With the Skills feature, you can keep track of what skills or standards your students are working towards. Additionally, you can assign a star rating based on a 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-star scale to get a real-time understanding of how students are progressing.
To manage, archive, and export skills, check out the instructions below! Learn more about using the Skills View in the Progress tab.
Skills are shared across all of your classes. You only need to add Skills once, and then you can use them across any class that you are a teacher on.
We only display Skills that have been tagged with a class' designated grade level. For example, teachers for Kindergarten classes can only see Kindergarten Skills.
If you’d like your Skills to be displayed for classes in multiple grades, change your Skills to be available to 'All' grades.
