Click the Curriculum Maps side-tab.
  4. Select the curriculum map you want to work with, and then click Chart on the side-tab.
  5. On the timeline, select the map topic you want to initialize lesson plans for.

    The system underlines the map topic name, and outlines its bar on the timeline in red.

  1. On the Options menu, click Initialize Lesson Plans. The system asks if you are sure, and informs you that this will not delete any existing lesson plans you have created for the map topic.
  2. Click Yes. A green line represents each lesson plan for each day of the map topic in the timeline, as well as a header for each below the timeline.
  3. To fill in the fields for a specific lesson plan, find the lesson plan header, and click inside the Details box.

    The lesson plan pop-up appears.

  1. To fill in information for one field only, click the box for that field. For example, to add a list of study aids, click inside the Study Topics box.
  2. Click in the Standards box to align a lesson plan to standards.
