Class Standards

Your state may have adopted specific educational standards that you are required to utilize. Grade Book enables you to associate assignments with specific academic standards, as well as calculate final grades and analyze student performance based on those standards. Your districts can create their standards, and tie them to specific district courses. As a teacher, you can also create your own class standards (objectives.)

When using a standards mode Grade Book, a student’s overall grade can either be determined from traditional assignment data or from standards data. When determining a student’s overall grade from standards data, Grade Book first determines the student’s overall proficiency on each standard assessed.

In order to use academic standards within Grade Book, your district must either load their standards into Grade Book or associate their academic standards to specific courses within Synergy SIS.

You can select which district created standards are available on the Standards Correlations tab when creating a new assignment. This option enables you to see only the standards that you use most frequently, rather than all the district’s standards.

Click Load Standards from Course Alignment to load standards aligned to District Course within Synergy SIS.

Click Add from District Standards Bank to load additional standards from the Standards Bank. The Standards chooser opens.
Use Search to locate standards by code or text match or use the links to find specific standards by content area. Click the standard text to add the standard to the class.

Click Done when all standards have been selected.
