Data Analysis

One of the most common requests for Gradient Leaders is related to how to see data. Gradient is set up to grant access to data based on the assignment(s) students have completed. In order for a leader to "see" classes, students, or achievements, an assignment must first be shared with the leader or the leader gets global school access with School Reporting Mode (mentioned above). To learn more about sharing and other reporting related topics for assignments, use the links below:

• Sharing Overview
• Assignment Sharing Options
• Class Groups: Used to allow staff members access to classes and students not rostered in their Gradient account. This allows sharing of assignments, printing forms, and scanning for classes not assigned to the staff member. 
• Teacher Groups: Used to streamline PLC sharing of assignments
