Teacher Training & Reference Guide v 4.3
1. Ascend Overview
Ascend is a web-based instruction and assessment tool. Ascend assesses and instructs
students based on state academic standards for each grade level. Ascend is designed to
meet students at their level; therefore students may work at a lower grade level to fill in
gaps and ultimately catch up.
Ascend gives each student a short assessment to recommend at which level the student
is best prepared to start working in Ascend.
Once the student has been assigned to a level, the student will take a pre assessment
over the first unit of instruction. Ascend automatically removes learning objectives for
which the student is proficient. Any objectives for which the student’s pre assessment
scores do not indicate mastery become the student’s individual study plan.
Each objective contains a number of learning activities including award-winning video
instruction, interactive exploration, practice with re-teaching components, and more. At
the completion of the learning activities the student is directed to the post assessment.
Post assessments are formative assessments that the student is required to pass, based
on a desired proficiency level, prior to moving to the next objective in the study plan.
Once the student has completed all objectives in the study plan for a unit, the student will
pre assess on the next unit in the level. When all units in the level have been mastered,
the student is then automatically advanced to the next level. Instruction for a level covers
20-30 hours of material; therefore advancement to the next level is an infrequent activity.
Ascend makes it easy to track and document each student’s progress by providing many
detailed reports.
There are many ways to customize Ascend to fit the needs of your school and your
students. For example, a teacher may create units of objectives that reflect the way
lessons are grouped in the textbook she uses. Another teacher may wish for all of his
students to work on the same objective each day, instead of working at their own pace.

Teacher Training & Reference Guide v 4.3
3.2 Ascend Default Units and Pre assessments
Ascend includes a set of default units and pre assessments that any teacher or school
administrator may use. If the school is set to use auto-assignment of pre assessments,
the Ascend default pre assessments will be assigned to the students automatically. To
view the default units, generate a Unit Report Summary. See example listed below.
3.2a View Default Units
1. Open the Course Management menu.
2. Select Create/Manage Units.
3. Click View Units Report. The report will open in a pop-up window.
3.2b View Default Pre Assessments
1. Open the Course Management menu.
2. Select Assign Pre Assessments.
3. Click View Created Tests. The report will open in a pop-up window.
A unit is a group of objectives. For example, one unit may consist of all objectives
covering fractions. A unit may consist of any number of objectives, but units consisting of
5 – 10 objectives are recommended.
In order for the objectives in a unit to be added to a student’s study plan, the student must
complete a pre assessment over that unit. A pre assessment tests the students on all of
the objectives in one or more units. Any objectives that the student does not master in
the pre assessment are added to the student’s study plan.
While Ascend’s default units group the objectives by topics, such as “Whole Number
Operations” or “Ratio and Proportion”, and the default units occur in a traditional

Teacher Training & Reference Guide v 4.3
sequence, you may find that a different grouping of objectives or a different order of units
will better suit your needs. For example, a teacher or school administrator may group
and sequence units to focus on a specific content area or areas, to match the order of
presentation used in a textbook or state-mandated curriculum, or simply to match the
teacher’s preferences. The rest of this section is instructions on customizing your units in
the case that you choose to do so. Remember, these steps are optional; Ascend will
automatically present your students with an entire grade level of instruction, grouped and
sequenced by default, unless you choose to customize units and pre assessments.
3.3 Custom Units and Pre Assessments
In addition to the default units and pre assessments, any school administrator or teacher
may create units and pre assessments to meet his or her students’ needs. Units and pre
assessments created by a school administrator may be used by any teacher in the
school. Units and pre assessments created by a teacher may only be used by that
teacher.
Some reasons you may wish to customize units and pre assessments to
ƒ Focus on a specific area or areas
ƒ Change the order of the curriculum to match the order of the text book or statemandated curriculum
ƒ Change the order of the curriculum to match the teacher’s preferences
3.3a Order Pre Assessments
The simplest way for a teacher or school administrator to tailor the Ascend content to his
or her students’ needs is to simply reorder the Ascend default pre assessments.

Open the Course Management menu.
Select Order Pre Assessments.
Select the level.
Among pre assessments for which auto assign has been selected, the order that they
appear in the list is the order in which students in the selected level receive the pre
assessments.
To change the position of a certain pre assessment within the order, enter in the field
the number that corresponds to the position in the list to which you would like to move
the pre assessment. For example, if you wanted to move a pre assessment that is
currently seventh in the list to the third position in the list, enter a 3 in the field for that
pre assessment.
Click Update to review the order of the pre assessments based on the number you
have entered.
Continue steps 4 and 5 until all pre assessments are listed in the order of study you
prefer.
Click Save.

For any unit to be added to a student’s study plan, it must be included in a pre
assessment, and that pre assessment must be assigned to the student. For more
information on assigning a pre assessment, see “Assign a Pre Assessment”.
Quick Tips
ƒ To print the study plan by unit for a given level, go to the Course Management menu,
select Create/Manage Units, and select the desired level. Click View Unit Report
Button. The Unit Report will display in another browser window. To print the report,
select Print from the File Menu.
ƒ In order to use a newly created unit, a pre assessment must be created for that unit
and assigned to a student, class or level.
3.3d Assign a Pre Assessment
Ascend offers two ways to assign a pre assessment to a student or class. If you would
like the students to be able to work through the level study plan at their own pace, then
set all of your pre assessments to auto-assign. If you would like to be able to control the
pace the students work, then manually assign your pre assessments.
If pre assessments are set to auto-assign, then once a student has been assigned to a
level, the student will take the first pre assessment. After the student has completed all of
the objectives added to the study plan for the first pre assessment, Ascend will
automatically assign the next pre assessment to the student.
If pre assessments are not set to auto-assign, the teacher or school administrator must
choose which pre assessment the student or students should take first and manually
assign it. After a student has completed all of the objectives added to the study plan after
the pre assessment, the student must wait until another pre assessment is assigned by
the teacher or school administrator.
Quick Tips
ƒ To focus the student on specific areas, assign pre assessments manually.
ƒ To let your students work from the beginning of the level study plan to the end at their
own pace, use auto-assignment of pre assessments.
3.3e Assign a Pre Assessment Manually

6. Click Save.
5. Assign a Student to a Level
In Ascend there are two methods used to assign a student to a level of study: letting
Ascend make a recommendation or assigning directly to a class. The next section
describes the Level Recommendation. See “Manage Students” for more information
about assigning a student to a class.
5.1 Level Recommendation
The Level Recommendation (LR) assesses a student’s current skill level to determine at
which functional level the student is best prepared to start learning in Ascend.
Use the LR feature when a student may be in need of remediation or when you are
unsure of a student’s current skill level.
Use the LR in three easy steps:
1. Assign the level recommendation to a student when the student is initially added to
Ascend. At this time the administrator will determine whether a level should be
manually assigned to the student after the teacher or administrator views the
assessment results or to use the auto-assign feature to automatically assign the
student to their recommended level.
2. When the student logs in, Ascend presents the student with the level
recommendation.
3. Upon the student’s completion of the level recommendation, view the results of the LR
and assign the student to a level. If the auto-assign feature is turned on, the student
will be automatically assigned to their recommended level. The student is ready to
begin the first unit pre assessment of that level.
5.1a Assign a Level Recommendation
The school administrator is responsible for assigning a recommendation test to a student.
The LR may only be assigned to a student at the time the student account is created in
Ascend. A student may only take the LR one time.

Teacher Training & Reference Guide v 4.3
5.1b The Level Recommendation Test
If a student has been assigned the Level Recommendation, when the student logs into
Ascend, the first thing that he or she will encounter in Ascend is the level
recommendation test. The level recommendation test will contain from ten to thirty
multiple choice and free form items spanning many different levels of difficulty. When the
student has completed the level recommendation test, they should click Continue in order
to begin the first unit pre assessment of their recommended level. If the auto-assign
feature was not turned on for the student, they should log out of Ascend until the school
administrator or a teacher has assigned them to a level.
5.1c Using the Results of the Level Recommendation
After the student has completed the level recommendation test, the school administrator
or teacher can view the results on the Manage Students page which lists each student’s
actual grade and recommended level. From this page, the student can be placed in
either the recommended level or any other level. Please note that the following steps are
only necessary if the auto-assign feature was not turned on for the student.
5.1d To Assign a Student to a Level
1. Open the Administration menu.
2. Select Manage Students.

3. Within the Class menu, select the students you would like to view by choosing a
specific class, choosing “Not Yet Assigned” for students who are currently not
assigned to a class or “All” to view all active students.
4. Click Retrieve Students.
5. Locate the row containing the student’s name. Note whether the student has
completed the level recommendation which would be indicated by the presence of a
date in the Date column and a level in the Recommended Level column.
6. If a class has not yet been assigned to the student, choose the appropriate class from
the Class menu.
7. If the student has completed the level recommendation, choose a level within the
Level menu.
8. Complete steps 5 through 7 for any additional students.
9. To save your changes, scroll to the bottom of the Manage Students page and click
Save.
Once the student has been assigned to a level and class, he or she is ready to begin the
first pre assessment in the regular course of study in the assigned level.
6. Student Management
Once assigned to a class and level, the student can login and learn at their own pace with
little or no system manipulation required by the school administrator or teacher. As the
student progresses, you may feel need to alter the student’s level or even customize their
study plan. The following section details the features used in order for teachers to change
the student’s class, level, or edit their study plan.
6.1 Manage Students
The Manage Students feature allows administrators and teachers to easily view and alter
the actual grade, class, and level of individual or multiple students all on one page. This
feature also displays the results and test date of the Level Recommendation, which is
described in section 5, Assign Student to a Level.
Here are a few ways administrators and teachers use the Manage Students feature:
ƒ Change the student’s class assignment.
ƒ If the automated course level assignment feature was deactivated, assign the student
to another level after completing work within their current level.
ƒ View the results of the Level Recommendation
ƒ If auto-assign feature not used, assign a student to a level after completing the Level
Recommendation.

6.2 Managing the Student Study Plan
As discussed in “Ascend Overview”, the objectives for which a student does not show
mastery in a pre assessment become the student’s study plan. When a student passes
the post assessment of an objective, the objective is marked as completed and is
removed from the student’s study plan.
You may find the need to manually adjust a student’s study plan. Ascend makes it easy
to do that. The rest of this section describes the procedures for adding, removing,
skipping, and reordering objectives in a student study plan.

7.5d Post Assessment Attempts Report
The Post Assessment Attempts report displays each instance in which a student has
failed a post assessment three or more times. Each time a student fails again, another
row is not added to the report – instead the number of attempts column and time of test
column are updated to reflect the most recent attempt. The report is displayed as a table
that may be sorted by each column. The thirty most recent results will display by default,
which the teacher can choose to show all over thirty if they choose. If students assigned
to the teacher’s classes have failed the post assessment three or more times, the report
will automatically display on the teacher’s home page when logging into Ascend.
8. Ascend for Students
This section is designed to inform you as the teacher exactly how Ascend works for
students and what screens and activities you can expect to see while your students use
Ascend.
8.1 First Login
If the school administrator has assigned a level recommendation to the student, read the
next section. If a level recommendation has not been assigned, skip to “Take a Pre
Assessment”.
8.1a Take the Level Recommendation
If the school administrator has assigned a level recommendation to the student, the first
time the student logs in he or she will be presented with a ten to thirty item test. The
student should be made aware that the test they are taking is to help you find out what
they already know so that you can set up Ascend to teach them most effectively. The
students will probably see some questions that they don’t know how to answer. Tell them
that is OK, but to still try their best.
When the student has completed the level recommendation, they should click Continue in
order to begin the first unit pre assessment of their recommended level.
If the auto-assign feature was not turned on for the student, they should log out of Ascend
until the school administrator or a teacher has assigned them to a level. Once the student
has been assigned to a class, on the next login the student will be ready to take the first
pre assessment. See “Level Recommendation” for more information.

Teacher Training & Reference Guide v 4.3
8.1b Take a Pre Assessment
If a pre assessment has been manually assigned or auto-assigned (see “Assign a Pre
Assessment”), the student will be presented with it upon login.
The number of items in pre assessments vary based on the number of objectives in the
units. The students should be made aware that the test they are taking is to determine
what they already know so that they will not be required to study that material again. The
students may see some questions that they don’t know how to answer. Tell them that is
OK, but to still try their best.
After the pre assessment, if there are any objectives for which the student did not show
mastery during the pre assessment, Ascend will automatically assign the objectives to the
student. The student will be taken to the home page to begin working on the first objective
in the student’s study plan. See “Student Home Page”. If the student passed every
objective in the pre assessment, then Ascend will present the student with the next pre
assessment in sequence.
8.1c Student Home Page
The student home page lists the title and description of the current objective and has a
link to start the lesson and a link to view reports. Clicking Start Lesson takes the student
to the learning activities and the post assessment. Clicking Reports takes the student to
the Study Plan page.
The Ascend Climber, located below the current objective description, is a studentcentered tracking and reward system that provides instant, visual feedback on student
learning. The graphic design is based on the concept of climbing up a mountain of
knowledge: Each step up the mountain represents a learning objective. Students ascend
to the next step upon successful completion of a post assessment. Once at the top of the
mountain, the student is rewarded with a flag of accomplishment. Each flag of
accomplishment represents a completed unit. Designed on the student's home page, a
student can see his or her position on the mountain and objectives left to complete a unit
at any time.
For more information about the learning activities, see “Learning Activities”. For more
information about the post assessment, see “Post Assessment”. For more information
about the Study Plan page, see “Student Study Plan Page”.
8.1d Learning Activities
Each objective will have from three to five learning activities and a post assessment. The
learning activities listed across the top of the page and are numbered to indicate the
recommended sequence.

Beneath each activity link is an open circle. Beneath the post assessment link is a lock
icon. While the lock icon is closed the post assessment is locked. When an activity has
been completed, a check mark will appear in the circle for that activity. When all of the
activities have been completed and received a check mark, the lock icon will open and
the post assessment will be unlocked and accessible.
All objectives include a Study Guide, Video, and Practice and many also include Explore
and Review. When students first encounter the learning activities, all available activities
display except for Review. The Review displays along with the other learning activities
after the first unsuccessful post assessment attempt and any attempt thereafter. If
students do not pass the post assessment on the first attempt, they are then directed
back to the lesson to review the learning activities again prior to their next attempt.
8.2 Study Guide
The Study Guide provides a place for students to take notes as they follow along with the
Video. The Study Guide also contains pencil and paper problems for extra practice. The
Study Guide is a printable document that opens in a pop-up window. To view the Study
Guide in Spanish click Español, otherwise click Open Study Guide to view in English.
8.3 Video
The Video typically features a recording of an award-winning live teacher supplemented
with graphics. To display captions for the video, click “CC” below the video. To display
the captions in Spanish, simply click “ESP”. Playback should begin automatically.
Captions are not available for videos viewed with QuickTime Player.

If you experience any trouble with video, note any error messages and the current
objective title, and report the issue to the school administrator.
8.4 Explore
The Explore is an interactive activity or simulation used to reinforce the concept taught in
the Video. Students should follow the specific instructions displayed for each Explore.
8.5 Practice
The Practice activity presents the students with a number of test items that are similar to
the test items they will see on the post assessment. No score is recorded during the
Practice activity, so the student should feel free to try as many times as needed. Some
Practice problems include a Solution Video, a video of a teacher showing the student how
to solve that problem.
The Practice activity includes multiple-choice and free form items. When the student
clicks Check Answer, Ascend displays whether or not the answer submitted is correct. If
it is incorrect, the student may try again.
To find out the correct answer, the student may click Show Answer.
If the Solution Video button is present, the student may click Solution Video to play it.
The Solution Video will appear in a pop-up window and should begin playing

are not available for videos viewed with QuickTime Player.
8.6 Review
The Review contains information that is supplemental to the Video and is available to
students as an additional resource if the student did not master the post assessment
during the first attempt. The Review often contains key words and phrases, special cases,
extra examples, or alternative methods. The Review is a printable document that opens
in a pop-up window.
8.7 Post Assessment
Once all of the learning activities have been completed, the student may access the post
assessment. The post assessment consists of five test items.
If the student scores at or above his or her required proficiency level (see “Set Proficiency
Level”), he or she will be directed to the next objective in the student’s study plan if there
is one or to the next pre assessment if one has been assigned. See “Study Plan
Complete” if the student’s study plan is complete and no pre assessment is assigned.

If the student does not score at or above the required proficiency level, he or she will be
directed back to the learning activities to review before attempting the post assessment
again. Students that are redirected back to the learning activities will now have the
Review as an additional resource and may also be required to complete the learning
activities again. The flow of activities students encounter varies depending on their post
assessment attempts. The order of activities based on assessment attempts is listed
below.

8.8 Study Plan Complete
Ascend is designed so that a student can continue working non-stop until he or she has
finished all of the available objectives in a Level. There are a few instances when a
student’s progress may come to a stand-still while waiting on intervention from the school
administrator or teacher. The possible instances are listed below, followed by the action
required.
ƒ When the student has not been assigned to a LR or a class and level
Actions:
o The school administrator may assign the student to a LR.

ƒ
When the student has been assigned to a class but has not been assigned any
objectives or any pre assessments (auto-assign pre assessments not turned on)
Actions:

o The teacher may add an objective to the student’s study plan.
ƒ
When the student has completed all objectives in his or her study plan but has not
been assigned another pre assessment (auto-assign pre assessments not turned on)

Level.
8.8a Student Study Plan Page
The student’s Study Plan page lists all of the objectives that have been added to the
student’s study plan. Each objective is color-coded to indicate whether the objective has
been mastered in the pre assessment or the post assessment. If the objective has been
mastered in the post assessment, the passing score is listed. An average of the passing
scores is also shown.
The student may review the learning activities for any objective that has been mastered.
To review the learning activities of a mastered objective, the student simply clicks the title
of the objective. The student will then be taken to a page containing links to all of the

learning activities for that objective. The post assessment link will be present, but the
student will not be able to access it since the student has already mastered that objective.
Clicking Back returns the student to the Study Plan page.
8.9 Create and Assign Quizzes
A teacher or school administrator may create and assign a quiz to a student, class, or
level. A quiz is an assessment over any number of objectives. When a quiz is assigned,
it takes precedence over any other tests and activities the student may have pending, so
that upon the student’s next login or – if the student is already logged in – when the
student returns to the home page he or she will take the assigned quiz. A quiz may
assess students over any objective in any level study plan, regardless of whether the
student has pre assessed or post assessed on it. The quiz score does not affect the
student’s pre assessment or post assessment scores in any way. A quiz may be
assigned any time and the same quiz may be assigned multiple times.
Some reasons to use assign quiz:
ƒ Assign the same quiz to all of the students in a class over an objective or objectives
that correspond with the material being covered in class.
ƒ Assign a quiz to students over an objective that was previously mastered to assess
how well they have retained the knowledge.
ƒ Any other reason that suits your needs.
