Why & When to Use District Assignments

Creating assignments at the district level ensures consistent assessments, reliable data, and reduced teacher workload. District assignments are ideal for CFAs, unit assessments, benchmarks, and screeners.

Why District Assignments Matter

  • Ensure consistency: Administer CFAs, unit assessments, benchmarks, and screeners uniformly across schools, year groups, and classrooms.

  • Improve data quality: Centralised assignments reduce variation in content, settings, and timing, ensuring results are comparable across the district.

  • Unlock actionable insights: Accurate, consistent data feeds directly into district dashboards for problem analysis, standards alignment, and progress monitoring.

  • Reduce teacher workload: Teachers no longer need to recreate district assignments, freeing them to focus on teaching whilst maintaining fidelity to district initiatives.

Getting a Quick Overview — the District Home Page

When you sign in to the district dashboard, you'll land on the new Home page, which gives you an at-a-glance summary of district assignment activity:

  • Total assignments — a breakdown of all problems pupils have attempted, grouped by outcome (correct, correct on second try, incorrect)

  • Active assignments — assignments currently available to pupils

  • Archived assignments — assignments that have been completed and archived

  • Top performer — the assignment with the highest percentage of correct answers

Use the home page to get a quick pulse on district activity before drilling into individual assignments or data views.

Best Practices

  • Use district assignments specifically for CFAs, unit assessments, benchmarks, and screeners.

  • Communicate purpose, timing, and expectations clearly to schools and teachers.

  • Align assignment settings intentionally to preserve assessment integrity.

  • Partner with Customer Success to ensure assignments support district goals and maximise data insights.

Tip: District assignments appear as "From district" on teachers' platforms, so make naming clear and intentional.
