Lesson Plan Component

Introduction

Schoolbox lets you add Lesson Plan components to your homepage and dashboard.

The Lesson Plan component that school staff can add on the homepage allows students and parents to view Lesson Plans specific to that class.

The Lesson Plan component on the dashboard shows Lesson Plans for all pages that you are a member of (within the set display range). 

You can:

• Add the Lesson Plan component to your Homepage (for school staff)
• Add the Lesson Plan component to your Dashboard (for Superusers)
• View All Lesson Plans
   

You can also go back to Overview of Lesson Plans.
