Scores from our 2nd Mock ACT
The % of students meeting benchmark in each area for tested students is below:
Exam Room
This tab allows students to go back and look specifically at their responses to questions on the test. There are video explanations of each question and what the correct answer should be. When reviewing, have students use the feedback column, where they decide after watching the video they would still miss a similar question or get that one right. After they finish reviewing the exam, they will get an adjusted score based on the feedback they provide. This will help students realize that maybe it just takes a few more correct answers to raise their score.
Study Hall
This tab allows students to review based on the topic of their choice or if directed by their teacher. If you have just covered a specific topic in class and want kids to have more practice, this might be a good option for your students.
Teachers
In order to have access to the scores your students received and the work they do, you need to create a group and enroll your students. Once you login, look for Groups and select Create New. Name the group, enroll your students, and be sure to select both Review Details and Create Group (2 clicks). Teachers login using their email address and warriors as their password.

Please encourage students to turn in these assignments, and enter them quickly into Infinite Campus using the guidelines above. Please enter the both the assigned date and the due date as the date we used for each iLearn day. Please remind students that we have to have a high percentage of participation in order for these days to be approved at the state level or they will have to be made up as well.
We currently have the lowest rate of participation for iLearn days 2, 3, and 4 in our district. We need all teachers to enter their grades for these days.
