The document provides instructions for using the Curriculum Manager tool in Schoolnet to create and manage curricula and associated instructional resources. Key points include: 1) The Curriculum Manager allows users to create curricula and curricular units, link instructional resources like lesson plans and assessments, and import curriculum materials such as pacing guides and standards documents. 2) A curriculum hierarchy is established with curricula at the top level encompassing entire courses, broken into curricular units like grading periods, which contain instructional units and lesson plans. 3) Users can search for, create, edit and publish new curricula, curricular units, and instructional units as well as link associated instruction
