How to Set a Goal
Who can do this with default user permissions?
District administrators, school administrators, teachers
District administrators can set goals for any class, group, or students in any school. School administrators can set goals for any class, group, or students in their school. Teachers can set goals for one of their own classes or groups, and any of their students. Other staff cannot view or set goals unless they have been granted more permissions.
Follow these steps:
- On the Set a Goal page, use the School and Students drop-down lists to choose which students to set the goal for.
- You can only choose a single school or class at a time; if you only have access to a single school or class, you will not need to make a selection.
- To select a specific class, group, or students at the chosen school, use the links below the Students drop-down list. Selecting one of these links will open a corresponding pop-up window; in that window, enter search criteria in the field at the top of the window to find a specific class, group, or students with names that include the criteria you enter (in the "Select Students" pop-up window, district- and school-level users can also select a grade to narrow down the list of students). Once you've searched, select the class, group, or students you want (for students, you can check the Students box at the top of the list to select all the available choices).
- You can only set Star goals for classes that have at least one of the following products assigned: Star Early Literacy, Star Early Literacy Spanish, Star Math, Star Math Spanish, Star Reading, and/or Star Reading Spanish.
- To set reading practice goals for the quizzes that students take in Accelerated Reader, see Accelerated Reader Goals (Record Book). To set reading certification goals, see Accelerated Reader Certifications (Record Book).
- Next, after "Type of goal," use the first drop-down list to choose the goal category: Reading, Reading Spanish, Math, or Math Spanish.
- Use the second drop-down list to choose the type of goal that you want to set.
