5. Choose an Educational Need Area from the dropdown.

6. The Content Area can be typed manually. 

7. The next three checkboxes are additional areas where this Instructional Plan might apply.

8. Choose a related course from the dropdown. There are too many options to merit a list in this help guide. However, typing the first letter of the course in the field will automatically move the option to that letter of the alphabet, and then opening the dropdown will present courses that start with that letter.

9. The next two textboxes are for narratives about achievements and goals. 

   • Text boxes throughout eSER have limitations on word count. Depending on the section or text box, the limit is between 2,000 and 8,000 words. If you experience problems, please contact system support. 

   • The narratives can be edited by clicking the pencil icon at the right of each text box. Enter the narrative in the resulting popup, then click Save to commit and return to the subsection.

   • The small box at the bottom right of each text box contains three tiny diagonal lines. Clicking and holding on these lines allows the box to be dragged to a larger size. This modification may make it easier when typing longer narratives.
