What's New in Accelerated Math
Renaissance Place 3.4 Continued...

If you select Print Exercise or Diagnostic Test for all students requiring intervention, you will be taken directly to a page that shows all of the students in the class who have an Intervene symbol. You can quickly see who already may have an Exercise or Diagnostic Test and can, with one click, print assignments for all students in need of intervention.

Practice Preference
A new option has been added to the Practice Preference. The Automatically Assign Objectives option allows Accelerated Math to automatically assign the next objectives when printing a practice for a student. This option defaults to Off, but you can set Accelerated Math to automatically assign from 1 to 5 objectives at a time, allowing you to control how far a student can continue to work ahead. Accelerated Math will only assign objectives if:
        • the student does not already have objectives assigned and
        • the student does not have any objectives ready for review work

The Automatically Assign Objectives preference is set to Off by default so that new Accelerated Math teachers can get familiar with how practice assignments work. After you become familiar with using practice assignments, you may want to consider changing the preference.

Reports
Most of the Accelerated Math reports were reviewed and updated to a format that is consistent across all Renaissance Place application reports.

Diagnostic Report
The Diagnostic Report has been updated to now include Engaged Time per Day. The Percent of Full Pace calculation has been replaced with the Average Number of Objectives Mastered per Week.

Status of the Class Report
The Status of the Class Report was updated to include an Action Needed column that matches what you would see in the Assignment Book. In addition, a School Days Since Last Work Printed calculation has been added.


TOPS Report
The TOPS Report was updated to use the new report format.


Renaissance Place changes
In order to give all of the applications in Renaissance Place a more consistent look and feel, changes were made to the header and layout of the pages. Note that all header navigation links are now on the second row and that the page titles, such as Assignment Book, are on the page rather than left-justified in the header.
