To create your first Lesson Plan, log into the web app on any web browser and follow the steps below:
Select the Learning tab at the top of the screen, then select Lesson Plans
Select New Lesson Plan
Enter the name of that week's plan
Select the week you would like to schedule the lesson plan to, as well as the Room or Rooms the plan applies to. Note: These are the rooms that will be able to View the lesson plan from their mobile device.
Next, enter an optional theme or note to apply to each day
Create a Category for each row of activities throughout the week, to create a new category, just type the name and hit Enter
Enter a brief description for each day under the categories you have created and add a Lesson created for each category
That's it! All of your edits are saved as you go, or you can select Save Lesson Plan at the top of the template. You can also add a brief weekly note for your staff at the bottom of the week's lesson plan.
Pro Tip: Category rows can be used to organize lessons into times of the day, or developmental domains, depending on each classroom or program's needs.
Please Note: Each room can only have one lesson plan added to them per week.
