Pearson K-4 Math Quick Checks 10/24

Question: 

When we print the Quick Checks in Pearson K-4 Math, the student name doesn't appear on the printout. The teachers are using the Quick Checks as an assessment after they teach a lesson. They want a printed copy to be able to have documentation of the skill level and/or to be able to send home as a graded paper. However, when they print it, the student name does not appear at the top.  How can they get a copy that has the student's name on it?

Below is a explanation about the quick checks and how they are built into the system whether you are using print or digital.

The online Lesson Quick check is used as a diagnostic to prescribe intervention, on-level, or advanced homework and resources. A blank copy of it can be printed by selecting the "customize" option. A space is provided for the student to write their name and manually answer the quick check questions. When the students take it online it is meant to be viewed online and the score becomes a part of the data for that student.

An alternative to the online Lesson Quick Check is to use the Quick Check system built into the TE which can be sent to the parent from the write-in SE. Every lesson has pages for Independent Practice and Problem Solving. The teacher uses work the student did as part of their work in class to determine intervention, on-level, or advanced homework and resources by looking at the three problems identified in the TE (problems with a red check mark) that determine mastery. There is a 5-point rubric in each lesson to assign the student mastery level. For parents to see a graded quick check, the teacher could send that page home with the student's score written on it. The format of this page is easier for parents to understand and allows them to go over work that their child actually did in class and they can see more than a snapshot of their work. (see the Program Overview and Implementation Guide for a description of each lesson check and other lesson features in the User's Guide section).

To summarize, the quick checks are either to be done in the system and viewed in the system OR they are done from print in the student book or a printed copy from online.
