Key terms to know
When navigating to the Learning page from your account on the web, you'll see multiple tabs:
Upon clicking into Library, you'll see two additional tabs: Lesson Plans and Learning Activities.
Let's review these in more depth and overview what Observations are.
Lesson plans assigned to Room | The Overview tab is where you can view the unique copy of a lesson plan template assigned to a specific room. |
Library | Under the Library page, you'll find Lesson plan templates and Learning activities. |
Lesson Plans | Lesson Plans are where you can view or create lesson plans to utilize across the entire program. Lesson plans can then be assigned to rooms which creates a unique copy. They are visible from the Lesson plans tab within your account on the web. |
Learning Activities | Learning activities (aka lessons) are the individual activities that make up a lesson plan. You can easily click Create learning activity from this tab to create an activity that can be added to your lesson plans. They can be viewed from the Learning activities tab within your account on the web or through the lesson plans themselves by simply clicking on an activity on the web or app. |
Portfolios | Preparing for family-teacher conferences can be time-consuming and challenging, requiring detailed child development narratives and supporting evidence. Brightwheel's student Portfolios streamline this process, allowing easy creation of visually appealing summaries on student progress using Photos, Videos, Observations, and Notes. |
Observations | Observations allow educators to log student observations following a set of state standards or learning frameworks. Observations can be used to track progress toward specific developmental skills using our mobile app. |
