What are groups and how can I add them to my classes?

Having groups within a class enable you to “tier” your class. This is helpful when you have more than one teacher teaching a class or when you have students completing different levels of work within the same class. It enables you to move students to different groups within a class where all assessment information will stay with the student. To create groups complete the following steps.

• Click the menu button in the right corner and click "Classes".

• Click "Action" and then click "Groups" next to the class where you would like to add groups.

• Click "Add a Group".

• Complete the form (fields marked with * are required). Select the student(s) you would like to add to the group by checking the box next to their name. Click "Save" when finished.

• Repeat the steps above to create multiple groups in the same class.
