Premium Lesson Planning is an optional tool that provides a range of features to enhance lesson management within Atlas. It offers a Lesson Management Page that allows lesson managers to manage lessons effectively. Lesson Managers can categorize lessons, access detailed information about each lesson, and utilize various filters to find specific lessons. The tool also facilitates the marking of lessons as Approved Examples, making it easier for teachers to find and use exemplary lessons. Lesson Managers also have the ability to be part of the review process, by managing lesson approvals, and re-assign lessons without editors.
If you don't see it in your Atlas, please contact your Atlas Account Manager, or our support team at support@onatlas.com to initiate the process to activate it.
Lesson Manager
All admins have the "Lesson Manager" privileges by default. However, not all Lesson Managers are admins. This role is designed for principals and department leads who need to review and manage lessons but don't require full Admin rights. To grant a user Lesson Manager role:
- Navigate to Admin > Manage Users.
- Search for the user, click its arrow icon in the Actions column and select Edit User.
- Check off the Lesson Manager check-box then click Save.
Lesson Managers can access Premium Lesson Planning tools through a Manage Lessons Quick Link on their Dashboard.
Manage Lessons
- For Admins: from Admin > Admin Dashboard > Manage Lessons link in the Premium Lesson Planning section.
- For Lesson Managers: from My Atlas > My Dashboard > Manage Lessons tile in Quick Links section.
Lesson Managers can use this page to manage all lessons in their Atlas. Filters to the left can help find specific lesson(s). Lessons can be sorted by the District Lesson, Status, Lesson Title, Course, Lesson Editor, Duration, Last Updated.
