Assign Standards to Courses

The Assign Standards to Courses screen is used to assign the standards that were set up in the Standards screen to courses. After standards are assigned to a course, the standards are available in the Gradebook for creating assignments and for posting standard grades (unless hidden from report cards or restricted to a particular marking period).
