Tool Search: Progress Monitor

The Progress Monitor provides another way, in addition to the Grade Book, to view student's grades and scores and manage curriculum. Both standards and grading tasks display in the Progress Monitor, which provides a view of Posted or In-Progress Grades/Proficiency Estimates at a glances and helps teachers to easily manage assignments across all alignments in a section. The Progress Monitor shows all students and alignments in the Term selected at the top of the screen.

Understanding the Progress Monitor

The Progress Monitor lists students along the left side and grading alignments (grading tasks and standards) across the top.

Student List

By default, students are sorted alphabetically by last name. Click the three dots menu () to change the sort order.

Click a student's name to view contact information, student's schedule, grades, attendance, and the student profile.

Filter the students shown using the Student Search or by clicking the eye icon to hide all other students.

Click the Assignments button to score assignments for that student

Column Headers: Alignments

Alignments are sorted with Standards first (based on the sequence entered in the Standards Bank) followed by grading tasks.

Standards are identified by their abbreviation.
Grading Tasks are identified by the last 9 characters of the name to capture unique information at the end of the name (such as Quarter 4, Semester 2, etc).

Click a column header to score assignments aligned to that task/standard. Click the three dots menu () next to the task/standard to Post Grades, change the Sort order, add a new assignment, or view Score Analysis.

If Composite Grading or Rollup Grading setups exist, those grading relationships are represented visually in the column headers of the Progress Monitor. For example, if the Semester grading task is a composite of two terms, the columns for those two Term tasks display within the Semester task. However, if the section has more than 50 tasks/standards aligned, composite and rollup relationships are not represented visually to avoid performance issues.

The Grid

Indicators within each grid square provide information about aligned assignments. Click a grid square to score assignments for that student and scoring alignment.

Indicator	Description
Center Score	The Posted or In-Progress Grade/Proficiency Estimate displays at the center of the square. This value calculates based on the Grade Calc Options set for the standard. Toggle between In-Progress and Posted grades using the Displayed Grades buttons at the top. When the grade shown is the in-progress calculation, click a column header to view posted grades, if available. Use the Grade Calculation toggle to determine whether the grade show is calculated using All Scores or Released Only.

Settings

Access related tools, display preferences, and assignment sort preferences from the Settings menu.

Screenshot of the Settings menu with tools listed at the top, followed by Display Preferences and Sort options. Open Settings to access related tools and preferences.

Tools

Grade Calc Options - This tool determines how the the In-Progress grades and proficiency estimates calculate. Options may be read-only if they have been pushed to the section from the Course level.
Curriculum Copier - This tool allows you to copy curriculum between school years and sections en masse.
Categories - Categories collect related assignments so that grade calculations can be applied to them en masse, such as weighting tests more heavily that assignments.

Display Preferences

Preference	Description
Pass/Fail Color Settings	This link opens the Account Settings, where color settings are managed for Instruction as a whole. Passing scores/grades are shown in green and failing score/grades in red. Whether a scores/grade is considered Passing depends on setup of the score group/rubric used. There is also an option to mute colors. Some users find the muted colors less intrusive, but color-blind users may find these shades more difficult to distinguish.
Show Rollup and Composite Relationships	Rollup relationships and composite grading rules calculate the grade of a parent standard/task based on the scores a student has received for child standards/tasks. Rollup relationship is established at the Course level and composite grading is set up in Grade Calc Options. In the Progress Monitor, these relationships display in the column header with child tasks/standards nested under the parent.
Show Power Law Trend Value	Power law is a mathematical calculation that determines a student's proficiency on a standard based on the trend shown by the scores that student has earned. This preference only applies if In-Progress grades set to calculate Power Law in the Grade Calc Options and if the appropriate setup has been completed for the Rubric.
Icons	Each of the grid icons described above can be hidden if desired: No Assignments Icon Missing Assignments Icon Student Submissions with No Score Icon Unscored Assignments Icon Grading Window Open Icon

Sort Assignments

Indicate whether assignments should be sorted by Category, Sequence, or Due Date and if they should be sorted in Ascending or Descending order. This setting applies to all views in the Progress Monitor.
