Managing the Standards Documents for the School

Use this page to manage the standards documents that display. Standards alignment is a relationship between the curriculum (Lessons and Projects specifically) and the various standards published by state and other academic standards organizations.

The features and tools in the application that are dependent on having standards documents enabled for your school include:

  • The Standards tab accessed from search when creating or editing custom courses.
  • The Standards tab accessed from the Search button on the Courses tab.
  • Viewing aligned standards for assignments in the Gradebook.
  • Viewing aligned standards for assignments in the Teacher Assignment view.
  • Selecting data for and running Curriculum Reports to see data.

 Note

A License Administrator must enable the Standards Authority option and select the states for the standards documents that your school is entitled to see. If the state has adopted Common Core standards (CCSS), both the CCSS and state-specific standards are available. If the Standards Documents are not listed here, contact Customer Support. 

 Permission
