Once you select the Content Area and then the Grade Level for the lesson, you will be given a list of all the state standards in that subject area.

Go through and check the box(es) located on the right-hand side of the standard that you will achieve with your lesson.

Done, Done, And Done

Once you clicked “Add Selected Items”, you will find all of your selected standards on the left hand side of your page. If you see that one was added by accident, simply click the “X” next to the standard you wish to remove.

Now would be a smart time to click “Save” again!

If you scroll down there are additional options that can be found. You can add notes that only you can see, you can make your lessons public to all on your user site or just your principal.

There are a lot of different ways to search for a lesson. -You can search the content area, and the grade, and the class, for a specific lesson for a class.

-You can also search just the content area, or just the Grade.Or

Leave everything blank and hit search. That will bring up every lesson that you have created and saved.Those are just a few of the search options, Play around and see what your search preferences are.

I Get The Idea

This is the tip of the iceberg for my lesson results. As you can see I searched just the content area. From this page I can schedule lessons, edit them, print out copies for myself or a sub, or delete them if

needed. Lessons are listed alphabetically and with the summary that you may have added previously in slide 10. if you did not add a summary, the beginning of your lesson becomes the posted summary.
