Lesson Library Overview

The Lesson Library is where lesson plans and lesson folders can be created and shared with your Access Groups. It serves as a bank for all lessons created through the Lesson Manager. When you assign an Access Group to a lesson, the associated classrooms can access the content through their Lesson Planner. You can also add lesson plans created through the Lesson Library to Weekly Templates. This lets teachers quickly populate their Lesson Planner with pre-selected content for the entire week.
