Adding learning goals and background to an existing class

The Learning Goals Background feature helps educators provide context for their class, allowing Flint to better understand and meet student needs. Once set, this information automatically applies to all activities within the group, ensuring consistency across your content.

In summary, this setting:

• Provides context for how Flint should respond to and prompt students within activity sessions in the class
• Can have an input up to 1,000 characters
• Should include information like:
  • Grade level
  • Subject
  • Key learning objectives
  • Class demographics or special considerations (e.g., learning accommodations)
• Is only available for class owners to set and change
• Example: “This is a 10th grade U.S. History class with 25 students. There’s a wide variety of learning capabilities, with five students reading below level and requiring extra support.”

Duplicate this activity to help with writing your learning goals and background!

Note: This activity is meant to help you brainstorm, we highly suggest reading it over and adding/removing whatever you want from the final product. Once it's completed, simply copy and paste it over to your learning goals and background!

On the class page, click on “curriculum” on the left side navigation.

The “Learning goals and background” field will be available in the class settings panel. Make sure to click “Update” once you’ve added your context!
