• To edit or delete a label, click the Actions menu.
  

• To reorder the list, use the 3 lines icon to the left of the label and drag and drop.
  

Student Assessment Profiles

To view a student's assessment profile or assign progress labels, click the student name from the Learning > Assessments > Portfolios page.

View Portfolio as PDF

Click View Portfolio to open the student's portfolio as a PDF.

When viewing student portfolios, you have the option to “Only include Assessments with an assigned Progress”. This will significantly cut down the length of the portfolio and allows you to better interpret the portfolio as it applies to relevant assessments of the child's development progression.

The student’s portfolio will open as a PDF displaying only the assessments with a progress assigned (see Adding Progress Labels below).

Adding Progress Labels

Each of your domains and milestones will be listed, along with a drop-down menu, which are the Progress Labels.

Progress labels can be added to a domain or for each milestone within a domain.

When changing the progress for an entire domain, the following message will display:

• Click NO to only update the progress of the milestone selected.
• Select YES to update the progress of all milestones within the selected domain.

Attach Observations

Once a student has a progress label for a milestone or domain, you'll be able to attach observations to demonstrate why you've selected that particular progress label.

Click the plus (+) symbol to add an observation from the web or via the mobile app.

You'll be able to filter for particular activities, or scroll through all activities that have been recorded for this child and use the Select box on the right side to decide which activities apply to the learning standard.

Note: Only observation activities can be attached to the developmental profile from the app. All other activities will need to be attached via the website.
