I would like to be able to choose different icons for the rewards that they can earn.
It would be nice to be able to choose different icons for the rewards that they children can choose from the teacher. Some of my 1st graders got disappointed because they chose one reward, but thought it was a different one. Although you are able to read the description, my lower students find that more difficult.

Assign Coins for Reading Logs & Assignments
I would like to be able to assign coin values or have a default coin value for reading logs and custom assignments.
When coins were added to spelling practice, it improved enthusiasm for spelling assignments.
369 votesParents (and teachers) can now award bonus coins on reading log assignments and Math/ELA assignments. This gives parents the opportunity to add additional coins to the amount students automatically receive for completing an assignment.

Reading log print out
I would like to print a complete list of ALL the books logged into reading log assignments collectively not just one assignment... A list to date.
I need this for my records and would take toooooo long to print assignment by assignment.
We need a print option or a report of some sort for all of the books ever entered.Alison perry

Customize number of questions per practice.
I have children with attention difficulties and while they enjoy scootpad it is difficult for them to remain focussed at times. It would be great to be able to customise the number of questions in practices and assignments and the number of coins that each practice is then worth.
174 votesHi Everyone,
Thank you for your very insightful feedback – we greatly appreciate it. With the new release of Practice 2.0, you can customize the number of questions per practice session. Check it out in your accounts!

Mobile App User Interface Improvments
It would be much easier for the kids to have an actual app, not a web browser copy. It is very hard for the kindergartner to adjust the keyboard to the numbers or <> signs and other spacial character. Also i would be nice to make current module and assignment available of line. In addition the screen is so big an movable that many smaller kids accidentally pan away from their problem and get distracted by trying to find the problem back on the screen.

Printable Overall Class Progress Report
My administrator regularly asks for an overall progress report on my students to be posted in my classroom. I would like to have the ability to print out a standards report that displays all of my students on one table, rather than print out individual reports.
52 votesThis feature is available for teachers and now admins! Teachers can access the By Standard report for Math/ELA in their Mastery Reports page. Admins can view this report by clicking on Reports, and then clicking By Classroom.

Allow students to skip a math problem (and come back to it).
Allow students to skip over a problem that they are struggling with and move on to a problem that is easier. When kids get stuck it strikes a blow to their self confidence. By allowing them to skip a problem and move on to others that they can do, they can gain the confidence to come back and solve the "tougher" problem.
47 votesThis feature has been added! Students can now skip a math or ELA question and come back to it.

Hints, and Video Support
First, students are left without any support (a hint bar) during their practices, and there are no supporting videos to display the concept! Tenmarks does give hints and videos--these is a major support for teachers, as it gives them go-to resources! Hints and videos for concepts will also support students in being more able to perform individually, and at-home.
34 votesWe currently have Scootorials (Instruction videos) for each concept! Students can access these on their dashboard, learning path, or within practices/assignments. Teachers can access these videos on their account while viewing a learning path.

Allow teacher awarding of coins for any/all assignments.
Teachers should be able to award coins for whichever student activities they wish. For example, I would like to award a small amount of coins for simply completing a pre- or post-assessment. I'd like to be able to raise or lower the coin level of assignments based on how long/ difficult they are for my kids. It seems this could be a teacher option throughout the app.
31 votesTeachers can now award bonus coins on assignments. This gives teacher the opportunity to add additional coins to the amount they automatically receive for completing an assignment.

Preview assignments & assessments
Would like to be able to preview an assignment or assessment after making it and before the kids take it.
25 votesHey everyone – thanks for the suggestion/feedback! Currently, you can preview an assessment with the exact questions students will see in Assessment 2.0.
In Assessments 2.0, click on My Assessments, then on My Own Assessments, and just click on the Preview Icon (magnifying glass). You can find this icon on assessments in the Open Content Platform as well.
As for the new targeted practice feature in Practice 2.0, you now have the ability to preview multiple questions that will potentially be on that specific practice but due to the dynamic nature of the practice the questions will not be exactly what your students will see. Take a look at the new site that gives a nice explanation here (https://www.scootpad.com/features/mas-targeted-practices)
Thanks so much for your support and patience. You all are awesome.

Add a feature to search for specific math concepts regardless of grade.
Currently, when I search for a concept, it only searches within my grade. I have students with varied abilities, and gaps that are outside their current grade. I'd love to be able to search for a concept, and see all the related activities, regardless of grade.

sharing children with multiple teachers
Wow, we really really need to be able to have kids in multiple teacher portals while keeping the same account. So the homeroom teacher, the GT teacher and the ELL teacher can all have the same child and the same child's account under portal teacher portals so we can all see the data. THis should be able to be done for a single child or a group of children (e.g., assign the ELL teacher access or "shared ownership" of a group or subset of kids.
I think that to have a school best use the platform, from GT to ELL…

sync parent dashboards
When I create rewards for our student, my husband cannot see them on his parent dashboard. Conversely, when he creates a reward, I don't see it on my dashboard. Our student sees them both (good).
Parent dashboards should show the rewards for the student. Right now, for the other parent to see them, they have to sign in as the student15 votesHello,
With the home school addition, parents can both see the same dashboard and manage learning for their children!
Thanks for your support!

Option to Reassign Failed Assignments
Option to reassign failed assignments. (Now, I create a new assignment for just the student(s) who did not meet my expectations, but it would be nice to be able to delete their previous score and have them retake it without having to create a new assignment.)
15 votesHi all,
In 2.0, you are able to reassign assignments easily. Also, student scores are no longer the typical average but a decaying average which places more weight on the latest score. Thanks for your patience!
