Noteworthy features

PD Library

You’ll find plenty of professional development (PD) resources in the new PD Library to ensure your Amplify ELA implementation runs smoothly. The PD Library can be accessed by selecting the Programs & Apps menu in the top navigation bar when logged into Amplify.

A welcome message for educators is displayed on an orange background next to text introducing Amplify’s PD Library and its professional learning resources for educators.

Reporting features

Take advantage of multiple improvements to the tools and functionality used in Amplify ELA data and reporting:

  • Assessment reports now show scores color-coded by performance level, making it easier to interpret assessment scores.
  • Exit Ticket reports allow teachers to track Exit Ticket data across units.
  • Teachers can send students their Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) scores and Convention details by checking Share Rubric Scores in Classwork. (To make the best use of this feature, read our help article for a comprehensive explanation of AWE and how to review and adjust students’ AWE scores.)
A digital grading interface displays rows of student scores and feedback icons, with options for bulk scoring, reporting, resending feedback, and sharing rubric scores highlighted.

Caregiver Hub

Throughout the school year, you can share the Amplify ELA Caregiver Hub with students’ caregivers. This site provides curriculum details, an overview of what caregivers can expect throughout the school year, and resources they can use with students at home.
