How to Utilize Course Manager to Guide Ed Plans as an Administrator

What is Course Manager?
Course Manager allows district administrators and local administrators to upload course libraries for students to use in the creation of education plans as part of their career-focused exercises in Navigator.

Where do I set up Course Manager?
Course Manager can be setup by navigating to the Configure Student Plans on left-hand menu and selecting Course Manager on Kuder Navigator - Admins. District Administrators and Local Administrators are the only roles with access to configure course manager.

Note: This feature is not available for districts that receive their courses from the state.

Steps to Set Up Course Manager:

On the left-hand navigation select Configure Student Plans
Select Course Manager
Select your District or School
