Record what each child in the class can do
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 record what each child in the class can do
- 1Click Learning then Classes in the sidebar and open the class
- 2Click More, then Skills
- 3Find the child's row and the skill's column
- 4Click the cell to cycle it: blank not yet, then working on it, then has it
- 5Read the In hand column for how many of the class's skills that child holds
- 6A lock marks a skill that has to be solid before moving on — it stops her curriculum until she has it (set with "Has to be solid before moving on" where the skill is written, under Academics)
Part of Standards-based grading & mastery
