Curriculum Tags for Everyday Activities & Assessments

As educators, one of our key responsibilities is to teach our subject-area content and ensure that students leave our course with an understanding of the associated standards.

While it may seem simple at first glance, we know it’s anything but.

With the number of standards we are expected to cover and students are expected to learn, not to mention ensuring that we are providing a whole-child approach to education, communicating with parents, and overseeing extra-curriculars, it can be challenging to keep track of student growth and mastery.

Enter Curriculum Tags.

Curriculum Tags, or standards tags, are designed to help you easily track student progress towards meeting your course standards.

Curriculum Tags allow you to :

Quickly pull your course standards and add them to your class in SpacesEDU
Apply more than one standard to student work to showcase mastery of multiple standards
Easily see which students have met specific standards within your class and help those who may need more support

Read on to see how Curriculum Tags can be used to keep track of student growth and learning through everyday activities.

How Curriculum Tags support everyday activities and assessments

Take a middle school science class, for example. Perhaps students are in the midst of a unit on cell biology. Each day, you may want to have students show evidence of their learning through creating a reflection post or completing an activity in their Class or Individual Space.

After students have added evidence of their learning, simply go through their posts and tag them with the standards they meet.

As you go through student work to add feedback and apply Curriculum Tags, you can easily see which students are progressing well and which students may need more support in order to demonstrate mastery, ensuring that all students succeed.
