Canvas is the platform that NISD uses to house Curriculum, deliver PD Courses (such as this one!), and is the required Learning Management System for Secondary. Canvas is accessible in the Portal.

Directions:

To access your curriculum, look for the NISD Curriculum icon within the Staff Portal to enroll in this one-stop-shop course. Curriculum is for STAFF ONLY, so this course or any of the embedded courses should never be shared with students.

Once enrolled, use the buttons on the home page to navigate to and enroll in your course-specific curriculum.

Additional info:

Enroll in as many curriculum courses as pertain to your role. Courses in Canvas cannot be viewed until you enroll in them.
If you unsure of your exact teaching assignment for next year, enroll in at least one course (ex. something in middle school science) even if you don't yet know grade-level specifics. You can unenroll from a curriculum course at a later date, if needed, and will remain in the NISD Curriculum one-stop-shop course in order to enroll in another curriculum as details get specified.
Administrators: If you are an administrator, enroll in at least one curriculum course for the T-TESS category that you will be supporting for your campus. While you are able to enroll in any and all curriculum courses, you are encouraged to enroll in at least 1 to be familiar with the contents your teachers have access to such as scope and sequence documents, assessments calendars, instructional expectations, etc.
SPED Inclusion Teachers: Enroll in the Gen Ed curriculum courses for the content that you will be supporting.

All courses that you are enrolled in will be housed on your Canvas Dashboard located within the left navigation bar.
