Teachers and Administrators can manually assign a learning path, or placement grade, to a student. You may elect to manually assign a learning path if you do not want a student to take the MyPath Assessment or you want to place them based on another assessment that is not synced with MyPath.
Caution
If a student's original placement resulted from their performance on the MyPath Assessment, a manual placement will override the domain placements of their original learning path and result in a standard grade-level learning path. The program will continue to adjust the student's learning path based on their performance, but the domain-specific data that was previously informing the contents of their learning path will no longer be used.
Note
This article describes how to assign a placement grade to an individual. Administrators also have the ability to bulk-assign placements to groups of students.
To manually assign (or restore) a learning path:
- Select a class.
- Click Student Placement in the upper navigation.
- Click Filters to access the filters menu. You can use the filters to isolate students within a particular grade or who have a learning path in a specific subject. You can also identify students who do not have a placement yet or whose placement was deactivated. Refer to the table below for descriptions of the relevant filters.
Filter Description Grade Level This is the rostered grade level of the students. Choose 1 or more grades to filter the student list. Unless the class has multiple grades, this filter may be more helpful when viewing student placements at the school or district level. Placement This filter describes the students' overall placement grade as it relates to their rostered grade level. The options include Above Grade Level, On Grade Level, 1 Grade Below, 2+ Grades Below, Not Placed, and Deactivated. If you are wanting to manually assign or restore placements, choose Not Placed and/or Deactivated. Subject The options depend on what your organization purchased. Possible options include Math, Reading, Purpose, and Science. Note that for Purpose and Science, students automatically receive placements equal to their rostered grade levels. - Click more options (
