The Class Dashboard is the main work area in GradeBook for teachers. On the left side of the Teacher Home Page, click the class link to access the Class Dashboard for that class.
On the Class Dashboard, the column on the left side of the screen displays the students in the selected class. The middle column provides access to various functions including attendance, lesson plans, curriculum, assignments, marks, grading scales, calculations setup, reports, and student search. The column on the right displays assignments and lesson plans for the selected class and grading period.
Links to some of the functions may or may not display on the Class Dashboard depending on whether or not a specific feature has been enabled for your district or school. Similarly, links to some of the functions may or may not display based on whether or not the class uses the Custom Setup 2 grading scale option. For example, the Standards Based Grid link does not appear unless the class is set up to use standards-based report cards.
