Assessment Framework FAQs

Q: If I set the assessment framework for my entire school or district, can teachers select a different assessment framework?

A: Yes. Teachers can select an alternate assessment framework from their Class Settings tab. 

 

Q: I am having trouble selecting an assessment framework in Assignments - it is grayed out. 

A: This is likely due to your DreamBox Math administrator selecting an assessment framework at the district or school level.  To update the options you see when creating an assignment, open your Class Settings tab and select a different assessment framework.
