Having insight into a student's performance in each class is crucial to ensuring that each student has the support needed to succeed. The assessments and standards views provide a snapshot of your class's performance and allow you to drill down into the details of each student's assessment performance, standard performance, and missing work.
❗️Based on your district settings, your standards view may be on the left. In addition, not all districts choose to enable the assessments view. In that case, only the standards view will be visible.
