   Note: When a teacher moves from one school to another, they can choose their lesson plans from the previous school in the previous year to the new school in the new year. The user will see the lessons in the list.

4. Click Next to move to the next screen or click Back to go to the previous window to select a different year and section.
5. In the Copy Lesson window, the lesson that was selected to copy will be listed.
   • Check Create lesson per day only if a lesson is taught more than one day and each day is considered an independent lesson plan.
     • For example: A history teacher is covering Julius Caesar. The lesson will last a week, but each day is a different topic about Julius Caesar. So the teacher copies a lesson plan about Julius Caesar from a previous class and/or year and, by using this feature, creates individual lessons per day over the course of the week, making minor adjustments to each day.
