Stride is in the process of examining the alignment between its Science curriculum and Alabama standards. During this process, there will be no Science PMA.
If you are an administrator, here is what you will see on the "Assessments" tab.
Notice that all of the selections are "grayed-out." You are not able to make any changes from the school level. You cannot turn off PMA. Furthermore, you cannot turn on PMA for Science even if you want to.
While we are talking about subjects...
Now is a good time for every teacher to look at the Curriculum tab to be sure everything is set correctly.
- Which subjects should students work on in your class? Be sure those subjects are checked. Are your students finding they are missing a coin for a subject when they log into Stride? The culprit will be what is checked on the Curriculum tab.
- Do you have the "F.A.S.T. 360 Adaptive Engine" checked? That's going to be the place you generally want your students to be.
- Do you have a student with some special needs? In the "I want to change the curriculum for" section, bullet "This individual student" and choose the student from the drop-down list. Now, you can check the appropriate subjects for that student. If you only want the student to work on certain standards, bullet "Include only the specific skill areas that I choose." Click "Choose Skills" and start to drill down to the skills you want that student to have. Don't forget to return to this spot and change those skills at the appropriate time.
