🆕 Enhancement releases

We've been busy! Here's a sneak peek at our August 2024 new features and improvements:

Activities Tab

Formative's sidebar has been changed from "Formatives" to "Activities." This section now includes all activities- formatives, practice sets, lessons, common assessments, and quick links.

Quick Start Creation Option on Editor

Teachers now land on the edit page with options to quickly start creating activities based on the activity type, streamlining the content creation process.

Demographic Filters Added to Tracker

For our Gold plan members, the tracker now includes filters for race and gender demographics, enabling a more detailed analysis of assessment data, which supports targeted instructional interventions. (Note: Demographics data is available only at districts that opt-in to sharing it with Formative via bulk-rostering)

Browse Sets Button

Redirects to /practice page for users with a designated Math subject.

Write Mode in Practice Sets

We introduced a new mode for practice! Read all about it HERE.

🤖 Beta and Early Access Features Updates

The below features have been added to our list of future features teachers can opt-in to test with us:

Lesson Blocks

We are building our library of lesson blocks with templated activities to help teachers assess during the beginning, middle and end of class! New Lesson Block additions: a 3-2-1 reflection, Mid-Lesson Check In, and Write-Pair Share!

🛠️ Fixes

Every technological tool runs into hiccups here and there. If you run into any technical issues please submit a report to our team so we could go ahead and fix it!

  • A bug preventing the addition of child items when adding a functionalized lesson block via activity landing cards has been resolved.
