Some Summit K12 activities are designed to be completed in sequential order because they follow a learning progression. Typically, these activities are ordered in a way that gives students opportunities to practice a skill or watch a lesson video before completing some type of formative assessment.
Add to gradebook will pass student grades back to your Google Classroom gradebook. This automatically applies after choosing an activity to add to your Google Classroom course but can be unchecked if desired.
Grade passback functionality will vary depending on the subject and type of activity that is deployed. Because of the unique way activities are designed on Summit K12, it is recommended to use Summit K12 reports to get the most robust view of your students’ progress.

Accessing Summit K12 Teacher Resources on Google Classroom
Teachers with an active Summit K12 account are granted access to instructional resources that can be used to support your Summit K12 implementation. Key features will vary according to your Summit K12 program but may include lessons, study guides, graphic organizers, parent letters, and more.
1. We recommend teachers add a Topic to create a new section to organize their instructional resources.
2. Add items from Teacher Resources before selecting Add content.
3. Organize the deployed resources within the topic created and select the deployed content to access your resources directly within Google Classroom*.
*When items from Teacher Resources are published and visible to students in their Google Classroom course, student attempts to access content will result in an error.
