Resource Manager is a powerful tool for lesson planning and development. You can use it to search for or build your own lessons, assignments, and screens.
Resource Manager is divided into three main sections:
- Search and Filter
- Topic Index and Resource Sets
- Resource Folders
Topic Index / Resource Sets #
You can browse the tabs on the left-hand side of the screen. This is a complete library of Quaver content.
The Topic Index shows the major lesson themes or topics throughout QuaverMusic.

Below these, you’ll find additional topics covering common teaching styles or classroom needs, such as assessments, projects, or specific cross-curricular subjects.

The Resource Sets correlate to the Supplemental Resources found on the Teacher Dashboard. This section will show you the resources available in each of these
