Editing Lesson Plan Items


Introduction

You can edit any Lesson Plan item, or any group of selected Lesson Plan items. Editing a Lesson Plan item has no effect on Assignments created from that item. Likewise, editing an Assignment does not have any effect on the Lesson Plan item that it originated from.

This Help Page covers editing existing Lesson Plan items. You can also preform the following actions on Lesson Plan items:

  • Add a single item to a Lesson Plan
  • Add multiple items to a Lesson Plan with repeating or incremented PLC text.
  • Change Day Numbers for selected Lesson Plan items.
  • Copy a Lesson Pan item to create more Lesson Plan items with repeating or incremented PLC text.
  • Copy Lesson Plan items into a new or existing Lesson Plan
  • Create a Lesson Plan with a repeating pattern
  • Create Assignments from Lesson Plan items using the Scheduler tool
  • Delete one or more Lesson Plan items
  • Export Lesson Plan items to a .CSV file
  • Import a Lesson Plan that has been shared by another HSTOnline user
  • Set the Used status for a Student for selected Lesson Plan items
  • Share all or part of a Lesson Plan with other HSTOnline users
  • Generate a list of Topics from a Lesson Plan using the Scope & Sequence - Lesson Plan Report
  • Generate a list of Supplies from a Lesson Plan using the Supplies Report
