How Do I Navigate Curriculum in Kiddom?
Kiddom has an updated curriculum navigation experience! Based on teacher feedback, we’ve redesigned the curriculum navigation experience to reduce the number of clicks, help teachers better unpack the curriculum, and support teachers with navigating to the most important parts of their curriculum with ease and speed. Plus, we’ve added some jazzy color!
At this time, the updated curriculum navigation experience is only available for some curricula. Rest assured, we're working hard to provide this updated experience for all of our curricula and we thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime! Please see the list below for our currently supported curricula:
- EL Education K-8
When you enter your grade level curriculum, you’ll notice your core units or modules on the first page, along with additional resources as you scroll down the page.
If the curriculum you’re viewing has additional overview information for the course, module, or unit, you’ll be able to locate it by clicking the “Overview” tab. We separated out the overview information so you can choose to navigate to it if you’re new to the curriculum, or you can keep it hidden if you just need to navigate to the lesson resources.
Unit Page
To begin viewing your lessons, click into the module or unit you’d like to view. If you scroll down on this unit page, you’ll see the lesson plans as well as the unit assessments that have been separated out so they are easier to locate, along with all the lesson presentations for the unit! Previously, the presentations were only located at the lesson level. They can still be found at the lesson level, but they are now also available at the unit level so you have a faster and easier way to locate your lesson presentations.
Summaries
We’ve added in summaries of lessons, units, and modules to aid in the navigation and to help teachers unpack the curriculum.
Breadcrumb Navigation Bar
We’ve also added a breadcrumb navigation bar in the header section of the curriculum, so teachers can quickly navigate between resources with fewer clicks.
Lesson Overview Page
When you click into a lesson, you’ll notice a familiar view on the lesson overview page with the Table of Contents on the left side displaying the lesson’s presentation, assignable activities, and any additional lesson resources. You can still click on any of these items to navigate directly to them.
On the right side, you’ll see the full view of the lesson overview page that includes the same resources listed within the Table of Contents, as well as additional teacher lesson plan notes and resources as you scroll down on this page.
You can also easily navigate to other lessons within the unit by using the breadcrumb navigation bar in the header, as well as to other units from this page.
Lesson Overview Page: Assigning All Activities
On the lesson overview page, you also have the option to assign the lesson presentation and all student assignable activities in one flow. Click the blue “Assign” button in the upper right corner, select the class(es) you want to assign to, set your assignment settings, and confirm. The assignment settings will apply to the presentation and to all assignable activities within the lesson.
What if I only want to assign certain activities?
If you want to select certain activities to assign, you can do so by clicking into the specific activity and clicking the blue “Assign” button on the activity page. Click here to learn more about assigning activities and click here to learn more about assigning with Lesson Launch!
