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 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.

Display Preferences

PreferenceDescription
Pass/Fail Color SettingsThis 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 ValuePower 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.
