Teachers can tag (add) Standards to Activities and student posts to align student work with learning goals and track student progress.
Standards are set at the district level by district Administrators. Teachers cannot create Standards, but they can review, add, and remove Standards from Activities and tag Standards to Activities and student posts. Once Standards are tagged, you can use them to assess student work and track progress in the Gradebook.

Important: Standards are associated with the grade level selected when you add them. If you assign the Activity to a class in a different grade level, you'll need to add the Standards again during the assign flow.
Teachers can add a maximum of 10 Standards per Activity or Student Post.
