Understanding the Report Layout

What can I see on the Assignment Overview?

The report shows up to two current assignments for each student. For each assignment, teachers can see:

  • The standard, curriculum module, or assessment framework associated with the assignment, but it will not show the alignments of each lesson students play as part of the assignment. 
  • If a student has started playing lessons that are part of the assignment.
  • Each student's proficiency within an In Progress assignment.  

Any student who has not been given two assignments will show either one or two Add Assignments buttons.
