Help with setting up middle school Math (EC, Reg, Adv)

[Gina_Hutchens]

I have two middle school math teachers that are going to be teaching 7th grade math and 8th grade math 5 sections a day, BUT.. they are are going to have 1 EC section, 2 Regular Sections and 1 Advanced Section. 

Normally when they teach they can input the material in one time and share it among all sections.  BUT this doesn't work well when the EC section doesn't move as fast and the Advanced section will be doing extra or more advanced work.  

Ideas on how I can help them get this setup correctly before school starts?

 @Gina_Hutchens , maybe I’m not understanding the question, but can’t you separate them into three different classes in Canvas? EC, regular, and advanced? Copy the content over into the three courses, but then let the teacher pick the due dates and add extra content as needed.

Hi  @Gina_Hutchens 

Our school would likely set this up as  @kona ‌ has suggested, but you do have other options if this must be accomplished in one Canvas classroom - and I can see course management advantages to doing it that way.

Assignment Options:

• How do I assign an assignment to an individual student? If the student numbers are small.
• How do I assign an assignment to a course section? If the EC, Regular and Advanced are enrolled as separate sections.
• How do I assign an assignment to a course group? If not separate sections, the teacher could place the students in groups. Learn more at How do I add a group set in a course? 

Discussion Options:

• How do I assign a graded discussion to an individual student? 
• How do I assign a graded discussion to a course group? 
• How do I assign a graded discussion to a course section? 

Quiz Options:

• How do I assign a quiz to an individual student?

I hope these option can provide you and your instructors some useful choices,
