The new menu system for My Lesson Planner went live this morning. Be sure and send us feedback if you are experiencing any issues. We think this new menu will allow for an overall easier lesson planning experience, and we hope you think so too! Here is a brief training document to guide you through

The Lesson Plan Review process has been enhanced to notify a teacher with an email after a comment has been placed on a Lesson Plan.

Soon, we will be bringing in an updated menu structure that will change the way My Lesson Planner appears.
