Grouping Students (Create,Add,Delete)
Grouping students organizes them for testing and reporting purposes. You can create as many groups as you’d like and students can exist in multiple groups or be in a single group of their own. No matter how many groups a student is in, their test results will not only appear in each group they are in but their results/scores will be compiled, in totality, in the student's individual report.
If you have several students you want to assign the same test to, place them into one group. If you have a single student that needs to be assigned tests, make them their own group.
Also, keep in mind that if you are a returning account holder and you have advanced your students’ grades, you will more than likely need to "regroup" all your students to make sure that they are in the correct grade/class.
Creating a Group
To access the group creation page, login to your easyCBM Dashboard and click on the Students tab.
Students are automatically listed in the “All Students” group. This group cannot be deleted.
To create a new group, click on the green "Plus +" icon and enter a group name into the box that appears below.
Once you have entered in a "Group Name", click on the green checkmark on the right to save.
**Remember to please be sensitive to the group names you choose as they are seen by students. You can work out your own naming convention, choose arbitrary names like a teachers' name or a class period or a single group can have the students' name.
Adding Students to a Group
If you do not assign a student to a group, the student’s name will not display when measures are assigned to a group, and the student will not be able to take an assessment. Once your group has been created it is time to add students to it.
To assign students to a group, select a "Group Name" and you'll notice that the "Student List" to the right will turn "all white".
To add a student to the group, you'll check the box to the left of the students name you'd like to add.
Once the box is checked, you'll notice that the student's name line turns black. This indicates that the student is now a part of the group.
Now that the student(s) have been assigned to a group, you can begin assigning assessments.
Deleting a Group
When you want to remove a group from an account, only the group will be removed. The students who were in that group will remain in the account and will continue to be accessible in the Student's column.
To delete a group, click on the Students tab.
Next, select a group name by clicking on the circle to the left of the group name.
Once a group is selected, you can delete it by clicking on the red "Trash Can" icon to the right of the group name. **Deleting a group from an account will only delete the group, and not the students and their data.
Once you click on the red trash icon, a pop-up window will appear confirming that you would like to "Delete the Group". Click on the red "Delete" button and the group will be removed from your account.
Removing a Student from a Group
To remove a student from a group, login to your easyCBM Dashboard and click on the Students tab.
Next, click on a "Group Name" and in the Students column to the right, students that belong in that group are highlighted in black.
To remove a highlighted student from a group, deselect the name of the student by clicking on the checked box to the left of the student's name.
When the box is unchecked and the student's name line will "turn white" indicating that the student is no longer a part of the group.
