Selecting a standard will show details in the bottom-right corner.
Resources
Single-click to preview. Double-click to view entire resource. The resource/activity can then be printed or added to the lesson planner by clicking, “Use in Plans.” The resource will append the current lesson plan entry, but it won’t replace any text already in the entry.
TEKS/TAKS
This tab displays associated TEKS (Knowledge and Skills statement and Student Expectation), STAAR Reporting Categories, and Knowledge and Skill for selected standard. TAKS Objectives may appear also.
Performance
For Aware Customers only: This shows a comparison graph of student performance on the most recent State Standardized test or District Local Assessment.
History
This tab displays all dates the standard has been used in lesson plans during the current school year.
When you select a student expectation, the resources box is populated with information pertaining to that specific SE. We have already discussed the resources section, which is what will automatically appear when an SE is selected.
In addition, you can click on the Texas flag icon to access information about associated TEKS, STAAR reporting categories, and knowledge and skill statements. If you teach a TAKS grade, you will see TAKS objectives. Note: if you teach a non-tested grade or course, you may not see all of this information because it does not pertain to the standards in your course.
As we begin using Aware, our new data system, the next icon will become very useful. Training for Aware will occur later in the year. In the meantime, campus administrators or district staff will provide data reports for you. The green graph icon will show you a comparison graph of student performance based on the most recent assessment data. This will help you analyze data and make decisions in response from right there in your lesson planner.
Finally, as you use your lesson planner more and more, the scroll icon will display information about the dates you have addressed that specific SE in your lesson plans. This will help you track how often you target each SE in your lessons.

20. STANDARDS AND RESOURCES BOX
Any resources or materials attached to a student expectation will appear in the box in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
Double-Click to open a resource

Content will be added to any existing lessons (appended) that exist in the target dates or weeks.
There is no "undo" when you copy lessons.
(Click through and read instructions on the slide)

24. Week View and Copy Wizard
Copy Instructional Days from year to year
We strongly recommend that you do NOT copy the entire year. There is no undo option! It is best to copy a couple weeks at a time by limiting the copy down to 10 to 15 instructional days.
Shift Lesson Plans a Day
For occasions such as an inclement weather day or an unexpected event, lesson plans can be shifted ahead one day. Shifting lesson plans will move all content up one day from the day selected to the end of the instructional year.
(Click through and read instructions on the slide)
(Allow a few minutes for teachers to practice copying on non-instructional days. Suggest they use the current week.)
