How to Use Courses & Study Packs

Note: Courses & Study Packs are only available via our new Lesson Planner format.

Courses & Study Packs are bundles of lessons in a suggested sequence related by theme, skill, or target structure. Each pack focuses on a specific proficiency level and usually has 4–6 lessons. Courses are more comprehensive and may include assessment. You can assign students access to all of the content at once or release items one at a time.
