- Check assessment weights and score-display preferences with the school lead. Changing a display option does not change what was observed or taught.
- Check the teacher’s class/area → strand → sub-strand path and a sample saved plan. Compare activities and inquiry prompts with the approved KICD reference.
Mobile walkthrough
Choose the intended level
Screen walkthrough · 0:12Download GIF ↓On a phone, open the school menu and the feature named in the steps. Open one record or panel at a time. Scroll inside drawers and close the keyboard to reach the lower fields and final action.
Choose prerequisite fields first and check any defaults after changing school, year, class or curriculum. For wide grids and large imports, use landscape or a larger screen; the written instructions remain available.
After an authorised save, wait for confirmation and reopen the record. If a request may have completed, inspect the saved state before trying again.
Save and verify
The intended level has the correct saved rubric and teachers see the expected curriculum choices. Record support needs and the next preparation action.
Troubleshooting
An option or feature is missing
Check school, year, role, curriculum and enabled modules. Clear search filters and wait for loading. Resolve the preceding setup item first; ask the administrator to check access if the choice remains unavailable.
A class has the workspace default instead of its intended rubric
Select the class’s level and inspect its override. Confirm the active level and available category before changing the workspace-wide default.
A change did not save
Read the named validation error and correct that field. Check whether any part of the request succeeded before retrying. Keep the original source record available until the saved version has been checked.
