        Adding achievements

        Student progress is measured by their achievements. To accurately assess a student’s progress you must add achievements.

        You can add achievements on any of the assessment screens and on the Assessments left to achieve report screen.

        Achievements can also be added retrospectively.

        To add achievements #

        1. Navigate to the required assessment screen in Connecting Steps.
        2. Make the required selections from the Selection panel.
        3. Click Add Achievement.

          Note: the default date an achievement is added is today’s date. You can change to an earlier date by clicking the calendar icon and selecting a different date.
        4. Click the required achievement in the drop-down list.
        5. Click on an assessment point on the screen and the achievement you selected appears in the assessment point.

          The example below shows a mastered assessment point.

        To assign an achievement to a group #
