The Classroom is a new way of navigating Instruction that provides commonly-used tools in the context of a specific section. Compared to the traditional tool-based organization, Classroom provides a section-based experience designed to streamline a teacher's time in Campus. 

Classroom organizes Instruction tools by section. 

Enable Classroom

Once Classroom has been enabled at the district level using the Classroom Settings tool, individual teachers turn on Classroom via the Teaching Center (formerly Control Center). 


With Classroom enabled, section names in the Teaching Center become links to open Classroom in the context of that section.

Understand Classroom

All of the tools in Classroom are already scoped to the section selected in the dropdown list at the top. Change the section using this dropdown or by clicking the home icon in the top left corner to return to the Teaching Center and select a different section. The color used for icons throughout Classroom matches the color you selected for the section in the Teaching Center.

In Classroom, tools are divided into four tabs: 

Classroom

The Classroom tab provides an at-a-glance view of the current curriculum for the section. Curriculum is sorted into the following sections:

  • Due Today: curriculum whose End Date is today.
  • In Progress: curriculum for which today falls within the Start and End Dates.
  • Upcoming: curriculum with a Start Date in the next week.
Each type of curriculum has its own identifying icon. Links below provide more information:

To the right of the current curriculum, Class Info provides basic information about the section. 

Curriculum

The Curriculum tab displays all curriculum for a section, across terms and alignments.

When you open the list, the highest level of your curriculum hierarchy displays. If you don't use folders to organize your content, you'll just see a list of all assignments and resources, ordered by Start Date. 

In the example above, I've organized my items into folders for the books my Lit class is reading, with a Course Syllabus resource at the top to keep it visible to students. I then clicked on the "To Kill a Mockingbird" folder to view the assignments, resources, and other items nested within that folder.

Within a folder, click the black arrow on the left side of the list to expand or collapse the folder list. In the image above, I've expanded the folder list to display next to my assignments and resources.

See the Curriculum List article for more information about this tool, including Filtering the List and using Edit Mode.

Note: the Curriculum tab looks differently to teachers who don't have the Enhanced Curriculum tool right.
