Assessment administration
Amplify CKLA 3rd Edition provides helpful assessment administration tools integrated into the Teacher dashboard to optimize the management and review of student assessments.
These assessment administration tools equip you with the resources needed to facilitate classroom assessments smoothly. You can direct attention effectively and provide a supportive framework for student success, ultimately enhancing the educational experience in the CKLA classroom.
Navigate to the assessment you want to administer. The Teacher dashboard opens on the Summary view.
There are several features in the Teacher dashboard to support your assessment administration and review.
Pull to lesson
If your students are logged in to the Amplify curriculum, you can pull them into an assigned lesson, ensuring all students start when you’re ready to start teaching.
Students are automatically pulled into the lesson and brought to Screen 1 (unless Sync to Me is set to another screen or pacing is on).
Anonymize
Make student names anonymous, shuffling them to support unbiased work review. This encourages fair assessment and comfort in student participation by minimizing biases.
Pace
Lead students through assessments by focusing on one screen or a screen range at a time. Pacing ensures that students remain on task, facilitating a cohesive and synchronized learning experience.
You can adjust or turn off pacing as needed to expand the activity scope.
Click Pace. Then select the screen (or screens) you'd like to gather your students on and click Restrict to Screen(s). Students will automatically go to that location in the activity, and students can’t navigate outside of that range.
Click Paced or Edit to change the screen range. Click Stop to stop pacing. Click + to expand the selection.
Sync to Me
Students’ screens follow your navigation through the assignment, ensuring their view matches the activity you are currently guiding. This keeps all student screens aligned with your instruction.
Pause
Pause the assignment to capture your students' attention, whether for a brief announcement or a class discussion. When paused, students can view but not interact with their screens, ensuring their attention remains on you. Click Pause again to resume the activity.
Sorting
You can sort your students by name, the time they entered the assignment, or shuffle (and re-shuffle) their names.
You can also hide a student’s name and responses in the dashboard.
The student name displays Student Hidden.
To unhide a student, click the three-dot menu and click Unhide Student.
Hide screen
From any view in the Teacher dashboard, you can hide a screen. Students can’t access hidden screens. This allows you to organize lessons to align with your pacing.
Click the three-dot menu in the top right of the screen and click Hide screen.
The screen becomes semi-transparent, and the surrounding screens are automatically renumbered. Click Unhide to restore student access.
