Integrated Performance Assessments consist of an activity in each of the 3 modes of communication, as well as a reflection activity. You can assign one or more of the activities to students as a performance assessment. Each activity is scored separately, but should be considered holistically when using the provided scoring rubrics.
All IPAs are teacher-graded and include Custom activities. Those assignments will show in Submitted status on your Class Dashboard, Assignments tab. From the Assignments tab, you can view an assignment, enter scores and feedback for submitted work, and edit or delete assignments.
The Assignments tab of your Class Dashboard provides an overview of all assignments for the selected class.
Assignment status is color-coded for easy viewing of what is going on with a specific assignment. Items in orange are submitted and waiting for you to score them.
Click on the Due Date column to sort in order of due date to see recent assignments first.
Overdue assignments are bolded in red for your attention.
Use the Filters to narrow the selection by:
Due Date
Status
