Rate students on an assignment's standards
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 6 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to rate students on an assignment's standards
- 1Open the class from Classes, then click Gradebook — a class that grades on a standards scale shows a Mastery pill beside it
- 2Open the list of assignments above the grid (the "{N} assignments" row)
- 3Click Rate on an assignment that has standards tagged — only tagged assignments in a standards-scale class get the button
- 4In the "Rate standards" dialog, pick a level from the class's scale for each student on each standard — leave "—" for not assessed
- 5Click Save ratings
- 6Click the Mastery pill in the gradebook header — the newest rating becomes each student's current level, and a dash stays a dash
Part of Standards-based grading & mastery
