Teacher Resource Guide

Text Box: Dear Teacher, 
Welcome to TenMarks! This guide is designed to be your first 5-10 weeks planning resource. It is a week-by-week breakdown for how you can use this in your classroom to see progress during your first couple of units. Having been teachers ourselves, our goal is to save you time and offer an easy way to effectively use a program that is designed to support your instruction! 
Please use this guide as both a checklist and an area to document feedback and notes each week. You can also use this as a reference for your evaluation of TenMarks to your school/district.
Thank you for joining us!
With great respect and warm regards, 
The TenMarks Team

*    View “Assignment Insights” to help inform instruction around why students may be having difficulty once assignments are finished.

*    Using Performance Reports, identify strengths and weaknesses and choose a concept you’d like to re-teach.
