How do I look at a specific class?

In the Set Up menu option, the Classes & Student Rosters page allows you to hone in on a specific class and provides an overview of details for each of your classes including: the class name and section, grade level, and the teachers or admin associated with the class. The Classes & Student Rosters page will allow the class owner to edit class details, add or remove student users from the class, and add teachers to the class.

When searching for a class, you have the option of using the drop-down feature or entering a keyword in the search engine. If the class does not exist, the class owner can create the class by selecting “Create a Class” and inputting the following class details: class name, unique class section, and selecting the class grade and site from the dropdown menu option.

After creating, as the class owner, the class you will have the option to edit class details at any time.

How do I access Units or Skills?

The Plan menu option on the teacher homepage provides information to support unit planning, lesson planning, and curriculum alignment. The Plan tab allows teachers to explore Roadmaps by Unit or Skills.

To get started with Units, teachers must choose a Roadmap and Unit from the dropdown menus. Unit pages show you an overview of content within a single Unit, organized into three main types of skills:

• Target Skills are the target or goal of that unit. These are the primary skills that contribute to the goal of the unit and are arranged in order of difficulty.
• Support Skills are the predecessors for the target skills. Completing these skills will increase student readiness to engage with the target skills.
• Extension Skills are related to the Target Skills but are not included in the unit progress goal. They apply and reinforce understanding of the unit’s target skills.

The Skills page is where you can choose a single skill and view its resources. You can use the search bar to find a specific skill. Click on the drop-down arrow to view more information about the skill resources. For all of the information regarding this specific skill, click View.  

How do I Monitor Student Progress? 

To view students' progress, select Monitor from the menu option. This option will allow you to explore data through different reports and views, which include:

• Assessment History: This page provides an assessment snapshot and details on students’ skill assessment history and diagnostic history.
• Progress
• Reports Hub 
• Assignments
