EnlightenAI has two kinds of assignment, and picking the right one matters. A District assessment is something your district shared with you — its results roll up to district reporting. A Classroom assignment is your own. Choosing wrong is the most common setup mistake we see, so here's how to tell them apart.

At a glance: Add assignment → Select your assignment type → District assessment (shared by your district, rolls up) vs Classroom assignment (your own).

When you click Add assignment, EnlightenAI asks where the work comes from. This choice matters — it decides whether the assignment is connected to your district or is yours alone.

Choose District assessment when you are grading something your district shared with you — a common assessment given through Illuminate, Google, or Canvas. Think of it as the district handing you a ready-made AI assistant: you just hand it the student work. Results roll up to your district, so leaders can see growth across schools. If your work should count toward district reporting, pick this.

Choose Classroom assignment when it is your own assignment — you are building an AI assistant for your classroom from scratch (or importing work just for you to grade). It stays in your account and does not roll up to the district. Great for day-to-day work that is yours alone. A common mistake is creating a classroom assignment for work your district actually shared — when in doubt, check for it under District assessment first.
