Districts can use checklists to provide a list of trackable items for teachers to check off when creating lessons. You can create multiple checklists to track things like technology, strategies, instructional tools, lesson structure, or other items used in the lesson. Both teachers and administrators can run reports on these checklists to determine what is being used often, what is being overlooked, and so on.
To access the checklists, on the Manage tab, select Forethought Options and then select the Lesson Checklists tab..png)
