From the Settings tabs in the educator dashboard, DreamBox Math administrators can activate Launchpad, select which assessment framework or print program teachers see in DreamBox Math Assignments, add and update educators' roles, upload rosters and adjust classroom rosters, and create custom groups. This article provides an overview of each tab with links to instructions and additional information.
Settings Tabs Basics
What can administrators always view and update from the Settings tabs?
- Adjust settings not associated with rosters, like selecting which print program or assessment will be available when teachers create assignments at the district or school level.
- Create custom student groups across classrooms and schools and see the usage and growth data for these student groups.
Can some administrator settings options be locked for administrators?
Yes. District IT teams that update rosters using Clever or ClassLink often turn off the ability for administrators to:
- Create or update educators in the Educators tab.
- Create classrooms, students, and staff members by uploading Student and Educator spreadsheets
- Update classroom rosters through the dashboard Bulk Move/Copy tool.
Why would a district do this?
When an administrator updates students, educators, or classroom rosters separately from their district IT team it can affect students' and educators' access to DreamBox Math.
