How to Get to the Set a Goal Page

Then, on the Goals & Benchmarks page, select Set a Goal.

How to Set a Goal

District-level administrators can set goals for all classes and students at all schools. School-level administrators can set goals for all classes and students at their schools. Teachers can set goals for their classes and students. Other staff cannot view or set goals unless they have been granted more permissions.

Follow these steps:

1. At the top of the Set a Goal page, click the Select link or the Select button to the right. (If a class is already selected, you can select the Change Selection button to choose a different one.)

   

2. In the window that opens, choose the school in the first column if necessary. Then, choose a class in the second column. (You can search the items in a column by clicking within that column and then typing Ctrl+F or control-F on the keyboard.) In the third column, first choose whether to select all students in the class or some (Select Students). If you choose "Select Students," check the students whose goals you want to set. When you're finished, select Apply.

   

   You can only set Star goals for classes that have at least one of the following products assigned: Star Early Literacy, Star Early Literacy Spanish, Star Math, Star Math Spanish, Star Reading, and/or Star Reading Spanish.

   To set reading practice goals for the quizzes that students take in Accelerated Reader, see Accelerated Reader Goals (Record Book). To set reading certification goals, see Accelerated Reader Certifications (Record Book).

3. Next, after "Type of goal," use the first drop-down list to choose the goal category: Reading, Reading Spanish, Math, or Math Spanish.

   

4. Use the second drop-down list to choose the type of goal that you want to set.
