Assigning Additional Resources by Standard in SchoolCity
After students have taken an assessment in SchoolCity, the teacher may be able to assign additional practice resources based upon their performance on specific standards. This only works for teacher-created assessments, not standardized assessments whose data has been loaded into SchoolCity.
NOTE: There are many more resources available for ELA & Math standards than for SS or Science standards, and none for other content areas. It is up to you as the teacher to decide how you want to use these additional resources. Additionally, not all resources will be actually be available to students, so it is best to test resources before you rely on them for remediation.
