What's New In This Release Block scheduling lets teachers now choose the days of the week that students work on each course so that schoolwork is customized to best fit your homeschooling schedule. For example, your student currently has five courses. You would like two of the courses to have schoolwork scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays only and three of the courses to have schoolwork scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only. Or, let's say you want to plan that on Fridays, you and your students go to Co-op or on field trips and you do not want your students to get behind in their schoolwork. No problem! You can easily reschedule schoolwork to specific school days to best fit your homeschooling schedule. Block scheduling is available when assigning new courses to students and when rescheduling existing courses for students. Monarch automatically regenerates due dates evenly over available school days. How to set up block scheduling for your students Monarch provides several ways to set up block scheduling for your students. Note Monarch requires a minimum of three (3) working school days for course scheduling. This means your Start and End dates for a course must include at least three working school days. 1. When assigning courses to students, you can choose the working schooldays (example B) for one or more courses. See "Assign courses to students" on page 12. 2. Two new links - Reschedule Work and Reschedule Courses - were added to your Dashboard to help you easily set up block scheduling for existing courses. See "Reschedule courses from your Dashboard page" on page 28. Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0 3

What's New In This Release When selecting block scheduling for existing courses, you select the student and then for each course, you select the working schooldays. 3. You can use the Assigned Work page to set up block scheduling for one course or all courses for a student. See "Reschedule courses from the Assigned Work page" on page 60. 4 Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0

What's New In This Release When setting up block scheduling for a single course, you choose the working schooldays this way. 4. You can also use the Calendar to set up block scheduling for courses by clicking the Reschedule all Courses button. See "Reschedule courses from your Calendar" on page 47. This action opens the page where you select the student and select the working school days for one or more courses. Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0 5

Let's Get Started Welcome to Monarch! Monarch is an innovative way to help you and your student(s) succeed. Monarch is perfect for your on-the-go schedule because the Monarch Christian homeschool curriculum is accessible online around the clock.

You received an email from the Monarch Team with your Teacher login information which included your Username and Password. Do NOT share this information with your student! As a Teacher, you have a different Monarch application than a student as well as special administration permissions that allow you to manage your homeschool settings, assign and unassign courses, reschedule courses, create custom projects for students, see answers to questions, grade students' work, and more. Log in and log out To log in to Monarch: 1. Click the URL link provided in the email. 2. Enter the Username and Password the Monarch Team gave you. 3. Click the Sign In button.

Dashboard page features and functions The first time you log in you see the End User License Agreement (EULA). Read through the agreement and click the I Agree button at the bottom to continue. To log out: When you are finished using Monarch, it is recommended that you click the Logout button (located at the far right of the main nav bar) to log out of the application. Dashboard page features and functions The page that you see every time you log in is the Home > Dashboard page. Think of the Dashboard as a control panel where you can easily control and manage your students and their curriculum, set up your school, get Help and provide feedback on Monarch features and functionality, establish school and non-school days on your school calendar, and more. Let's take a quick look at your first Dashboard so that you can quickly get your student(s) set up and learning! Later sections in this guide contain in-depth information about all the features and functions on the Dashboard. Note After you set up your curriculum and students, your Dashboard has minor changes. See "Changes to your Dashboard after curriculum and students are set up" on the facing page. Across the top of your Dashboard you see a bar that contains the Monarch logo on the left and a series of buttons on the right. This main navigation bar (nav bar) (example A) is always available as a navigation tool. 8 Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0

Changes to your Dashboard after curriculum and students are set up Most of the buttons on the main nav bar have a corresponding function box on the Dashboard page. The Home button returns you to your Dashboard. The Lesson Plan button takes you directly to the Assigned Work page for your students. The Lesson Plan function box on the Dashboard page contains the Calendar link and after you have set up your students, lists each student along with function links for each student. See "Changes to your Dashboard after curriculum and students are set up" below. The Messages button opens to your Inbox where you can read any messages sent by your student(s) or send them a message. The Messages function box on the Dashboard page contains the last five messages you've received and contains links to open your Inbox and easily create a new message. See "Read and Send Messages" on page 73. The Application function box does not have a corresponding button on the main nav bar. This function box contains the links to let you change your Monarch password, personal information, and theme. The Setup button takes you to the various school administration functions, such as modifying school-level assignment settings, setting up students, including modifying their individual settings, setting up curriculum, and managing your Monarch subscriptions. Setup has the same functions as the Administration function box on the Dashboard page. See "Administration tasks overview" on page 23. The Reports button opens to the available reports that you can run for your students. The Reports function box on the Dashboard page contains links to each report type so that you can quickly run that type of report for your students. See "Run Reports" on page 75. The Help button takes you to the page where you can access a copy of this guide, the Student Guide, links to the FREE Monarch Training Webinar, all of our contact information and a link to send us Feedback. See "Get Help and Access Other Resources" on page 79. The function toolbar (example B) located beneath the main nav bar is another type of toolbar. The tools (buttons) you see on this bar change based on your top-level tool selection on the main nav bar. Changes to your Dashboard after curriculum and students are set up After you have set up your curriculum and students and assigned courses to students, your Dashboard now has your students listed in the Lesson Plan function box as shown here.

When assigning a course, you also select the days of the week that the student should work on each course. Note When assigning a course, the chosen date range (begin and end dates) must be a minimum of three school days and days of the week combination should include school days. For more information about how to manage school and non-school days on your school calendar, see "Manage your school and non-school days" on page 43. Assigning courses to students creates the student lesson plans. 1. To assign curriculum to your first student, on the toolbar, click the Curriculum Setup tool to the right of Student Setup tool. A page similar to the one below appears the first time when no curriculum has been assigned. 12 Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0

Assign courses to students Note The page shown above only appears the first time when you have just set up your student(s) and no courses have been assigned. After one course is assigned to a student, you can use the Setup > Curriculum Setup > Subscriptions page or the Dashboard, Administration function box, Subscriptions link to assign courses. 2. Click the click here link to continue. The page you see next varies based on the type of subscription you purchased. In the example below, a Family Yearly Subscription was purchased. If you also have a Course Subscription for electives, a box appears below the Family Yearly Subscription box where you can assign those courses as well.

Grade levels are listed across the top, just above the subject area boxes. 6. Select the grade level you want for the student. Selecting the grad level may change the name of the subjects offered. Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0 13

To assign a subject in another grade level, click the other grade level, and then click the check box beside the course in that grade level. The selected subjects (courses) appear in a list under the student's name. Next, you need to select the dates for the student to begin working on their schoolwork and the date the student should complete all of the work for these courses as well as the school days you want the school work scheduled on. All of the courses in the list will use the same start dates, end dates and school days. However, if you want to assign different start and end dates and school days for a course, click the Delete X to remove the selected course from the list. Then, after you have set the Start and End dates and school days for the courses in the list, go back and add the removed course again. Note Monarch requires a minimum of three (3) working school days for course scheduling. This means your Start and End dates for a course must include at least three working school days. 8. Under When will the student be working on these courses, do the following: 14 Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0

Preview student assignments Monarch uses the Start and End dates or the select school year and the selected school days to create the student lesson plan. It looks at all of the available school days between the start and end dates and distributes all of the assignments in each course evenly across the available school days. 9. When finished, click the active Assign Now button. 10. If you have more students, follow the steps again to assign courses to each student. At this point, your student can log in and begin working! Preview student assignments Let s preview a student assignment and see what your student can expect. First, you should know how most Monarch lessons are structured. A typical lesson structure has: An Introduction to the lesson. The Introduction may have text to read, a picture, video, slide show, audio file, or some combination of these. Objectives or goals. An objective or goal tells your student what they should know when they have completed the lesson. Students should get in the habit of returning to the objectives when they finish their lesson and make sure they can do what the objectives say. Vocabulary words. Most lessons have one or more vocabulary words used in the lesson. The student should become familiar with all of these words. Each of the vocabulary words is recorded. Students can click the icon to 16 Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0

Preview student assignments hear the word. Below the list of words there are often spelling and vocabulary games as well as flash cards to help with this. Body of the lesson comes next. Sometimes lessons are broken up into multiple sections. Be sure students read all sections of the lesson. Several built-in tools are available to students in assignments: A Text to Speech tool allows students to have assignment text or a section of text read out loud to them. Students see a small speaker icon ( ) on the far right-hand side of their lesson. In the Teacher application, you see a Speak as drop-down list in the upper left-corner of an assignment preview page so that you can listen to the lesson text being spoken. See "Listen to audio version of assignments" on page 19. A Print ( ) tool lets students print their lessons, but not the questions. In the Teacher application, you can print assignments, questions, and the answer key. See "Print assignment text, problems and answers" on page 63. Important When you look at the lesson in the Teacher application, you see a Lesson Feedback button at the top of the page. If you come across anything in the lesson our curriculum team should know about or something you have a question or issue about, please click that button and let us know. The website is monitored and we do respond. See "Send feedback to the Monarch Team" on page 79. In the Teacher application, the lesson is in the top section of the page and problems are displayed in the lower section of the page. In the Student application, students toggle between the lesson content and the problems by clicking the Read and Questions buttons in the assignment toolbar.

Set Up and Manage Your School Because you have the Teacher role, you are responsible for the administration (set up and management) of your school. When the Monarch Team originally set up your access to Monarch, we used default settings for all of the school-level settings, such as the number of attempts allowed for problems, whether or not the student could skip assignments, how assignments are weighted for grading, and the overall grade scale. We chose these default settings based on years of experience in education, but we know that you as the parent know your learner best, so we designed Monarch to let you make the changes you need to best meet the needs of your school and individual student. Note Generally speaking, it might be best if you keep the default settings, and then make changes as necessary. School-level settings are inherited by each student, so any changes you make at the school level apply to all students. However, you can customize the school settings for an individual student or for one subject for a single student. It is up to you. Administration tasks overview The Setup button on the main nav bar or the Administration function box on the Home > Dashboard page allow you to manage your school and students. School Setup takes you to the school level Assignment Settings page where you can customize assignment settings for your school and navigate to any of the other settings (School Year, Quiz/Test, Grade) pages to customize other school settings for your school. See "Change school assignment settings" on the next page. School Years takes you to the School Setup > School Year page where you can add, edit, and delete school years. A school year is an easy way to assign and track student work. Think of a school year as a defined semester, term, or special time frame. See "Manage school years" on page 27.

For example, you may want to limit the number of problem attempts for one student in Language Arts or Math. You can do that here. See "Manage Subscriptions and Assigned Courses" on page 35. Reschedule Courses lets you reschedule and modify the working school days (block scheduling) for one or all active courses for one or more students.

View and Manage Your School Calendar Your school calendar plays an important role for you and your students. You, as the Teacher, see the assignments each student has assigned by day. Students also have a school calendar, but they only see their own assignments. You, as the school administrator, also set school and non-school days on the school calendar. Working school days determine the pacing of assignments for courses. See "Manage your school and non-school days" on page 43. To access your school calendar, click Lesson Plan, and then click Calendar, or on the Home > Dashboard page, in the Lesson Plan box, click the Calendar link. What you can see and do on your school calendar As mentioned previously, on your school calendar you can see the assignments each student has assigned by day. Colors on the calendar let you easily see if assignments are: Overdue because the assignment titles display in red text. Blocked because pink highlighting appears behind the assignment title text. A blocked assignment prevents a student from moving forward in that subject. For more information about unblocking assignments, see "Unblock and block assignments" on page 62. Complete because gray highlighting appears behind the assignment title text. You can also see and set up custom events or activities on the calendar. School-level events and activities are listed immediately below the day/date while individual student events and activities are listed immediately below the student s name on the date(s) of the event or activity. See "Manage events and activities" on page 45. Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0 41

What you can see and do on your school calendar Additional calendar features let you: Click the drop-down box (example A) to toggle between the School Week view or the Full Week (Sun. through Sat.) view. Reschedule all subjects for a student using the Reschedule all Courses button (example B). See "Reschedule courses from your Calendar" on page 47. See the total school days and the number of school days left for each student (example C). See if a day is marked as a Non-School Day or a School Day (example D). This is important to know if you want to do block scheduling of courses. See "Manage your school and non-school days" on the facing page. If all the assignments for a student cannot be shown, a More link (example E) opens another window so that you can see the entire list of assignments for that day for a student. 42 Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0

Manage your school and non-school days Manage your school and non-school days When your school was set up, by default, working "school" days are set up for Monday through Friday and Saturday and Sunday are set up as "non-school" days. This means that when you assign a course (or courses) to a student, you select a school year or set the begin and end dates and you select the working school days. Note Monarch requires a minimum of three (3) working school days for course scheduling. This means your Start and End dates for a course must include at least three working school days. Typically, for the working school days, Monarch shows Monday through Friday as automatically selected as shown in this example. Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0 43

Manage your school and non-school days This means Monarch spreads schoolwork across the"school" days of Monday through Friday for the specified time frame. However, you can select specific working school days for a course to set up block scheduling. In this example of a Full Week calendar, Saturday and Sunday do not have any schoolwork scheduled because they are considered non-working schooldays. In addition, most recognized holidays are automatically set up as "non-school" days. For example, typically Labor Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Day and the following Friday, and the week of Christmas, are automatically set as recognized holidays. This means, for courses with Begin and End dates that have recognized holidays included in the time frame, no schoolwork is scheduled for those recognized holidays. If desired, for your school schedule, you can change a school day to a non-school day and change a non-school day to a school day. When the change is made for school or non-school day, Monarch automatically adjusts all uncompleted schoolwork for courses within the time frame. For example, you have a local co-op for the next eight Fridays. You can make those "school" days into "non-school" days and Monarch will adjust your student's schoolwork. 44 Monarch Teacher User Guide v4.0

How problems are scored Rework: If you want the student to attempt the problem again, you can click this button to clear the attempt counter and reassign this problem only to the student. See "Clear problems and reassign" below. Teacher Skip: Lets you permit the student to skip the problem and not have it factored into the grading of the assignment, unit, or subject score. See "Skip problems in lessons" on page 54. Print Problems Review: Lets you to print all of the problems with the student answers. This makes a great study tool. "Print assignment text, problems and answers" on page 63. Print Problems Blank: Lets you print the all of the problems without the answers. Note At the current time, there are two problem types that do not print - drag and drop problems and graphic multiple choice. How problems are scored Problems are scored based on their point value. Each problem and assignment score is a percentage based on the total number of points received, divided by the total number of points possible. Point values vary from problem to problem, depending on the number and type of answers required. Here are a couple of examples of how lesson scores are calculated: If you have 10 problems, you can receive a total of 10 points. If you miss 1, then you have a total of 9 points out of a possible 10, and your percentage grade is 90%. If you have 10 problems, but one of those problems is worth 2 points, then you can receive a total of 11 points. If you miss 1, then you have a total of 10 points out of a possible 11, and your percentage grade is 91%. If you have 10 problems, but one of these is a 9-point sort problem, then you can receive a total of 18 points. If you sort 3 of the items in the sort problem incorrectly, but get all the other problems in the assignment right, you will receive a total of 15 points with a percentage grade of 83%. Clear problems and reassign As the Teacher, you can open a student's lesson and clear the work and attempts for problems and reassign them.

Then, you upload the essay or project file into a Special Project assignment within the unit. Every unit in Monarch courses includes a non-assigned, blank Special Project assignment. You assign the uploaded file to the Special Project assignment and then set a start date and end date for the Special Project assignment. A Special Project assignment is accessible to the student as soon as the start date has been reached. You can unassign and reassign Special Projects just as you can standard projects and lessons. Once the student completes the Special Project and has submitted it for grading, you will see the item for the student on the Lesson Plan > Grading Tasks page.
