Planning: Creating Standards

Standards in JumpRope can be added from the second step of the Plan tab.  Standards are often known as learning targets, outcomes, objectives, or proficiencies.  Depending on your school or district settings, teachers may or may not be responsible for creating their own standards.  In any case, the standards can be viewed by first creating or importing a unit and then by clicking it's title in the Plan tab:



There are three ways to add standards to a unit:

1. You can simply type them (or individually copy/paste them) into the New Standard box and press enter.
2. You can import them from Excel by using the Import Standards button at the top of the list
3. If enabled for your account, you can import them from the Common Core, NGSS, or other national/state/school-wide set of standards that has been loaded into the system.

The best choice will depend on the format of your existing standards and the strategy your school has chosen to import standards.

Each standard has some properties that you can edit towards the right of the screen, and an Advanced Options button that loads the full set of options:



Standard Types are a powerful tool in JumpRope that lets you categorize standards that factor separately into the student's overall grade.  The options available to you are determined at the school level in the Admin Console.  You can learn more about Standard Types in this article: http://support.jumpro.pe/hc/en-us/articles/200344310-Standard-Types-or-Academic-vs-Character-

Calculation Types are another powerful feature that let you have control over the way that JumpRope determines the overall mastery level for each student on a particular standard.  Averages don't always make sense in the constructs of mastery-based grading, so we make several calculations available to you.  The options available to you - as well as the default option - are determined at the school level in the Admin Console.  You can learn more about how calculation types work in this article: http://support.jumpro.pe/hc/en-us/articles/200355494-How-are-mastery-averages-calculated-in-JumpRope...
