Over time your progress tracker will become more and more useful. To view it, go to the left menu, click Progress Trackers, and select your tracker's name. A Progress Tracker is based on the class and the body of standards. Along the top of the Tracker is all of the standards in this body of standards. Any time an assessment has questions on a given standard, the scores for that standard are listed chronologically so you can see if each student is growing. This puts a lot of data points in one place to see in context. You can also quickly identify gaps and standards coverage.
