A Unit Plan Template is designed as a guide for Educators, describing the pedagogical methodologies used when creating unit plans within a Course. When educators create their Unit Plans and Lessons, they will be able to select the pedagogical concepts prescribed in the Unit Plan Template that apply to their content.
Note: You can create a Unit Plan Template at the Segment or Course level.
- Segment level: Describes pedagogy used for all Courses within the Segment.
- Course level: Describes pedagogy used for the specific Course only.
Thus, any Unit Plan Templates specified in a Segment will automatically override the ones applied to any Courses within the Segment.
