What Does it Mean to Choose District Standards?
From within a district's Main Admin account, you have the ability to determine which standards teachers can use for assessment creation and viewing grades in the gradebook.
Below is an image from within a teacher's account when adding standards to an assessment. The Main Admin account can choose which groups of standards appear in this list.
How to Select District Standards
Step 1: Navigate to the Control Center from within the district's Main Admin account.
Step 2: You will be taken to the Grading page by default. Select Standards Settings.
Step 3: Standards that are checked are available to teachers. Uncheck any box to make that group of standards unavailable to teachers.
💡 Tip: Communicate with teachers on the expectations for the group(s) of standards they should be accessing; Custom, State, and CCSS standards can sometimes be identical. See example below:
Consider this standard: "Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction". This standard can be found in two places (one is Common Core, one is a State Standard), and they have almost identical names. If the teacher uses both the Common Core standard and the State Standard on their assessments, the data will not combine, as they are two different standards in the system. This will result in two different columns in the standards gradebook view.
