Accessing the Admin Tools

Once your administrative access has been granted, you can access your Admin Tools by selecting the Admin Tools link at the top of the account dashboard.
Check out each section below to learn about all of the tools that are available for use throughout the school year!
Skills and Writing Benchmarks
Benchmarks are comprehensive assessment tools designed to track student progress toward mastery of standards-aligned writing skills across your educational organization. Benchmarks also give teachers the data they need to meaningfully drive instruction throughout the academic year. After administering a Benchmark, the results will generate detailed reports that highlight performance patterns at district, school, and classroom levels.
Writing Benchmarks provide assessment data with additional class-level reporting capabilities. These evaluations provide insights not only at the district and school levels but also drill down to individual classroom performance. When the Writing Benchmark assessment window closes, teachers automatically receive emailed reports containing the same aggregate data.
