Managing Books

The Assessment Files screen in MyBSquared is where you manage the Books your school has purchased.

Active Books #

All the Books your school is currently using are shown in the Active Books section. This shows all the books you have currently turned on.

Books are grouped together in a series, called a Framework. For example the books Primary Steps (Core), Primary Steps (Plus) and Primary Steps (Foundation) all belong to the framework Primary Steps.

Available Books #

This section shows you all the available books to your school. It is country specific, this means if you are a school in, for example, Scotland, you see the books your school has purchased and books that are linked to Scotland.

Current Books are all the books available in your country that are in line with current guidance. Books your school has purchased have a black plus icon next to them. Those not purchased have a greyed out plus icon next to them.

Old Books shows books that you have purchased that have been replaced with a newer versions or that are not inline with current guidance.
