Learning Resources Personalized To You

The new year can bring improved focus and renewed energy to your students - so why not do the same for your assessments? Gradient has all of the free, self-guided resources you need to prepare your students for the rest of the school year.

TRAINING HUB

Bookmark the Training Hub today so you can always find what you need! The Training Hub is broken up into sections to provide the help that best matches your learning style.
  • Gradient 101 webinar series and How-To Videos are designed to provide quick, task-specific information.
  • The Tip Library offers unique strategies and creative ideas for expanding use of Gradient.
  • The downloadable Training Guides are designed to be printed for a handy walk through for common tasks.

SUPPORT

As teachers, we know there is no such thing as a bad question, so click on the ? (Resource Center) when you're logged into Gradient and get your questions answered.
  • Call, email, or open a support ticket by navigating to the ? icon in the lower left corner of your Gradient screen.
  • Read the latest Announcements to stay informed on latest features and updates.
  • Access in-app Getting Started Tutorials with step-by-step guidance to learn the Gradient basics.

REMINDER - USE YOUR FILTERS (NEW TERM TIME):

It's that time of year when one term has ended and a new one is beginning. By default, you will see “Current Terms” for all classes, students, assignment responses, and reports but if you need to access a previous or upcoming term, simply adjust the filters!
See the Monthly Tip section in this newsletter for more information.

Product Highlights

Save Custom Grid Configurations

Save Advanced Number Grid Configurations

When using the Advanced Number Grid question type, users can create, save, and delete their favorite Advanced Column configurations.
Use the custom configurations to setup the character columns to match your assignment or assessment needs. For example, creating a 6-column setup with a place for the $ sign and a decimal when practicing money calculations.

Monthly Tip

Adjust Data Filters

Assignment Report and Data Filters

Feel like your data has “disappeared”? Never fear, Gradient doesn’t delete data, but we do filter what you see based on the rostering and terms set up by the Gradient Leader. On most pages in Gradient, you can use Filters to expand what is visible.

Still not finding your data?

  • Try your Account Menu (Individual Subscription) to see if the data you’re looking for is connected to personally created rosters from the past.
  • Connect with your Gradient Leader to make sure previous term rosters continue to sync (Clever/ClassLink) even when there is a term change.
  • Email [email protected] with your name the assignment name, and the class name/student name that is missing, and we can help you find it!
