Thinking of upgrading your account? A Paid Teacher plan subscription lest you get creative with your activities, differentiate more effectively, save time through scheduling and grading features, share student work, make more data-informed decisions, and administer fair assessments. Read on to find out more!
🌟 Get creative with your activities
Our Paid Teacher plan content and question types (Audio, Audio Response, Categorize, Drag and Drop, File Response, Fill in the Blank, Graphing, Hot Spot, Hot Text, Inline Choice, Match Table Grid, Matching, Numeric, Resequence, and Video Response) give you ultimate flexibility when creating your activities!
Try using Categorize to have students sort vocabulary into synonyms or antonyms, or Matching to have students match chemical formulas with their common names. Numeric questions give students access to a numeric keyboard to type their answer, while Graphing questions allow them to create a graph from an equation or table of values. Resequence is great for putting steps of a process in order, and Audio and Video Response can be used for discussion!
You can even add questions to specific times in your video content!
Already have resources you love? Your Paid Teacher plan subscription comes with unlimited uploads of PDFs, Docs, Google Docs and other types of files. Use our Upload & Transform feature and simply add questions on top!
🌟 Meet more student needs with differentiation
Upgrading to the Paid Teacher plan gives you many more Assign options, including the ability to assign activities to individuals and groups:
In addition, the Paid Teacher plan content and question types (such as Audio or Video Response) give you more options to customize your activities to student needs. You can use Audio to read questions or content aloud, and Audio Response or Video Response provide an alternative to Short Answer or Free Response questions.
Try cloning an activity, adjusting it as necessary, then assigning that copy to a specific group.
🌟 Let Formative do more of the grading work
With a Paid Teacher plan, you can score multiple responses at the same time, as well as send feedback to multiple students at once!
Formative will also take on more of the grading work when you "Allow Partial Credit" or "Allow Partial Match." Simply toggle those options and let Formative do the rest!
Did a student write a response that was correct, but it didn't match the answer key? No problem! With a Paid Teacher plan, you can add responses to the answer key as you grade them - updating the scoring for all students automatically.
🌟 Open a dialogue with your students
When a teacher has a Paid Teacher plan account, students can send messages to the teacher, in addition to the teacher sending messages to the student. Use Formative to intervene when it matters most - immediately - and redirect your students, address misconceptions, and answer questions!
With a Paid Teacher plan your feedback doesn't have to be text, either. You can send images, video, emojis 😀, and even embed websites in your feedback! Too tired to type? Send a voice comment instead!
🌟 Integrate with Google Classroom
Love Google Classroom? So do we! Educators on a Paid Teacher plan can not only import their Google Classroom classes, but post assignments to their Google Classroom stream with one click, and even pass grades back automatically!
🌟 Share your plans and student work
Educators who upgrade to the Paid Teacher plan can print their formatives. Prepare ahead for subs by printing your blank activities, and send student work home by printing student responses (with scores and/or feedback comments).
🌟 Make data-informed decisions
With a Paid Teacher plan, your Tracker will show results from the last 14 days. Use the Tracker (and our standards tagging feature) to check whether students have mastered your standards and see class averages, too!
Your Paid Teacher plan subscription also includes unlimited exports from View Responses and the Tracker to a CSV file or Google Sheets. Love data? This will enable you to sort and filter any way you like, and spot patterns and trends in your students' responses.
🌟 Ensure exam integrity with anti-cheating tools
With a Paid Teacher plan subscription you have access to several anti-cheating tools within Formative:

🌟 And more!

Plan ahead by scheduling your formatives to open and close at specific times
Save time by setting default point values and default assign settings for all formatives
