Sharing and cloning lesson plans on Kurasa helps teachers collaborate, save time, and avoid repeating work while maintaining clear ownership and CBC accountability. Teachers can share lesson plans to exchange ideas and clone lesson plans to reuse content for their own classes.
This article explains how to share a lesson plan with another teacher and how to clone a lesson plan for reuse.
Before You Begin #
To share or clone a lesson plan:
- You must be logged into your Kurasa workspace
- You must have already created or received a lesson plan
- Teachers you share with must belong to the same workspace
All actions are done from the Lesson Plans section.
