The New Assign Focus Feature
New on DreamBox... The Assign Focus feature allows teachers to assign a standard to specific students, a group of students or the whole class.
Students will see the blue calendar icon when they log on, indicating they have a specific assignment. Be sure to tell your students to complete those first.
Teachers can view assignments and see if the standard was mastered yet. For more information on how to utilize this feature, please see the link below and/or contact your math specialist.
Dreambox Lesson Completion
"Lessons must be completed once started in order for our Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ technology to accurately introduce next best lessons for your student. If your student closes or exits the browser without completing a lesson, DreamBox cannot collect their learning data. The student will need to redo the entire lesson." ~ DreamBox Best Practices.
Check to see who in your class is finishing lessons and mastering standards. If you have students who are often unable to finish lessons, DreamBox will be extremely slow to adapt to their needs. They must finish the lessons they start in order to get the benefit of this dynamic, adaptive resource. Remember, it is important that students have approximately 15-20 minutes at a time to complete a DreamBox session.
