Creating Concepts

To add new concepts and standards.

1. First, you use the Section Manager to add a new Common Core grade level. We already have grades 1-9, so you will likely skip this step.

2. Second, you will use the Topic Manager to add a new standard.

3. Third, you will go into the concept manager and add a second level concept (skip if it already exists, you will skip 98 or 100% of the time).

4. You will go into the concept manager and add a first level concept (new info).

5. You will go into the Quill CMS and add a new 0 level concept (you can now select the standard and the parent concepts).

Level 2:
The broadest and most basic categorization

Level 1:
Pertains to which part of speech the student is practicing. Also, categorizes the type of activity that will be recycled if a student answers incorrectly.

Level 0:
The most specific description. This aids in the teacher's understanding of where the student is struggling.
