Using the Internalization Tab

The Lesson Log is available only if your district has purchased the Texas OER Math or RLA Companion.

The Internalization tab is where you log the prep you do before you teach: working through the curriculum, analyzing exemplars and planning your scaffolds, on your own or with an instructional coach during your HB 1605 protected prep time.

It’s worth the few minutes. Internalization logs document your prep for the LIFT grant, and the supports you pick here carry over to the Planned column of your daily lesson logs.

Open an internalization log

1. Open the Internalization tab. Each course has its own section.
2. Click the green + next to the unit of work you’re preparing. For Math, log by Module, or expand a Module to log each Topic. For RLA, log by Unit.

A blue check means that log is submitted.

Complete the log

• Category 1: Collaboration & Pacing Setup: whether you worked independently or with an instructional coach, and confirm your instructional window matches the district’s recommended pacing guide.
• Category 2: Exemplar Analysis & Task Mapping: confirm your prep steps: Exemplar Execution, Standard-to-Task Mapping and Misconception & Friction Mapping.
• Category 3: LIFT Grant Accommodations & Scaffold Mapping: pick the Research-Based Instructional Strategies (RBIS) you’ll use, under SPED Supports and Emergent Bilingual (EB) Supports. These become the Planned supports in your daily lesson logs, so you don’t re-enter them each day.
• Coaching Support: whether you need support from your coach or an administrator.
• Publisher Material Adaptation Note: optionally, note lessons where your campus data means you’ll supplement or adapt the publisher’s core tasks.

Reading and Foundation Skills (Grades K–3)

For RLA in Grades K–3, you complete two internalization logs per unit, one for Reading and one for Foundation Skills.

Tailored to your course

The Math, Reading and Foundation Skills logs are each tuned to that course, so the prep steps and supports match what you’re planning.
