Create and Share Activities

My Activities Tab

All teachers have access to a My Activities tab. Activities can be created either within a lesson plan entry or directly in the My Activities tab. After editing, teachers can publish these activities to the district's scope and sequence, where they will be reviewed and approved by district curriculum managers. Publishing activities allows the district to build a more comprehensive scope and sequence, incorporating exemplary lesson plans created by teachers.
