Content Preferences help educators by automatically filtering out irrelevant state standards and surfacing standards information based on the state and national standards you select (there is no impact on students). This means faster reporting by standards, targeted standards search, and more guided exploration of standards-aligned content.
In this article, we will:
Explain how you can easily edit your preferences settings.
Detail how these selections improve your experience across Albert.
Editing Preferences Settings
You can easily edit preferences settings anytime by going to your Account Settings. Click your username in the top right, select My Account, then Password & Settings. Scroll to Content Preferences:
Select Your Filtering Options
Region — Confirm your state: This selection filters out irrelevant standards from states you do not want to see.
Standard Groups — Select national standard sets: This selection is helpful if you teach an AP course, provide students with ACT practice, align to Common Core, or other standard groups.
Curriculum Areas — Select the curriculum areas you teach or oversee: This selection filters out irrelevant standards from curriculum areas that are not relevant to you.
Click Save Preferences when you're done.
Personalized Views
Preferences settings impact several views that display information about standards.
Reports
Standards reports will automatically filter state and national standards that align with your preferences.
Open any report from Reports and select the Standards tab — the Standard Sets filter is pre-populated from your preferences. Use Edit Filters to change it for that report.
Assignment Builder
When in the Assignment Builder, if you select to search by standards, your preferred standard sets will be shown by default.
Click Add Questions, then Add next to the Standards filter.
You can turn off your standard preferences in the Assignment Builder by selecting Your Standards and then toggling to All Standards. You can then type in your preferred standard set.
In Subjects
Open a subject, click the Standards filter, then open the Standard Sets dropdown.
The sets under Suggestions are the ones that align with your preferences. (Typing in the search box searches every standard set, not just your preferred ones.)
View Solution
When viewing a question and clicking Show solution, the standards listed will be automatically filtered based on your preferences.
The Standards section shows Content preferences applied with a Turn Off option if you want to see every available standard for that question.
