Enter Assessment Marks on Standards-Based Grid

In classes that use the Custom Setup 2 grading scale option for standards-based report cards, you can enter marks for one or more assessments for each student in a class but only for assessments that use the calculation method None. This calculation method displays as Manual below the assessment name on the Standards-Based Grid. If the assessments use the Average, Last Achieved, Highest Achieved, Power Law, YTD Average, YTD Last Achieved, YTD Highest Achieved, or YTD Power Law calculation methods, then you cannot enter marks.

To view assignments associated with an assessment mark, click the assessment mark or number, which does not include excluded assignments, in parentheses in the assessment column to open the Progress By Student screen.

1.On the Teacher Home Page or Class Dashboard, click Standards Based Grid.

2.If you entered the Standards-Based Grid from the Teacher Home Page, select the class you want to view in the drop-down list. If you entered from the Class Dashboard, that class displays.

3.The current quarter displays in the Period drop-down list. You may select a different grading period, if desired.

4.Select the desired class group in the Group drop-down list, if necessary.

Note: The assessment name displays at the top of the column. You can hover your cursor over the assessment name to display the full description. The calculation method used for the assessment displays in parentheses directly below the assessment name. Manual denotes that no calculations were used and that None was selected as the calculation method on the Grading Scale Setup screen or Assessments tab in the Report Card Builder. You can also click the heading column to open the assessment window, which displays graphs that group together students whom received the same mark for that assessment.

6.Enter the appropriate mark or select the appropriate mark or mark code in the drop-down list for an assessment for a student. Your changes save automatically.

Note: The area available for entering marks is based on the mark type that was selected for the assessment when the report card was created.

Note: Press the Tab key to move from field to field in each row and use the arrow keys to navigate through manual entry fields on the page. You also have the option when entering marks for a student to either Fill Column, which does not override previously entered marks, or Clear Column for each assessment.
