 How to Assign Student Work Using Schoology 


This option will require your school administrator to configure TeacherMade as an external tool in Schoology. Once it is added, you will be able to add any TeacherMade worksheet as an External Tool to your course materials. TeacherMade will automatically push grades to Schoology as students complete their assignments.

  1. Select the Schoology option 

  2. Then click ‘Next’ 


On Step 3 of 3 you will be able to choose:
