The LMS Workbook for K-12 Leaders
Picking a learning management system (LMS) feels like a tech decision. We'd argue it's an instructional one. As a K-12 leader, you balance equity, teacher time, and student achievement across every school in your district. The wrong platform makes all three harder.
This workbook helps you choose an LMS for your K-12 district through a clear, hands-on process that includes self-assessment checklists, evaluation criteria, and planning prompts. Work through it, and you'll know what your teachers and learners need before you commit.

What's inside the workbook.
The workbook breaks a big decision into manageable steps, moving from examining where you are today to the practices that separate a full-fledged platform that helps your teachers meet every student from a free stand-in.
- Set your baseline with a self-assessment checklist that shows where your current setup delivers and where it falls short on curriculum or instruction.
- Guarantee your curriculum with frameworks that help you lock down high-quality templates and track student participation across schools.
- Scale instructional best practices like differentiated curriculum and standards-aligned formative assessment that gives teachers real-time data.
- Ensure interoperability with a K-12 LMS evaluation checklist that walks you through vendor vetting and LMS interoperability standards, so your tools work together rather than against each other.
Built on openness, Canvas by Instructure connects your entire edtech ecosystem, so the platform you choose supports teachers and learners now and as their needs change.
