Q. How do I add Standards to my class?
A. To incorporate Standards-Based Grading, you must choose a set of Standards to be tracked in your class. Here's how!
- Click on the Manage Class drop-down menu.
- Select Standards from the menu. This should display a list of any standards you already track in your class.
- Click the Select Standards button to get started! The menu will present a list of any Personal or Domain standards you have access to use.
-
Select any standards you would like to be able to grade in your class by hitting the Add button next to the each Standard.
- Don't see any Standards? Speak with your Domain Administrator for Domain Standards, select Create Standard to create Personal standards, or read more on what standards to use in your class.
- Once you are done, you can close the window or hit the Back button, and your standards will appear in your Standards-Based Gradebook.
Hint: Now when you create any new gradeable item (whether it's a Discussion, Assessment, Assignment, Wikiproject, or Activity) you can click within the field titled Related Standards and these standards will be available for you to use. Be sure to check out our article about How can I associate standards with Assignments, Assesments, Discussions, etc in a class!
