This help document shows you how to edit the instructional content for your lessons, which allows you to update the standards and skills to use with a specific lesson.
When Editing a Course, you can edit the instructions for your course is under Step 4: Edit Course Content.
Edit Instruction
When you edit the standards and skills associated with a lesson by editing the instruction parameters, the Curriculum Engine will update the learning objects that can be added to that lesson.
1. Click the ellipsis menu and select Edit Instruction.
2. This will bring up a window showing the available standards and skills for this course. Those already associated with the lesson will be checked. Those that are unchecked are not currently associated with that lesson.
Adding Standards
Adding standards enables you to add learning objects corresponding to those standards to the lesson. To add a standard, click the checkbox to the left of the standard name.
Removing Standards
Removing standards will remove the learning objects corresponding to those standards from the lesson. To remove a standard, uncheck the box to the left of the standard name.
Editing Skills
To add or remove a specific skill, click on the skill. If it is highlighted in purple, it is included; if it is shown in white, it is not included.
When only some of the skills are selected, the checkbox next to the standard will show a minus sign rather than a check mark. This indicates that some but not all of the skills associated with that standard are included.
3. Save changes.
Once you have edited the standards and skills, click the Apply button in the top right to save your changes.
**NOTE** If learning objects are being used in lessons that are aligned with standards or skills you have removed, they will be removed from the lesson, too.
If you removed any standards or skills, you will be prompted with a warning message:
4. Click Yes to apply your changes, or No to go back.
**NOTE** If you want to exit without saving, click the back arrow at the top left.
