Building Your Standards Library

Overview

Your standards library is the central repository for every learning standard you track in AstraGrade. You create standards here once, then assign them to as many courses as you need. This article covers creating standards individually, creating them in bulk, and organizing them with folders.

Creating a standard individually

1. Click Standards Library in the left sidebar.
2. Click New Standard.
3. Enter a Code (e.g., CCSS.ELA.RI.4.1), a Name, and an optional Description.
4. Click Save.

Creating standards in bulk

If you have many standards to enter at once, use the bulk create tool. You can type rows directly or import from a CSV file.

Entering rows manually

1. Click Standards Library in the left sidebar.
2. Click Bulk Create Standards.
3. For each standard, enter a Code, Name, and optional Description in the table.
4. Click Add Another Standard to add more rows.
5. Select a Destination Folder if you want the standards placed inside a folder.
6. Click Import Standards.

Importing from a CSV file

1. Click Standards Library in the left sidebar.
2. Click Bulk Create Standards.
3. Click Upload CSV and select your file.
4. In the column mapper that appears, match your CSV columns to Code, Name, and Description.
5. Review the imported rows, then click Import Standards.

Organizing with folders

Folders let you group standards by subject, grade level, strand, or any structure that matches how you teach.

1. Click Standards Library in the left sidebar.
2. Click New Folder.
3. Enter a folder name and click Save.
4. To move an existing standard into a folder, click the move action on that standard and select the destination folder.
