Faculty Test Board

@Richard Pan I was able to do this using calendars and permissions. First, as a platform manager, I created grade level calendars for our upper school (colour-coded to make things easy):

I then restricted view access to these calendars so that only faculty, staff and students could view the information that was posted:

Once that was done I went into Core > Security > Content Editor Access > Content and created a new Content Editor Access Group called Grades Calendars:

I then assigned faculty access to the various calendars they would need to post content on.

Once that was done, faculty simply navigate to the Calendar tab, select +Event and add the event to the correct calendar:

We use a standardized way of entering assessments/tests/assignments onto the calendar to ensure that no grade level has more than two major evaluations per day. When viewing the calendar, it looks like this:

Teachers can toggle the various calendars on or off, but it allows everyone to view what's coming up in the weeks ahead and manage their assessment deadlines and due dates accordingly. We've been using this system for years and it's worked very well for us.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

@Shirley Wagar: Are you able to restrict a calendar to just a specific grade, or can it only be restricted to “student”?

@Zoe MontoneyYes. If you go to Core > Events > Calendar events and look up the specific calendar, you can see the event as well as the day it was created or modified.

@Richard Pan I'm glad you figured it out. I was on vacation or would have responded sooner!
