What are Focus Areas?
What are Focus Areas?
- Focus Areas are individualized learning plans that identify which standards students need further practice on. These standards will be identified with pink dots indicating that there is a Critical Need for Study or yellow dots indicating that the student is Approaching Mastery on that standard.
- Focus Areas are cumulative and incorporate student data from all questions answered within all activities on the platform. Standards will appear in a student's Focus Areas section once at least two questions have been answered if the overall performance on the standard is less than 80%.
- To populate Focus Areas, students must answer at least two questions on a particular standard within the following activity types:
- Study Plan practice sessions
- Focus Areas sessions
- Subject and Domain practice tests in the Study Plan
- Assessments and Assignments
- Premium Assessments including diagnostic pre- and post-tests
- Additional Practice identified in Graded Work
- Skills Practice is excluded from Focus Areas
