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
ACTIVITIES:
Created at the Curriculum level
Capture the best practices to provide a learning experience for students
Integrate all resources for that learning in one place (textbook, online resources, teacher created, etc.)
Pulls into the Lesson Planner
Do NOT need to be re-created each year (minor revisions)
LESSON PLANS:
Created in the Classroom function
Populated with ACTIVITIES that are already created at the Curriculum level
Allow educators to specify considerations for that year's student population
Archived yearly with your Class
