Benchmark” button
when you have the

This will bring up a

Tying Assignments to Benchmarks to Calculate Results
There are four steps to attach assignments to benchmarks to calculate benchmark
results. The following is a list of those steps followed by a detailed explanation.
Step 1: Go to Scores: Categories and Assignments to attach Assignments to
Benchmarks.
Step 2: Go to Scores: Standards and Benchmarks to verify Assignment
weighting within a Benchmark.
Step 3: Go to Edit: Edit Assessments for a Course or Grade or Edit: Edit
Assessments for a Student to calculate Benchmark results.
Step 4: Go to File: Teacher to Office to send your Standards and Benchmarks to
the office.
Step 1: Go to Scores: Categories and Assignments to attach Assignments to
Benchmarks.
A. To attach assignments to benchmarks, follow the necessary steps to
create a category and then assignments underneath that category. Categories can
still be named “Tests, Assignments, Participation” etc. but many teachers find it
helpful to create categories using the names of the benchmarks. That is how it is
organized in this document. Create categories in a way that makes sense to you.
Notes
• If you click the “Select Benchmark” button and
it tells you “no benchmark instances have been
created for this course in the office,” you should
do an “Office to Teacher.” If that does not work,
the office will have to instance benchmarks to this
course for you.
• Assignments may only be attached to one
benchmark.
• You can attach as many assignments to a
benchmark as you would like.
• If you have an assignment/test that applies to
more than one benchmark, you would need to put
the parts of the test in as separate assignments.
