Implementation Guides
Overview of feature
Newsela’s implementation guides provide a step-by-step guide and central location for all the resources you need for a successful implementation.
Who can access it?
This in-product feature is available to all of our Newsela district customers.
In each district one person is designated as an implementation coordinator. They have the permission in Newsela to edit or revise the implementation guide. We recommend having only one person take on this role to ensure consistency. If you’d like to add an additional person to this role, please let us know here.
Where can I access it?
The Implementation guide is accessible in the admin console. For other leaders and educators in the district, contact your implementation coordinator and request a PDF copy of the implementation guide
