Using the Teacher Gradebook in the Staff View

Use the Gradebook tab in the Staff view to enter and track the following for students in your course sections:

• assignment grades
• term grades

Before you begin to use the gradebook

Before using the gradebook, you need to set up some information. This includes defining the types of assignments you give and creating your own grade scales (if you cannot use the districtgrade scales for all of your assignments).

You can also set a preference to have studies appear in your gradebook.

Using the gradebook

After you have set up your assignments, grade scales, etc., you can begin to use the gradebook for your daily assignment and end-of-term grading. The gradebook updates student term grades based on the assignment grades you enter, and any weight you apply to them.

You can use your gradebook to enter traditional scores, or standards-based scores.

Note: The Gradebook tab in the Staff view displays a list of your scheduled classes. If you are a substitute teacher covering another teacher's classes and you were granted gradebook access, select Covering Classes from the Filter menu to see your list of classes.

Note: You can also use the gradebook to enter your term grades at the end of a grading term only.

At the end of each grading term

At the end of the term, you post your grades to transcripts. This involves saving and sending your final grades and comments in the post columns the district provides in your gradebook.
