Posting Weekly Summaries
In ProgressBook, the terminology is a little different than you might be use to. They have a feature which is called Lessons for posting Lesson Plans that would be perfect for indicating your weekly plans for you class, including a way to easily show what state standards you are covering. However, information posted in the Lessons area are not available to the public/parents, only other staff members. This means you will need to post weekly "lesson plan summaries" using ProgressBook's Homework feature. In ProgressBook, Homework is a message, not graded entry in your grade book. ProgressBook calls anything that you take a grade for an Assignment.
Here is the summary of this confusing topic:
PB's Lessons - Not using until they can be seen by parents
PB's Homework - A messaging tool to parents that we will post weekly plans
PB's Assignments - Anything that you take a grade for and score in your grade book
