How to build the District Library (Admins)

This article is for district admins and teachers on the Intelligence Plan.

District Library is a browsable, curriculum-aligned shelf where admins publish lesson bundles and teachers copy them into their own workspace.

Your district's curriculum must be uploaded with a scope & sequence before you can use the District Library.

Use these steps to build and publish resources in your District Library:

1. Go to Curriculum — In the Admin Portal, use the left navigation and click Curriculum
   
   
2. Click into a course — Choose the course you want to publish materials for
    
3. Click Library — Each course may have multiple tabs: Scope and Sequence, Files, Library, and Guidance. Click Library. The scope & sequence tree (Modules → Units → Lessons) appears on the left.
   
   
   
    
4. Click a lesson to open its bundle — Select any lesson from the tree to see the current bundle resources and recommended additions.
   
   
    
5. Add resources to the lesson bundle — Click + Add Resource to create a Boost activity, upload a file from your computer or drive, add a link.
   
   
    
6. You can also add items from Recommended Additions — Brisk surfaces suggestions like "More ways to teach this" or "For students ready for a challenge." Click + on any card to include it.
    
7. Edit or reorder the bundle — You can rename, reorder, or remove any resource.
    
8. Publish the course — Courses start as drafts and are invisible to teachers. When the library is ready, click Publish to make it available. Click Unpublish to make a course unavailable. 
    
9. Edit Course Details — You can click Edit > Edit Course Details to adjust the Course Name, Grade Level, and Subject.
    

How to use the District Library (Teachers)

2. Select a course — Click a course tile to open it.
    
3. Browse by lesson — Use the folder tree on the left to navigate the modules, units, lessons that your admins have published.
   
   
    
4. Copy to My Library — Click into a lesson and click + Copy to My Library on any bundle. This saves a complete, independent copy — including all files and activities — to your workspace.You can find the copied materials in My Library.
   
   
    
5. Add Resource — Click + Add Resource to add another file to the bundle
    
6. Set student visibility — All resources are hidden from your students by default after copying. Toggle each resource visible before sharing it with your class.
    

Your copies are independent. If your district updates a published bundle, your copy will not automatically update.

You can edit your copies. Anything you copy from the District Library can be modified in your own workspace without affecting the district’s original version.
