Hero offers schools the opportunity to share and track student progress through sets of goals. (Scope and Sequence function the same for these purposes.)
Your school can choose to use any of the sets of goals offered by Hero or develop your own. If you decide to develop your own, these goals must be levelled in some way e.g. Level 1, 2 ,3, 4 or Emergent, Novice, Practitioner, Expert in order to automatically generate Best fit levels.
TO ADD A NEW SET OF GOALS

You can categorise curriculum content types, giving a more structured and meaningful way to manage learning pathways. This provides a more comprehensive breakdown of learning pathways, making it easier to identify all aspects of the curriculum and track full coverage.
When you are adding content you can select from a range of content types. Choose the one that is most appropriate for the content of the goal set.
*NB When editing a goal set that has been provided to Hero by an external source (eg a 3rd party provider or the Ministry or Department of Education) the goal type will be locked and the content of the goals will not be editable.
