How to Track Your Badges

You can often track your earned badges through your community profile page. This page will display all the badges you’ve earned, along with a description of how each badge was obtained.

 

I’m not sure if I’ll have time to earn badges.  How does everyone find the time to do this?  Do you find it beneficial to boost student achievement? 


Hi, ​@BChild !  Fair concern, and we know that your time is valuable and limited!  We’ve intentionally set up our badging system so there are some opportunities to earn badges for things like posting (like you just did!), “liking” others’ comments, asking questions, etc.  If you find it motivating, great!  If not, no worries - the goal is to recognize your participation here and let you know that we appreciate having you as part of our Community.

 

As far as student achievement, we feel that the more you know about using our products, the better you’re able to implement them in your classroom.  So, maybe that means you see a post about a Resource you didn’t know we had before and want to try out, perhaps you find some helpful information about using a data report that you hadn’t seen previously… OR, maybe you’ve got a question about a situation you’re experiencing, and would like to pose it to the group -- we’re here to help!  So, indirectly, your involvement in this group could definitely lead to increased student outcomes - that’s definitely one of the goals of all of us being here together! 😁


How do  you get the badge for completing your units in LETRS?


Hi ​@LitCoach! Great question 😊 All you need to do is send an email to community@lexialearning.com with the LETRS certificate(s) you’ve earned as proof of completion!   


@Jamie B. urged me to finish my profile so I can check to see my progress in LETRs training units.  I think I have accomplished this…. though I am unsure as to how to check my progress…. or to change my avatar.  Maybe someone could help?


Hi, ​@Akapalin !  To change your Avatar - check out the screenshot below.  Click Community in the dropdown at the top of your screen, and then you’ll see a box to choose your new character.  For LETRS, I just took a peek and it looks like you’ve completed Volume 1 - congratulations!  I can award you the Volume 1 LETRS completion badge - you’ll see that on your Community profile in the next few minutes. 😀

 


Thank you for the information.


So funny. “It’s not a Pulitzer, but….” lol. Love this.


Your badges remind me of the “brag tags” that my students earn by displaying positive behaviors and academic achievements. 😍


@Weeksa haha, very similar!  We’re hoping you’ll want to collect and show off as many badges as possible, just like the students collect brag tags or desk pets! 😉
