Illuminate has various forms of student data. From birthday, parent information, siblings, academic, and health records, by using the Search Bar at the top, you can quickly find the student you are looking for by typing first, last, or student ID.

You have your students but we know that they are not all on the same page! By creating student groups, you can have a visual of how your EL, GATE, boys, girls, or any group of students are performing in class or on assessments. Have a club that meets, you can create a student group of those students for when you go on a field trip and need to create a bus list!
To earn this badge, create at least 3 student groups. Then, navigate to the Control Panel in Illuminate and view your student groups. Take a screenshot and include as documentation on the Badge Application Form.
Students are now required to take the CAASPP test on the computer each year. What better way to practice and reduce anxiety than using Online Testing in the regular classroom.
Illuminate Online Testing can use your already created assessments (multiple choice and short answer) with the Hybrid Assessment. Using the Itembank Assessments, you can more closely replicate the tools and functions that students will need to use on the State Assessment. YOU can even become a rockstar and create your own assessment in Itembank!
To earn this badge, create and administer 1 online test. It can be a hybrid test or Item Bank created (however it cannot be the District required Benchmark). Send a screenshot of the Rostering page and Overview page once students have taken the test. Take a screenshot and include as documentation on the Badge Application Form.
When parents want to know how their student is performing, grades are often the first indicator. But what goes into the grades? Is the student doing well in class and on homework but not on quizzes and tests? Using categories or tags, parents can see this breakdown.
This benefits more than just students and parents! As educators, our lessons and assessments need to change and adapt to the students in our presence.
To earn this badge, utilize the Illuminate Grade book, with at least 15 assignments tagged or categorized. Take a Screenshot cutting out student names. Include screenshot as documentation on the Badge Application Form.
