Reading Plus Educator Dashboard: How to Adjust Class Assignment Settings

By default, students' weekly assignment schedules are based on each students' initial assessment results. This means students in the same class will be given assignments on varied schedules with varied time requirements. Teachers can also choose to set the same number of weekly assignments for students. This article walks through how to adjust assignment settings for all students in a class.
