The class Area of Difficulty Report highlights skills and activities that students have encountered in the past 45 days on Waterford.  Instructional strands will appear at the top of your report if you have at least one student in your class that has experienced difficulty in that instructional strand.  An educator will be able to see the skill name, lesson objective, lesson name, and score.  Clicking on the hyperlink of the student will take you to the individual area of difficulty report for that student. This report can be used to support small-group distance learning instruction, IEP meetings, parent conferences, and more!
