Track SLO Scoring in Campus Instruction

The steps below will guide you through the process of setting up a category that does not affect the calculated quarter grades. In this category we will have four assignments for tracking SLO scores, which will not show on the IC Portal. At the end of the school year you will be able to print a report that shows each student's Baseline Score, Growth Target, Final Score, and Exceeds/Meets Target.

Outline

There are a number of steps to get this ready, so make sure you have a few minutes to focus on this before beginning.

Here's the outline for this process
1 - See the Goal
2 - Create a Category for each section that is excluded from calculation
3 - Create four assignments for each section in May to hold the SLO tracking information
4 - Create a SLO scoring report for each section once the scores are entered
