Standards based Grading

3.png Audience: Teachers with School and District subscriptions

Skills are transitioning to Sitewide Standards
In June 2024, all premium school and district customers were transitioned to Sitewide Standards. Teachers can download and export existing Skills before December 2024. Seesaw Plus (legacy) customers can continue using Skills and download data until December 2024. 💡 Learn more about Sitewide Standards!

As teachers review student work, they'll have the ability to grade standards. This data is rolled up for their class and viewable on the Progress Dashboard which can be used to monitor progress across standards at the class level or the student level.
New to Standards? Get started with our Standards overview!

Feature Overview
  • Seesaw recommends grading when you are approving work to save time. 
  • Students and family members don't see the tagged standards or the rating. 
  • Standards and grading are visible to teachers and Admins only. 
  • Track student progress from the Standards View on the Progress Dashboard.
