00:00.000 --> 00:10.440
In this video you'll learn how to configure skills and competencies.

00:10.440 --> 00:15.120
These are the two things that let us send tell you not just that a student scored poorly,

00:15.120 --> 00:19.040
but exactly what they haven't learned.

00:19.040 --> 00:21.600
Open Config, then Skills.

00:21.600 --> 00:23.560
Start by choosing a subject.

00:23.560 --> 00:29.960
For measures appear, questions in the subject, questions linked to a skill, skills defined,

00:29.960 --> 00:32.080
and tag coverage.

00:32.080 --> 00:36.080
Tag coverage is the single most important number on this page.

00:36.080 --> 00:42.040
A question that isn't tagged to a skill can be answered, scored and reported, but it cannot

00:42.040 --> 00:44.160
tell you which skill was weak.

00:44.160 --> 00:49.400
The grade coverage chart shows how skill coverage is distributed across grades, so you can

00:49.400 --> 00:51.960
see where your framework thins out.

00:51.960 --> 00:55.680
Below, the skill list is organized by grade.

00:55.680 --> 01:00.720
Each skill expands into sub-skills, with the framework descriptor it targets.

01:00.720 --> 01:06.240
You can search skills, filter by grade, and download the subject's skill map.

01:06.240 --> 01:08.040
Now competencies.

01:08.040 --> 01:13.760
Where skills are granular, competencies are the recognized standards you report against.

01:13.760 --> 01:20.520
Ascent supports multiple frameworks side-by-side, including elementary school Arabic, intermediate

01:20.520 --> 01:27.120
school Arabic, secondary school Arabic, and Arabic language fundamentals.

01:27.120 --> 01:32.600
Expand any framework to see its competencies, each with a code, a description, and its

01:32.600 --> 01:34.600
sub-competencies.

01:34.600 --> 01:40.080
Filter by subject and status, or search by code, name or description.

01:40.080 --> 01:45.840
You can also export the competency data as a CSV for further use or analysis.

01:45.840 --> 01:50.960
When skills and competencies are configured and your questions are tagged against them,

01:50.960 --> 01:55.200
your reports can name a weakness precisely rather than approximately.
