Differentiating based on student mastery or performance

 

Overview

NoRedInk's assignment form allows you to quickly target assignments to the students who would most benefit from additional practice.

How do I view student levels when creating an assignment?

1. From the Assignment Library, choose which type of assignment you'd like to create.  If you're creating a differentiated unit, click the "Create unit" button next to your Unit Diagnostic. This will allow you to create assignments directly from the results of your Unit Diagnostic.
2. Select the topics you'd like to assign.
3. When you arrive at the "Assign" step, expand your class list(s) by clicking the small blue arrow to the right of the class name(s).
4. If you'd like, you can click the word "Mastery" or "Performance" at the top of the list to sort based on Mastery or Performance level.
   
5. Use the color-coded Mastery and Performance levels to select the students who should be assigned.

What are the Mastery/Performance levels based on?
