Plan
Day View
The Plan’s day view provides links to the
lessons and information to help you prepare to teach. For each scheduled
lesson, the Plan’s day view screen provides the course name, lesson information,
lesson number and title, materials needed, assessment information, and
completion status.
If you don’t complete a lesson on the day
it is scheduled, the lesson will move forward on the schedule until you
mark it “completed.” When you complete a lesson, it will stay on the plan
on that date.
You can use the arrows next to the “Change
Date” button to move ahead or behind in the schedule one day at a time.
To go to any date, click the “Change Date” button.
Adult Guided Lesson
Lessons that need to be taught by an adult are indicated on the Plan
with a grey circle with the letter A. (NOTE:Adult-guided lessons require
the adult’s user name and password to gain access to each lesson from
the student area.)
Grades K-3:
All of the lessons for Kindergarten through grade 3 are to be taught by
an adult. Grades4-5:
In grades 4-5 some of the courses are adult-guided. Grades 6-8:
In grades 6-8 all of the online lessons are developed for the students
to go through on their own.
Lessons
If the lesson is delivered
online, the lesson title will be underlined and highlighted in blue. Click
on the lesson title to go to the lesson. The Literature courses
within Language Arts/English contain some units in which you and your
student will select which novel to read from a list. The lessons for the
selected novel then appear in the Plan and Progress. Lessons that are delivered
entirely off of the computer are not highlighted. Use the materials list
to print the documents needed to teach the lesson.
Assessments
Click on the highlighted
“Assessment” link to go directly to the assessment. Assessments that have
not been taken are indicated as “Not Taken.” Assessments that have been
taken are indicated with the assessment results.
Completion Status
The plan offers a quick way to see if the
day’s lessons are completed, not completed, or skipped. The boxes in the
far right column show the completion status. A filled-in box indicates
a completed lesson, an empty box indicates a lesson that is not complete,
and a box with a slash through it indicates a skipped lesson.
To change the status of a lesson:
Click on the box associated with the lesson. Click on the box that represents the accurate
status.
Please note:
Once you mark a lesson completed, you cannot change
its status. The lesson stays on the plan on the date it was marked “Completed.” A lesson that is marked “Skipped” can be changed
to “Completed” or “Not completed.” The lesson will remain on the Plan
on the date it was marked “Skipped.” Changing the lesson status back to
“Not completed” will move that lesson to be the next one taught for the
course.
