Build New Curriculum

All the curriculum is built under the Develop tab.

To add a Curriculum Folder

• Click on Create New Folder button at the bottom left. It will add a folder called 'New Folder'.

• Click on the 'New Folder' in the left column.

• Click on the bold words New Folder, on the top bar.

• It will drop down a section where you can edit the folder name, and assign Type, Grade, and Subjects (optional at the folder level). Type in the real name of the folder and hit Save. You will see a 'Changes successfully saved' message within a green background appear at the top, with the folder renamed.

• From here, you can 'Create New Folder' or 'Create New Course' (see top right bar).

To add a Curriculum Course

• Select the folder you want the new curriculum course to be part of.
• On the bar at the top right, click on 'Create New Course' and a 'New Course' will be created. In this example, I added this course to a folder called 'Sample Folder'. Initially, that folder was empty and didn't display any triangle in front of it. Now, it has a triangle, and it's outlined in blue to indicate that the course I'm on right now is part of this folder.

• To edit its name and assign a Type, Grade, and Subject (if not already inherited from the parent folder), click on the bold words 'New Course' on the top bar.

• From here, you can 'Create New Unit' (see top right bar).

To add a Curriculum Unit

• Select the course you want the new curriculum unit to be part of.
• Click on 'Create New Unit' at the top right on the bar.
• If the course and folder where the unit is going to 'live' do not already have a Type, Grade, and Subject assigned, you will need to assign them before you can edit this unit. Type in the real name for this unit, check the box(es) for the appropriate Type, Grade, and/or Subject, and hit the Save button.

• In this example, my new unit is called 'Sample Unit', and as you can see on the top bar, it has a Type (Local Assessment), a Grade (4), and a Subject (Reading) assigned. This new unit is a Working Version.

Under the Data tab:

• Click on Select Information. Use the filters at the top to narrow down the list presented to you. Click on the curriculum course to see the curriculum units it contains.

• Click on Assessment to access any attachments (e.g. worksheet, scoring guide,...) that may be available, task details, materials, and any additional directions.

If you have FULL Access or Curriculum Development Access, you can also view the curriculum under the Develop Tab.

Under the Develop tab:

• You can click on All Units and use the filter to locate the course/unit you're interested in in the list. Then hover over the unit name and click on it to go right to it.
• OR, you can navigate in the left column by clicking on the triangle to open the folder and course you're interested in, and clicking on the unit you wish to go to.
• From there, you will see three tabs: Curriculum, Assessment, and Rubric.
• The Curriculum tab will bring up the curriculum page.
• The Assessment tab will bring up a page where you can access any attachments (e.g. worksheet, scoring guide,...) that may be available, task details, materials, and/or any additional directions.
