Activities play an important role in the Embarc lesson planner. This article will outline the difference between the two features- and explain how they work together within the Embarc platform.
Activities
Activities are student learning experiences that capture instructional content and best practices in the curriculum. These do not change year to year, unless necessary. They are captured within the curriculum feature at the topic level of Embarc, as they are aligned with learning targets. If your district plans to utilize the lesson planning feature, activities are the main component of a lesson plan (and make it simple!).
The purpose is to incorporate the details of what a teacher does, students do, learning targets, standards, and links to instructional content
Teachers can select these in their lesson plans as the “meat” of instruction
Lesson Plans

Once you have created activities that house individual student learning experiences and curricular content, you are ready to utilize the lesson planner in Embarc. The lesson plan feature allows educators to attach learning targets, activities, and attachments to a specific date - creating a classroom specific curriculum road map. This is accessed through the Classroom portion of Embarc, and requires educators to first create a class, as well as activities for best use.
