An updated and modernized Atlas has been released. That means a smoother experience, better accessibility, and it’s ADA compliant (video here).

Teachers can submit lessons to colleagues or supervisors for review, and receive feedback.

The existing notes and discussions functions will be replaced by new and intuitive commenting and discussion features. Having public and private discussions on curriculum and instruction will be easy on Atlas.

See how many units, and lessons are targeting each standard, in the “Standards Overview” report.

Lessons are now archived with units during the annual archiving process, allowing teachers to go back and revisit older versions of a lesson taught in previous years.

Curriculum Director’s best assistant! Customizable tool that puts all resources and communications needed to plan and implement a successful curriculum process at your schools. Use preset steps, or create your own modules with content; and draft & schedule communications to send out to staff at various stages. Great for keeping the institutional memory!

Curriculum Developers can set “Draft” status for units. This limits the unit visibilities to only Curriculum Developers during the draft stage.

Curriculum Developers can identify Priority and Supporting standards for each unit. Learn more here.

Users can invite others to collaborate on lessons they create across all grade levels and disciplines. This makes cross-disciplinary collaboration a breeze!

Atlas can be launched within Learning Management Systems such as Canvas and Schoology. This provides visibility of the school curriculum to teachers so they can design and deliver instruction guided by the curriculum map.

• Access all of your courses from the Dashboard.
• Add a new unit or lesson with one click.
• Navigate simplified menus with ease.

Teaching a course you did not personally design the curriculum for? No problem. With clearly delineated roles between a curriculum writer and a teacher, schools can create centralized curriculum and view how different teachers implement the curriculum in their classrooms through lesson planning.

Users can sign in to Atlas with MS Azure Credentials.

• Atlas users can log in with their ManageBac credential.
• ManageBac users with Atlas accounts can move seamlessly between the two products.
• Classes in ManageBac are pre-associated with Atlas Curriculum Maps, allowing units from the maps to appear in ManageBac.
• The units can be edited directly in ManageBac within an iframe.

Read more about the integration here.

Users of both Atlas and ManageBac can now log in to Atlas using their ManageBac credentials.

Admins can design lesson plan templates for any teacher to access and create new lessons!

• Up to eight active admin-created templates are supported per site.
• Unlimited number of draft templates are supported. Draft templates are marked “inactive”.
• Our new Rich Text Editing tool supports tables to include in lesson templates.
• Admin-managed templates are prefixed with a school house icon so it’s easy for teachers to distinguish them from their own templates.

Some users have not logged into your Atlas site since 2016. To make your site more secure and user-management easier, we have dormant users visible. If any of these users need access to Atlas again, simply click on “Activate Account”, and a confirmation email will go to the users, allowing them to regain access.

All pie and bar charts in Atlas are updated to use Hichart, making visualization of your curriculum data clear, colorful, and concise.

The enhanced text editor in Atlas allows for new functionality in all text fields:

• Add tables
• Embed active links
• Embed images and videos
• Resize embedded images
• Change color of text and highlight text
• Select from floating text editor as you scroll

• Share your lessons to your Google Class
• Click “View” on any of your lessons, then use the “Share to Google Classroom.”

• Each user can create and manage their own Lesson Templates (up to 8).

• Any collaborator of a unit can create lessons associated with the unit.
• Collaborators can see details of their own lessons, as well as other collaborators’ lessons. Non-collaborators can only see lesson titles.
• Lessons can align to standards with easy access to unit-targeted standards.
• Lessons can have attachments.
• Lessons can be deleted. (And will later show up in the recycle bin when it’s in place).
• Owner can re-sort lessons.
• Lessons can be printed to PDF.

You get to decide which color you want the unit to be! Use this great feature to clearly categorize the units in a course.
