How can I set up District Guidance?

This article is for district admins on the Intelligence Plan.

Admins can set guidance for Brisk at the district level in District Guidance in the Admin Portal.

1. Go to District Guidance
   • From the Admin Portal, use the left nav menu to click District Guidance.
   • From the extension, click the three dots > click Site Dashboard > use the left nav menu to click District Guidance.
     
     
     
      
2. Fill in the relevant categories — Enter text in any combination of the four sections:
    
   • District/School Priorities — your district's strategic focus areas (e.g., literacy across content areas, equity commitments)
      
   • Values & Frameworks — instructional frameworks your district uses (e.g., gradual release, Workshop Model, Portrait of a Graduate)
      
   • Pedagogical Approach — lesson structures, routines, or models teachers are expected to follow
      
   • Standards Emphasis — power standards or assessment alignment requirements (e.g., alignment to a specific state test)
     
     
      

You don't need to fill in all four. Empty sections are ignored.

3. Save — Click Save Changes. 

Brisk will now apply your guidance to all content generated across your district going forward, including resources created in Brisk, Boost Activities, and Next.
