After you have entered subject areas, standards serve as the second layer of organization in your standards database. They group the benchmarks assessed by teachers into manageable categories (for example, "ELA," "Math," or "Science"). Add or edit standards within each subject area to provide structure for standards-based report cards and teacher gradebooks.
To get started, log in to jmc Office and go to Standards and Benchmarks > Definitions > Edit Standards.
Step One: Select a subject area from the "Subject Area" drop-down list to begin adding standards.
Step Two: Click the "Add" button to create a new standard or, select an existing standard from the list and click the "Edit" button to update it.
Step Three: Enter a unique number/letter combination in the ID field and a name in the "Standard Name" field to create the standard.
Step Four: Click the "Save" button to add or update the standard, or click the "Cancel" button to discard your changes.
Helpful Tip: To remove a standard that is no longer in use, select it from the list and click the "Delete" button.
