Scoring Tab

Once you publish an assignment with questions, students can complete it online or on paper. Only published assignments will be displayed in the scoring tab.

• Automatically Scored: If the assignment includes multiple choice, multiple select, or true/false questions, it will be scored automatically.
• Manually Scored: For assignments with scored answer questions, you will need to access the scoring tab to enter scores for student submissions. If your district uses Classroom as a repository for assessment results, this is where you will input those scores.

In the scoring tab, you will see Students listed on the left. Scores will be displayed in the body of the page. At the top, you will find the Due Date, Assignment Name (hover for description), and Total Points.

The Actions Gear allows the user to change the view of the page, giving access to further functionality.

• Overview/Score Assignments: This will provide overall scores for the assignment.
• Order Newest to Oldest/Oldest to Newest: Here, you can change the order of assignments based on their dates. This preference is saved across all your gradebooks. 
• Show/Hide Assignment Points: Here, you can toggle the display of total points possible for the assignment. This preference is also saved.
• Refresh: Here, you can update the list of assignments and display real-time student submissions.
• Filter Assignments: This is where you can view published assignments that are Closed, Past Due, Open, Pending, or Unscheduled.  Search by Assignment Name Filter.

Classroom Assessments Visible in Homeroom  

Only district-approved assessments or assignments created and scored in Classroom will be visible in the Homeroom Assessments. Your district data administrator must configure an assignment accordingly to make it visible in Homeroom. Once set up, assessment results are automatically updated each night, although manual updates can also be performed by the data administrator when necessary.

Classroom assessment results are like any other assessment in Homeroom. They can be viewed singly, as part of an assessment set, in any Data Extract involving assessments, or as part of Risk Indicators if configured.  

1. To view the question by question, or standard by standard, results in Homeroom, first log in to Homeroom.
2. Navigate to Assessments Tests in the left navigation menu, choose Launch Assessment, then Assessment Item Analysis. 
3. Select your student group and the assessment you want to view, then click Launch View.
4. The first tab will display the overall results. You can manipulate this view like any other assessment by toggling performance levels on/off, creating student groups, searching by name, or selecting the District View option for subgroup information.
5. If the assessment includes item analysis, you will see two options:  
   • Item Analysis by Assessment: This option allows you to view results question-by-question and student-by-student. You will see:
     • Each student’s performance on individual questions, including whether they met the standard and their score.
     •  A percentage score for the entire assessment under each student’s photo.
     • Question types displayed: SA (Scored Answer, TF (True/False), MC (Multiple Choice), MS (Multi-Select).
     • Summaries (by number and percentage) showing how the student group performed on each question.
     • Hovering over the information icon reveals the question text and any images.
   • Item Analysis by Learning Target: This view organizes results by standard. Here, you can see:
     • How many students met the standard or answered questions correctly.
     • Question type.
     • Similar statistics on student group performance by standard.
     • Expand each standard for more details, and hover over the information icon for related questions.
6. Click the Actions Gear in the top right corner to download the results as a workbook with multiple worksheets.
