Google Classroom now allows educators to tag coursework and rubrics with learning goals, including specific learning standards and skills, providing a more structured way to monitor student growth. When creating assignments, quiz assignments, questions, or materials, educators can search for available, established standards and skills or click on suggested goals, which use AI to analyze assignment and course content. By tagging coursework with these goals, teachers can view analytics that visualize student performance and identify instructional gaps across individual students, entire classes, or specific learning areas.
Learning standards from around the world are made available in Classroom through partnerships with 1EdTech and Common Good Learning Tools. These standard frameworks are pulled from Satchel Rosetta Exchange, a public space hosted by Common Good Learning Tools where anyone can browse various learning standard sets that leverage the 1EdTech® Competencies and Academic Standards Exchange® (CASE®) standard specification. Visit the Help Center to learn more about getting new standard sets added to Classroom.
This update enables systematic tracking for standards-based learning, offering several benefits across the school community:
- For educators and leaders: Teachers can utilize data-driven student performance analytics to adjust instruction, while education leaders with Google Workspace for Education Plus can use the « Visit a class » feature to see how coursework aligns with required standards.
- For students and guardians: Students and guardians can see the learning goals tagged on assignments, giving them clarity for how curriculum relates to required learning milestones and targeted skill growth.
- Global availability: Classroom has a growing list of standards already available and periodically brings in new ones from the Satchel Rosetta Exchange. Learning standards are available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Italy, and Australia. Learning skills are currently supported in a selection of languages including English, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, and Brazilian Portuguese.
