PATH: Campus Instruction > Progress Monitor

The Progress Monitor allows teachers in standards-based classrooms to view students' proficiency at a glance and easily manage assignments across all standards in a section. The option to individualize assignments means teachers can assign work to only students that need it and give them each the time they need.

The Progress Monitor only displays assignments aligned to standards. For classes graded based on Grading Tasks, use the Grade Book.

The Progress Monitor tracks student proficiency across standards aligned to a section.

Considerations

  • Individualized assignments are indicated with a + throughout Campus.
  • Scores for individualized assignments calculate towards the grade of the term in which the End Date falls. If a student's End Date falls in Term 4 for an assignment from Term 3, the score contributes to the Term 4 grade.
  • A student's individualized dates display in the Campus Student and Campus Parent and other student-specific areas of Campus.
  • The Start and End Dates in the main assignment editor are not affected by individualized dates. Reports, such as the Section Summary and Student Summary report the end date entered on the assignment editor, not individualized dates.
