Green Dot Challenge

The Green Dot Challenge is a fun and effective way to personalize learning in the Progress Learning platform. Students can navigate to any of their practice pages and work independently. Set specific parameters for how many (or in which) standards a student should earn green dots over a certain amount of time. Look at each individual student’s progress report to set learning targets. You can see the average scores and question counts (correct/total attempted in parentheses) for each standard. See how the Green Dot Challenge can empower all of your students, no matter their level.
