Track Student Work Dashboard

The Lesson Plans will have the name they were given when you created assignments; a few plans may be named "Lesson Plan" or named after a module in an aligned pacing guide that you are using in Planner. Each time that you create assignments, you can choose whether to add them to the existing plan or to create a new plan. If you have more than one plan with the same name, use the Start Date to identify the plan that you want to work with.

For each plan, you will see who it is assigned to (the class or a group) and the number of activities that have each of the following statuses:

• Upcoming: The activity (assignment, assessment, or resource) is in the plan, but it has not yet been put in the Assignments List on the student's Home page. When you created the plan, you chose the dates for each activity; these are the activities whose scheduled dates are in the future.
• Ready: The activity now appears in the students' Assignment list, but students haven't started working on it yet.
• Started: Students have started the activities, but they haven't yet finished them.
• Needs Scoring: Students have finished and submitted the activities, but they haven't yet been scored by the teacher. Some activities are scored automatically by the software. Others require teacher scoring.
• Scored: Students have finished the activities and they have been scored. If you click the number in this column, you can select Results to see scores for the assignments.
  

If you click the arrow next to one of these Lesson Plans, you can see the students that the plan was created for, and you can click the number in the Scored column and the Results link to view scores for a student.

If you select a student's name, you can see the student's status for all work, including work in this Lesson Plan. If the activity is Complete or Submitted, in some cases you can select the status for more options (such as reviewing results or scoring an activity).

If you select a Lesson Plan instead, you will see the activities (assignments, assessments, and resources) that are part of the plan. When you view the assignments, you can select the arrow to list the students, just as you could at the Lesson Plan level. If you click the number in the Scored column for an assignment or student, you can choose whether to view Performance Across Skills, Performance Across Item Types, Item Responses (if available), or Mastery. You may also be able to deactivate the assignment so that it is not included in reports or goals. (If you click the student's name, you can see the student's status for the assignments and scores for complete assignments.)

If you click the assignment name, you can then see the date of each student's last action and each student's score (if the assignment is complete and scorable) or status (if the assignment does not require a score). You may see additional columns for assignments from Accelerated Reader Instructional Reading.

If you click the student's name, you can see all of the student's work. For assignments in this plan, you can see the date of the student's work on the assignment, the status, and the score if the work is complete.

If you click a score while viewing the student or assignment information, you may be able to review and/or rescore assignments or request that an assignment be resubmitted (depending on the type of assignment). You can also choose whether to view Performance Across Skills, Performance Across Item Types, Item Responses (if available), or Mastery.

Most assignment plans have the name they were given when the assignments were created. Some plans may be named "AR 360 Instructional Practice Plan." Assignments that you created by browsing on the Find Content page are in separate plans from those that you created by finding assignments by skill. The start date can help you identify a plan. (Some plans are only shown if you choose the school year as the time period.)

Whenever you create new assignments, you decide whether to add them to the previous plan or to create and name a new plan. However, note that when you assign Featured articles, and when students read articles on their own and take quizzes, those assignments are added to the "AR 360 Instructional Practice Plan."

For each plan, you will see who it is assigned to (the class or a group) and the number of activities that have each of the following statuses:

• Upcoming: The assignment has not yet been put in the Assignments List on the student's Home page. This may happen when you use the Find Articles by Skill and Plan Instruction method to create assignments. When you created the assignments, you chose the dates for each article assignment; these are the activities whose scheduled dates are in the future.
• Ready: The assignment now appears in the students' Assignment list, but students haven't started working on it yet.
• Started: Students have started the activities, but they haven't yet finished them.
• Needs Scoring: Students have finished and submitted the activities, but they haven't yet been scored by the teacher. Quizzes for assignments are scored automatically by the software, but teachers must score the skills practice portion of the assignment.
• Scored: Students have finished the activities and they have been scored. If you click the number in this column, you can select Results to see the scores for the assignments.
  

If you click the arrow next to the AR 360 plan, you can see the students that the plan was created for (for assigned work) or the students who have read articles and taken quizzes on their own (in the AR 360 Instructional Practice Plan). You can click the number in the Scored column, then Results to see scores for a student.

If you select a student's name, you can see the student's status for all of the student's work, including work in this plan. In the example below, Marcos has finished and submitted his skills practice work for Girl Up Helps Girls Around the World; this work is ready to be scored but has not been scored. You can select Submitted and choose to score the skills practice activity. Marcos has also taken a quiz on that article; you can select Complete to choose to review or rescore the assignment or request that it be resubmitted, or you can see performance across skills or item types or mastery for the skill. Marcos has not started to work on The Swallows Dazzle on the Connecticut River; the skills practice assignment is Ready, and the quiz is Pending because it is taken after the skills practice assignment is done.

If you select the AR360 plan instead of expanding it, you will see the assignments that are part of the plan. When you view the assignments, you can select the arrow to list the students, just as you could at the plan level. If you click the number in the Scored column for an assignment or student, you can choose whether to view Performance Across Skills, Performance Across Item Types, Item Responses, or Mastery; you can also deactivate the student's assignment if you don't want it to appear on reports or to count toward goals. (Note that a mastery score is not available for assignments that focus on a skill that is not in the learning progression. The district administrator sets the Learning Standards that are used.)

If you click the student's name, you can see the student's status for the assignments and scores for complete assignments.

If you click the assignment name, you can then see the date of each student's last action and each student's score (if the assignment is complete). For skills practice, if the status is Submitted, you can select it and select Score Activity to score the work.

If you click a Skills Practice score, the first option in the menu is Review/Rescore/Resubmit, which lets you see the student responses and scores again, rescore them if necessary, or ask the student to work on the assignment more and resubmit it.

If you click the student's name, you can see the date of the student's work on the assignment, the status, and the score if the work is complete. You can review results for Complete activity or select Submitted to score skills practice work that the student has submitted.

For Star Custom assessments, you will see lesson plans like the one shown below. Most plans will have the name they were given when the assessment were assigned. Some may be named "Star Custom Assessment Plan". When you assign assessments, you decide when to create a new plan and when to add assignments to an existing plan. The start date will help you identify each plan.

For each plan, you will see who it is assigned to (the class or a group) and the number of activities that have each of the following statuses:

• Upcoming: The assigned assessments are in the plan, but they have not yet been put in the Assignments List on the student's Home page. When you created the plan, you chose the dates for each assessment; these are the assessments whose scheduled dates are in the future.
• Ready: The assessments now appear in the students' Assignment list, but students haven't started working on them yet.
• Started: Students have started working on assessments, but they haven't yet finished them.
• Needs Scoring: Students have finished and submitted the assessments, but they haven't yet been scored.
• Scored: Students have finished the assessments, which have been scored. If you click the number in this column, you can select Results to see scores for the assignments.
  

If you click the arrow next to one of these Lesson Plans, you can see the students that the plan was created for, and you can click the number in the Scored column, then Results to view scores for a student.

If you select a student's name, you can see the student's status for all work, including work in this plan. For Complete work, you can select the status to review/rescore assessments, view performance across skills or item types, view item responses, or view mastery.

If you select a Lesson Plan instead, you will see the assessments that are part of the plan. When you view the assessments, you can select the arrow to list the students, just as you could at the Lesson Plan level. If you click the number in the Scored column for an assessment or student, you can choose whether to view Performance Across Skills, Performance Across Item Types, Item Responses, or Mastery; if you select a student's number, you can also deactivate the student's assignment if you don't want it to appear in reports or to count toward goals. (If you click the student's name, you can see the student's status for the assessments and scores for complete assignments.)

If you click the assessment name, you can then see the date of each student's last action and each student's score. If you click the score, you can choose whether to review or rescore the assessment or to view performance across skills or item types, item responses, or mastery information.

Sometimes, you may also see one of the following messages instead of a score:

• In Progress may mean the student is currently taking the test; it may also mean that the test window was closed or the browser experienced an error while the test was in progress.
• Suspend means the student chose to stop the test.
• Needs Approval may be shown if the end date has passed and the test was not completed. The student cannot take the test unless the end date is extended.

If you click the student's name, you can see the date of the student's work on the assessment, the status, and the score if the work is complete.

Star test information is shown in a plan titled Star Ad-Hoc Lesson. You will see a separate plan for each type of Star test, and Spanish tests will be in separate plans from English tests.

The table will show the plan and who it was assigned to (always the whole class for these plans). Since Star tests are not assigned and are taken as needed, the Upcoming and Ready columns will have no values for Star tests. The Started column will show you the number of unfinished Star tests. Since Star tests are scored automatically, the Needs Scoring column will also be empty, but the Scored column will show you how many tests have been taken by the selected class.

If you click the arrow next to one of these plans, you can see the students who have taken Star tests for the selected class. If you want to see test scores, click the number of scored tests for either the plan or a student; then, select Results.

If you select a student's name, you can see a list of all of the student's work, including the status of the tests the student has taken. In the example below, Camila has completed two Star Reading Spanish Enterprise Assessments.

If you select a plan instead of expanding it, you will see the tests that students completed. You can select the arrow to list the students and to see their most recent scores and the number of Scored tests for each student. If you click the number in the Scored column for the test or a student, you can choose Mastery to go to the Monitor Student Mastery view to see domain scores. If there is only one test, Administrators can also select Deactivate for the student's test so that it will not be included in reports or calculations for the student (except for SGP calculations); however, the Record Book's Student Detail page is the best place to deactivate tests since it shows all tests. (If you click the student's name, you can see all of the student's test scores, and you can click the status to see a mastery link.)

If you click the test name, you can see each student's score on the test (if the student has finished it) and the date of each student's last test. If you select a student's score, you can select Mastery to see mastery scores.

Sometimes, you may also see one of the following messages instead of a score:

• Ready is shown when the student clicked the Star program tile, but the test was not actually started, and the student didn't see any questions.
• In Progress may mean the student is currently taking the test; it may also mean that the test window was closed or the browser experienced an error while the test was in progress.
• Suspend means the student chose to stop the test but resume it later. The monitor password was entered to allow this. The test can be resumed within 8 calendar days; if it is not, the Suspend status will continue to be shown here until the student takes another Star test of this type.
• Needs Approval may be shown for the Third Grade Reading Proficiency Assessment if it is available for your district. This status means the end date has passed and the test was not completed. The student cannot take the test unless the end date is extended.

If you click the student's name, you can see all of the student's work. In the list, you can see the date of the student's last work, the status of the current activity, and the score if the student finished the test and it was scored. You can click the status to see the Mastery link.
