What is this?
To track student growth, questions in Formative can be tagged to common standards. To tag questions to common standards, teachers need to first set their standards preferences by choosing the standard sets they want to activate on their own accounts.
*Schools & District licensed organizations: Admins can define which standard sets will be available to all teachers on the organization level. Please reach out to your dedicated client success manager who will be able to help with this.
Choose Standards Sets
Click on "My Account" on the left-side menu
Select "Settings"
Click on "Select your standards" (or "Add Standards set" if you already selected a set previously)
Search for your state or organization, or choose from the list
Search by subject, or choose from the list
Check-mark the Grade Levels (if applicable)
Your selection will be added to your account immediately. If you don't see it added, please refresh your browser's session.
If you need multiple standards, you will need to select them one by one. There is no limit to the number you can add to your account, so if you teach multiple subjects and grade levels, you can add all the relevant standards you need!
If you don't see your standards, click here.
Add standards sets while tagging
Once at least one standards set has been chosen on the account itself, when creating your formative, you can 'tag' your standards to your questions by typing the standard or a keyword from the standard such as the subject.
Missing standards? Click +Add New Standards Set to add another standards set to your settings.
