Setting and Tracking Assignment Goals

Setting Student Assignment Goals

• Goals are created based on a student’s scored assignment and are applied to the next assignment the student completes.

• As students work through their assignment, they will see and interact with their assigned goals throughout the process. After the assignment is submitted, teachers can review the student’s progress toward their goal and decide whether to continue with the same goal or assign a new one.

• Students can have one speaking goal and one writing goal assigned at a time.
