Managing Parent Standards

What does this page include?

You’ll learn how to create, edit and manage Parent Standards.  This includes bulk imports, creating individual standards, and managing details including Child Standard and Bank association.

Who is this information for?  

District and possibly School level administrative staff. 

What’s important to know?

 Parent Standards must be created before their underlying Child Standards.  A Parent Standard can be associated with one or more banks.

What’s changed?

Standards are now available in two different views; hierarchical and list.  In the hierarchy view Child Standards are nested within their Parent Standards which are in turn nested within their Content Area.  In the list views either Parent or Child standards are listed independent of their relationship to each other.
