How do I assign, or manage class and individual assignments?

  • Updated

Teachers can assign specific Objectives from any grade level to their classes or individual students. 

Students automatically have access to their assigned grade-level Objectives in the Journey. However, teachers can make additional assignments to supplement the Journey with content from other grade levels or surface content that teachers want students to work on right now. If assignments are provided to students, teachers will need to guide students on when to play their Journey or Assignments content.

When a Class Assignment is set, only students who have not yet completed that content will be prompted to play it. Individual Assignments will let a student replay an Objective even if they completed it previously.

Assignments allow you to:

  • Assign Objectives from any grade level to the entire class or individual students.
  • Reorder Objectives in students’ Assignments.
  • View progress on assigned Objectives.

Why you might want to use Assignments:

  • Class Assignments:
    • All students play the same Objective when introducing, teaching, or reviewing a concept
    • Whole class access to additional, prior, or post-grade level content
  • Individual Assignments:
    • Provide individual students with remediation or enrichment
    • Scaffold content for students who may not be ready for grade-level concepts and
      skills

How to allow Student Choice:

By default, students will play the Objectives in the order you set, beginning with the first listed Objective. Enabling student choice allows students to play whichever assigned Objective they would like to play.
