Week 1-3 Training, planning, and first assignments Create lesson plans with the intent on assigning TenMarks assignments that match your scope and sequence. Use Reports to shape instruction.
Using your current lesson plans, assign 1-3 assignments that are in alignment with what you are teaching in class each week.
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.

Ideas to think about/share with colleagues: Was TenMarks helpful in providing practice to support your instruction? What were the best and more challenging parts of creating assignments in TenMarks?
