Assignment vs Adaptive
Please add a way to sort assignments from adaptive practice.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. We have revamped Practice 2.0 and this was taken into consideration.

Help for writing section!
Can you work on the word processor part of the writing. My third graders are very frustrated. We have gone to working in another program and pasting it in Scootpad since I like the grading, feedback, and reports.
1 voteHello,
The writing area has undergone some improvements. Depending on the browser you can easily copy and paste, but the information can still be displayed! Try it out and thanks for your support!

Assessment word bank
In the math assessments separate the words in the word bank. Example- conecylindercube could be separated into: cone Cylinder cube.

Rigor settings
Feature request: It would be nice to be able to set rigor as low as 5 questions. The reading passages are often long and complex enough that if a student can get 5/5, it is enough... also, possibly to be able to set different rigor or profieciency standards for certain students (ie most kids are on default classroom settings, some kids are customized).
1 voteHi All,
Practice 2.0 has been rolled out and this is a setting. You can adjust the # of questions your students see on a practice session versus a default of 10 or 20.
Thanks for rocking it out with us!

Intervention assignments
For small group intervention purposes, it would be nice to be able to assign the same passage to that group of kids so we could work through together, or for me to be able to run a demo assignment on my screen to work through as a group.
1 voteHey everyone,
In the new assessment feature, you are able to choose the same question and assign it to the same group of students to review. Check it out!

Link
I would love it if my students could click on a link on the wall. This used to be an option- miss it!
1 voteHi All,
You can post links on the class wall! Post links to open in another or the same window! Have fun with this tool!

Mass Fill Scores
I would love to select multiple students at one time in order to fill scores on reviewed assignments.
1 voteHi there! Yes you can review student submissions in real-time at your own convenience. Easily provide feedback for multiple students with just a couple clicks. Use custom rubrics and automatically keep parents and students informed.
Thanks

Reassign Incorrect Questions
If students miss a particular question during an assessment or assignment, there should be a way to reassign it to them.
1 voteHello,
In the assessment feature, you can reassign the exact same question and in the new Practice 2.0, you can reassign the same concept from an assignment.
Thanks for your support!

Intervention Tab
The Intervention window is not helpful since it shows the average of all the scores from one standard. I have a student showing 73% passage. However, on the last check of that standard she received an 85%. To get her to show proficiency is like having her do 50 problems on a worksheet when I know after 10 she has it mastered. Having the program show one standard and then be able to click on a student to see all of their attempts would be beneficial (unless this already exists and I just don't know about it!).
1 voteHello,
With the release of Practice 2.0, we have revamped the intervention dashboard and it is now the intervention monitor. Because wee are scaffolding while students are working, intervention happens quicker. In addition, we have solved for the averaging issue by scoring students based on a decaying average model. This gives the last score a higher weight of 65%..
Thanks so much for your support!

Option to Reassign (Goes along with the one under review)
Easier option to reassign failed assignments. I now have to create a new assignment for just the student(s) who did not meet my expectations. I still want to see all their attempts, but please make reassigning easier. Thanks!!
1 voteHi there,
You can now easily reassign an assignment to one or more students easily!

Prevent skipping questions
Prevent students from moving on to the next question if the do not change their answer on the "retry".
For example, I have several students who get an answer wrong and when they are prompted to try again, they simply resubmit the same answer in order to move on to the next question. It would help if they were "stuck" on that problem until they actually tried a second time.1 voteHello,
With our new types of questions, students have to, in many instances, type in their answer or input the answer as there are over 50 technologically enhanced item types! NO more multiple choice as the main type of question!
Thanks for your support!

Overall Individualized Student Report
It would be ideal to be able to print individual overall reports on all standards students have been practicing - not just a report on 1 standard at a time. This would make it easier to look at students' skills in one place rather than having to look at multiple reports.
1 voteHello,
This has been completed with the roll-out of Practice 2.0!Thanks for your support!

Extension Assignments/Assessments
Adding extension lessons/problems to current standards would be great for gifted learners. Our district does not allow us to teach above our grade level, they would prefer us to go deeper into the standards with our students. I would love to see more assignment/assessment options for this!
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. The new Practice 2.0 allows for higher level DOK questions. You can search for these higher level questions and assign to your students.
Enjoy!

# of Standards Mastered by student's name
On the by students mastery report it would be helpful to me to see how many objectives each student has mastered without having to click on each name on the mastery report. Sometimes the proficiency score looks great but then I see the child has only mastered 1 or 2 standards when everyone else has mastered 25.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! in the new 2.0 adaptive learning dashboard, you can see at a glance how many concepts the student has mastered relative to peers.
Thanks!

Change VoiceRSS service to a better Text to Speech service.
Change your text to speech service. Voice RSS is hard for my students to understand…especially for Spelling. Other online TTS services sound much better, such as ReadSpeaker.com and iSpeech.org.

Way to search for teacher account at district level
Provide a way to search for teachers within the system to locate specific data or to help determine the school in which they are located. I tried to add a new teacher and was told there was a duplicate account. She was a new teacher, so I knew she didn't have a previous account. I wanted to see where the duplicate account was located but did not know to locate it. If I could have typed her name in and found her location, then I would know. (To my knowledge, there is not another teacher in our district with her…

With the new dashboard rollout, admins can now see all teachers and the schools they are assigned to. Thanks for the insightful idea!
We appreciate you! -
Hide grade levels
Kids should not be able to see the grade level associated with the standards they are practicing. Very discouraging when a student is constantly reminded he is practicing reading concepts 2 grade levels below...... and struggling.
1 voteHello,
Thank you for the suggestion. With the release of Practice 2.0, currently in BETA for grades K-5, students are no longer able to see the grade level of their concepts.
