SITE ACCESS: Tools > My Content > My Plans
If you are generating a new plan, please refer to the Create 5E Model Plans support guide for the initial creation steps.
If you are updating an existing plan, use the search filters on the My Plans page to locate the desired 5E Model plan and select the Edit link next to the Options button.
Scroll to the Instructional Procedures section toward the bottom of the page, click the Create New button to reveal the drop-down menu for the plan phases, and select the desired option (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, or Evaluate).
Click on the column header (ex. Engage) to open the text editor box.
If desired, update the appropriate plan phase header and click the Save button
Hover your cursor over the cell below the desired column header to highlight it and click on it to open the text editor box.
Enter the steps for that phase of the plan in the text edit box and click the Save button when you are done.
Click on the Add From My Favorites icon in the toolbar to select files from your My Favorites section or the District Resources Manager (schoolhouse) icon to select files shared by your district.

Repeat the steps above until each phase of the plan is complete. For example, Days 2 and 3 of the plan are added by clicking the Create New button and selecting the next phase of the plan (i.e., Explore).
When all phases, or days, of the plan have been entered, click on the Revised Date field at the bottom of the page and enter the current date. If this is a shared plan, it is ideal to enter the name or initials of the person who last updated the page.
This date will appear in the lower, right corner when you Preview the plan page, indicating when the plan was last updated.
After entering the Instructional Procedures and Revised Date, click the Save button along the top menu bar to confirm your selections and content entered thus far. To view what the plan will look like at this point in time, click the Preview button.
Once plans have been completed, they can either be shared with colleagues within your district or submitted to an administrator for review.
