Teachers that are part of a Gradient for Schools subscription, will have class and student rosters managed by a Gradient Leader at their school or district. If classes and students do not appear as expected, try adjusting your filters or connect with your Gradient Leader around rostering options available to leaders. If your Gradient Leader cannot help you, feel free to email support at support@gradecam.com.

Note: Unlike an individual Teacher Premium or Teacher Limited subscription, teachers do not manage their rosters when using a Gradient for Schools and Districts subscription. If you're interested in managing your own classes, a Gradient Leader will need to give you permission. Learn more here.

Creating assignments is easy in Gradient! All you need is your original assignment in front of you with an answer key (and standard alignments if applicable). Try any one of the options below:

• Review these sample keys to get ideas for what's possible.
• Select the Create Assignment tile from the homepage and use the article Create New Multi-Question Assignment

• Launch this guided tutorial once you're logged in to walk through creating your first answer key.

You can collect student responses via Form Scanning and/or Online Access.

Form Scanning

1. From any page in Gradient, click the Forms icon on the right and complete the fields for the type of form you would like to print (see form options)
2. Select Generate, then Download PDF to print.

After students have completed their paper forms, use one of the scanning options available.

Online Access via the Student Portal includes access via Google Classroom, Canvas, or Schoology.

There's so much more you can do as a teacher with a Gradient for Schools and Districts plan.

• Take advantage of integrations (Canvas, Schoology, or a LockDown Browser) you may already be using.
• Work smarter, not harder by sharing assignments.
• Download PDFs for training & quick reference that walk through everything you need.
