GradeBook Setup

To create assignments, you must first set up categories of classroom activities, such as classwork, homework, quizzes, tests, etc., and then assign a mark type to these categories. Creating assignment types also lets you share individual assignments that use those categories.

GradeBook allows a variety of mark types including points, letters, percentages, pass/fail, and more, but it is recommended that you use points as the mark type for all assignment types. GradeBook then translates the student averages into the appropriate letter grade based on the grading scale setup option you select.

It is not recommended that you use both letter and number mark types within the same class if the class uses traditional report cards because GradeBook is then unable to calculate an average. In classes that use standards-based report cards, it is possible to combine letter and number mark types within the same class to calculate students’ grades depending on the calculation method used for each assessment. But generally, best practice is not to combine letter and number mark types within the same assessment calculation. See “Custom Setup 2 Grading Scale for Standards-Based Report Cards.”

Assignment types must also be associated with the classes that will use them. If you want to share assignments between classes, you must use the same assignment types in all of the classes that share assignments. Assignment types that are used in classes that have been shared with you by another teacher display with

If necessary, you can also quickly convert assignment types that are used in multiple classes.

Before you begin creating assignments, you must set up categories of classroom activities such as classwork, homework, quizzes, tests, etc., and assign a mark type to each category. GradeBook allows a variety of mark types including points, letters, percentages, pass/fail, and more. However, points is the recommended mark type for all assignment types.

1.On the Teacher Home Page, below Average Calc Setup, select Set Up Assignment Types.

Note: Each assignment type name and abbreviation must be unique—otherwise, duplicate assignment type names display in the Assignment Type drop-down when you create assignments. If you use each of the duplicate assignment types, this can cause confusion on marks screens or in ParentAccess.

2.On the Assignment Types screen, in the Name column, enter the name for the assignment type.

	Caution: Do not use both letter and number mark types within the same class because GradeBook cannot calculate an average. Use points as the mark type for all assignment types when calculating an average.

Note: The mark types selected for the assignment types determine the type of mark you can enter in the Mark field throughout GradeBook.

5.(Optional) Select the checkbox in the All column to use the assignment type in all of the classes.

6.(Optional) Select the checkbox for each class to use the assignment type in one or multiple classes.

Note: To enable assignment sharing, you must use the same assignment types in all of the classes with which you want to share assignments. You can automatically convert one assignment type to another by using the Assignment Conversion Tool.

Note: You have the option to view assignment types in All Classes, All Primary Classes, All Shared Classes, or in a specific class or group.

You can use the Assignment Conversion Tool to automatically convert all assignments within one or multiple classes from one assignment type to another.

1.On the Assignment Types screen, in the Assignment Conversion Tool area, in the Convert all assignments with type drop-down list, select the assignment type you want to convert to another type.

2.In the to type drop-down list, select the type to which you want the assignment type to be converted.

3.Select the appropriate class(es) or class group that use(s) the assignment type you want to convert.

Note: You can convert assignment types only for classes for which you are the primary teacher.

If the conversion was successful, the following message displays: “Your assignments were successfully converted.”

You can delete an assignment type only if it is not being used by an assignment in a class. If the assignment type you want to delete is being used in an assignment, use the Assignment Conversion Tool to convert that assignment type to another assignment type. Then, you can delete the desired assignment type.

1.On the Teacher Home Page, below Average Calc Setup, click Set Up Assignment Types.

2.On the Assignment Types screen, select the checkbox in the Del? column of the assignment type you want to delete.

Note: For classes using the Custom Setup 2 grading scale, if in the Mark Type column the mark type is disabled (grayed out), the assignment type is being used by an assignment that has marks entered, and it cannot be changed or deleted. To allow changes, you must first remove the marks from the assignments using that assignment type.

GradeBook provides many options for setting up your GradeBook calculations. Options for calculating students’ grades using straight averages or weighted averages are available on the Average Calculation Setup screen. GradeBook is set up, by default, to use straight averages and automatically calculate students' grades after you enter assignment marks, change existing marks in the GradeBook, or change assignments.

You may choose to use weighted averages and recalculate grades manually. You also have the option of using the same calculation method for each grading period or different calculation methods for each grading period.

GradeBook provides options for calculating students' grades using straight averages or weighted averages.

•Straight averages are calculated using points or percentages for assignments in the current grading period by adding the total earned and dividing by the total possible.

For example, if the student receives assignment marks of 95%, 93%, 98%, 88%, 83%, and 74%, the average is calculated as follows:

•If letter grades are used for assignments, the straight average is calculated based on the point value associated with each letter grade. For example, if A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, and F = 0, these point values are used to calculate the average by adding the earned point values together and dividing by the number of marks given.

Building on this example, if the student earns three A’s, two B’s, and one C on assignments, the average is calculated as follows:

•Weighted averages by assignment type are calculated by creating a straight average, as explained previously, for each assignment type used in the class, and then an overall average is calculated by averaging those together based on the weight of each assignment type. For example, if the teacher uses Test, Quiz, and Homework types that are weighted 50%, 30%, and 20% respectively, the system calculates an average for each of the three types using either the points/percentage straight average or the letter grade average, and then an overall average using the weights for each type.

Building on this example, if the student’s averages for each type are 75% for Test, 85% for Quiz, and 95% for Homework, the overall average is calculated as follows:

Alternatively, if the teacher does not give any Quiz assignments during the grading period, and the student earned 75% for Test and 95% for Homework, the overall average is calculated as follows:

GradeBook then translates these averages into the appropriate letter grade for the report card based on the grading scale used in the class. Grading scales are defined by the GradeBook system manager and selected by the teacher during the initial GradeBook set up. The grading scale should include both a percentage range for each letter grade as well as a point range in the event that teachers are using letter grades for their assignments.

Using straight averages is the default option for calculating averages for report cards. You have the option to assign different weights to individual assignments, even if you choose to use straight averages to calculate students' grades. It is only necessary to follow this procedure if you set up weighted averages and later decide to switch back to using straight averages.

1.On the Teacher Home Page, below Average Calc Setup, click Set Up Calc Methods & Weights.

2.On the Average Calculation Setup screen, in the Class drop-down list, select the appropriate class.

GradeBook provides several different options when using weighted averages to allow for flexibility in calculating students' grades. You may use any of the following grade calculation options:

•Use straight averages, points as the mark type for all assignment types, and assign different values to individual assignments.

•Use weighted averages and assign different weight values to each assignment type.

•Use weighted averages, assign different weight values to each assignment type, and assign different values to individual assignments.

•Use weighted averages and straight averages in different grading periods in the same school year.

If you use straight averages to calculate students' grades and points as the mark type for assignment types, you can weight grades by assigning a different point value to each assignment type. For example, homework assignments may be worth 5 points, while quizzes are worth 25 points.

You can set averages to calculate using weights for each assignment type used in the class. GradeBook calculates students' averages first by averaging the assignments for each type and then calculates an overall average by averaging those grades according to the weights assigned to each type. For example, if the weight of homework = 1, quizzes = 1, and tests = 2, GradeBook calculates homework as 25%, quizzes as 25%, and tests as 50% of the student’s average.

If you prefer to use a factor-based weighting method where each assignment counts a specified number of times in the overall average, use the straight average calculation, and then change the weight of the individual assignments as desired. For example, if you want all tests to count three times, change the Weight field for each test assignment to 3. See “Weight Individual Assignments.”

1.On the Teacher Home Page, below Average Calc Setup, click Set Up Calc Methods & Weights.

2.On the Average Calculation Setup screen, in the Class drop-down list, select the appropriate class.

4.In the Assignment Type Weight field, enter a weight value for each assignment type displayed.

Note: When you are entering weights, you can use simple numbers or numbers that represent a percent of the student’s overall grade. For example, if the weight of homework = 1, quizzes = 1, and test = 2, you can also enter the weight as 25 for homework, 25 for quizzes, and 50 for test.

Note: An extra credit assignment type cannot be used as a weighted average because the system cannot divide by zero.

Note: If you leave the Weight field blank for an assignment type, it is counted as 0. Assignments using that assignment type are not calculated in the students’ averages.

Set Up GradeBook to Calculate Grades
Using Different Calculation Methods for Each Grading Period

GradeBook can calculate students' grades even if assignment types have different weights in each grading period. If you choose to use different calculation methods for each grading period at the beginning of the school year, GradeBook does not use the calculation method selected as a default option for the remainder of the school year. You must select the desired calculation method at the beginning of each grading period even if you are using straight averages.

1.On the Teacher Home Page, below Average Calc Setup, click Set Up Calc Methods & Weights.

2.On the Average Calculation Setup screen, in the Class drop-down list, select the appropriate class.

3.Below Choose a calculation option, select Use different calculations for each grading period.

Note: The calculation method setup box may be available only for the current reporting period. You may have to wait until the end of the current reporting period to select the calculation method for the next reporting period.

4.In the Select the Calculation Method drop-down list for each grading period, select one of the following options:

Note: If you select Weighted Average, enter a weight value for each assignment type displayed in the Assignment Type Weight box. When you are entering weights, you can use simple numbers or numbers that represent a percent of the student’s overall grade. For example, if the weight of homework = 1, quizzes = 1, and test = 2, you can also enter the weight as 25 for homework, 25 for quizzes, and 50 for test.

5.Continue to select the appropriate calculation method if all of the grading periods are available. If not, return to this screen at the start of each grading period to select your calculation method.

In addition to calculating students' grades using weight values assigned to assignment types, GradeBook can also calculate students' grades using weight values of individual assignments. When you create an assignment, on the Assignment Details screen, enter a number other than 1 in the Weight field that reflects the weight value of the individual assignment. Changing the weight to 0 results in the assignment being excluded from all student averages.

Use individual assignment weights if you prefer to use a factor-based weighting method rather than averaging assignment type averages. If you use weighted averages by assignment type, changing the individual assignment weight causes it to count the specified number of times in the average for the assignment type; however, that overall average is still calculated using the weight assigned to that assignment type.

GradeBook is set up by default to automatically calculate students’ averages each time you enter assignment marks, change existing assignment marks in the grade book, or change assignments. However, you may change this setting to manual calculation.

1.On the Teacher Home Page, below Average Calc Setup, click Set Up Calc Methods & Weights.

2.On the Average Calculation Setup screen, in the Class drop-down list, select the appropriate class.

3.Below Choose the calculation frequency option, select I will recalculate the gradebook when needed.

Note: To calculate averages manually, on the Class Dashboard, click Calculate Averages.

GradeBook is set up by default to automatically calculate students' averages after you enter assignment marks, change existing marks in the grade book, or change assignments. However, you may choose to calculate averages manually. This may be necessary even when the grade book is set to automatically recalculate student averages. For example, if an assignment is moved from one grading period to another, it is necessary to manually recalculate student averages.

2.On the Class Dashboard, hover your cursor over a student's name to view the average and year-to-date (YTD) average if YTD grade calculations are enabled for the report card used in the class.

Note: You can also view student averages on the Student Progress Report, Class Progress Report, Assignments Marks, GradeBook Grid, and Report Card Entry screens.

The YTD calculation method can be used in secondary (traditional) report cards to provide an ongoing calculation toward the students’ final grades. The calculation is based on the way the system manager defines the final grade on the report card to calculate, including reporting period grades, exams, and respective weights. Since this calculation is based on the final grade calculation, it is not necessarily a true year-to-date average of the assignments in the teacher’s GradeBook, but rather a reflection of what the student’s final grade on the report card would be if entered at that time. Year-to-date calculations are not available for interims or standards-based report cards.

The Year-to-date calculation is set up in the report card after the system calculations have been defined. This calculation can be used whether Basic Calculations or Advanced Calculations are used in the report card, whether the grades entered on the report cards are numeric averages or letter grades, and uses either the GradeBook average or the report card grade in the calculation based on the system calculation. For example, as illustrated in the “YTD Calculations Based on System Calculations” flowchart, if the final grade system calculation uses averages from the grade book, then the YTD calculation uses averages from the grade book. If letter grades are used on the report card and in the final grade calculation, then the YTD calculation is based on the point value equivalent for each letter grade and the average displays in terms of a point average.

Once the YTD calculation has been enabled in the report card, GradeBooks must be recalculated to reflect the YTD average. Upon recalculation, the YTD average displays on the Class Dashboard and Assignment Marks screen when users hover their cursors over student names and on the GradeBook Grid and Report Card Entry screen.

GradeBook offers many calculation methods for teachers using standards-based report cards. When creating the report cards, the GradeBook system manager can assign a calculation method as the default to each assessment on the report card. A teacher may change those calculation methods on the Grading Scale Setup screen.

GradeBook is set up by default to use straight averages and automatically calculate students' grades after you enter assignment marks, change existing marks in the GradeBook, or change assignments. You may choose to use weighted averages, use different calculations for each reporting period, and recalculate grades manually.

The following calculation methods are available only in classes that use the Custom Setup 2 grading scale option for standards-based report cards:

•None – Grade or mark is not calculated by the GradeBook and teachers must enter the appropriate mark manually.

•Average – Calculates average using points or percentages for assignments in the current grading period. If letter grades are used for assignments, the average is calculated based on the point value associated with each letter grade. For example, if A = 4 and B = 3, etc., these point values are used to calculate the average. For further explanation of how averages are calculated, see examples in “Calculation Methods Using Straight or Weighted Averages.”

•Power Law – Also known as Method of Mounting Evidence, it is an industry-standard algorithm that applies less weight to assignment marks given earlier in the reporting period than to assignment marks given later in the reporting period; the formula tries to predict future marks by adjusting the weight of assignment marks already received

This calculation method can be used with numeric as well as alphabetical mark types and must meet the following conditions:

•All the assignments associated with the assessment must have the same point value

Power Law Calculation Placing with Less Emphasis on Earlier than Later Assignment Marks

Power Law Formula (Method of Mounting Evidence)

•Highest Achieved – The highest mark achieved on an assignment in the current grading period. If points are used as the mark type, GradeBook translates the point value into a percentage for each assignment to determine the highest mark. If letter grades are used as the mark type, the letter grade with the highest point value is used. Missing assignments are not included.

•Last Achieved – The last mark achieved on an assignment based on the assignment due date, not including missing assignments, in the current grading period. If points are used as the mark type, GradeBook translates the last mark achieved point value into a percentage to display as the student's grade.

•Median – Calculates average using the middle value of the sorted list of marks in the current reporting period. Given an even number of marks, the two middle values are averaged to calculate the median. All assignments must have the same points possible. Assignment type weights and individual assignment weights cannot be used with this method. This method can be used only on new mark entry screens and is not compatible with classic mark entry.

•Mode – Calculates average using the mark that occurs most frequently in the set of values in the current reporting period. Given multiple mark types occur with the highest frequency, the mark with the higher value is used. All assignments must have the same points possible. Assignment type weights and individual assignment weights cannot be used with this method. This method can be used only on new mark entry screens and is not compatible with classic mark entry.

•YTD Average – Calculates average using points or percentages for assignments from the beginning of the school year to the end of the current grading period. If letter grades are used for assignments, the average is calculated based on the point value associated with each letter grade. For example, if A = 4 and B = 3, etc., these point values are used to calculate the average.

•YTD Power Law – Industry-standard algorithm that applies less weight for assignment marks given earlier in the school year than for assignment marks given through the end of the current grading period of the school year. The same conditions must be met as for Power Law.

•YTD Highest Achieved – The highest mark achieved on an assignment from the beginning of the school year to the end of the current grading period. If points are used as the mark type, GradeBook translates the point value into a percentage for each assignment to determine the highest mark. If letter grades are used as the mark type, the letter grade with the highest point value is used. Missing assignments are not included.

•YTD Last Achieved – The last mark achieved on an assignment based on the assignment due date, not including missing assignments, from the beginning of the school year to the end of the current grading period. If points are used as the mark type, GradeBook translates the last mark achieved point value into a percentage to display as the student's grade.

•YTD Median – Calculates average using the middle value of the sorted list of marks from the beginning of the current school year to the end of the current reporting period. Given an even number of marks, the two middle values are averaged to calculate the median. All assignments must have the same points possible. Assignment type weights and individual assignment weights cannot be used with this method. This method can be used only on new mark entry screens and is not compatible with classic mark entry.

•YTD Mode – Calculates average using the mark that occurs most frequently in the set of values from the beginning of the current school year to the end of the current reporting period. Given multiple mark types occur with the highest frequency, the mark with the higher value is used. All assignments must have the same points possible. Assignment type weights and individual assignment weights cannot be used with this method. This method can be used only on new mark entry screens and is not compatible with classic mark entry.

These calculation methods do not include excluded assignments marks. Where included, assignments marked as missing count as 0 if numeric mark types are used or they count as the point value of the letter grade with the lowest point value if letter grades are used.

Grading scales are defined in GradeBook by your GradeBook system manager. The custom grading scale options in GradeBook can accommodate using traditional and standards-based report cards.. You can assign a grading scale to an entire class and then assign a different scale to one or two individual students. You must select a grading scale and calculation method, if you are using the Custom Setup 2 option, to instruct GradeBook how to translate average marks into report card grades. You can select from the following grading scale options for traditional report cards for standards-based report cards:

•Default – Software automatically uses the default grading scale set up by your GradeBook administrator for the selected class and grade level; no setup is required to use this option

•Custom Setup 1 for Traditional Report Cards – You designate the appropriate grading scale for the class and override that grading scale for individual students as necessary; used for traditional and secondary report cards.

•Custom Setup 2 for Standards-Based Report Cards – Map assignments to your report card assessments, enabling GradeBook to automatically calculate student grades for each assessment on the report card. The report card and assessments are custom defined by the school district. This option also allows you to override the grading scales for individual students as necessary.

The Default option can be used for traditional report cards only. GradeBook uses the default grading scale set up by your GradeBook system manager for the selected class and grade level. If you use this option, you do not have to change anything on the Grading Scale Setup screen.

Note: If you leave the grade book set on the Default option and a student’s average appears as a question mark (?) or does not display anything, GradeBook may have been unable to find a default grading scale. You should use Custom Setup 1. The Default option does not allow overriding the grading scale for individual students.

Note: If you try to change a class’s grading scale from Custom Setup 2 to Default, you receive the message below. This message displays even if the class has no assignments. The warning is alerting the user that changing a grading scale setup option after assignments have been created may require you to convert the assignments to the proper format for that grading style. Once the grading scale change is made and until the assignment conversion is completed, the user is unable to see the previously created assignments in the class.

If you already have assignments created in the class, you need to convert them to use the different grading scale and ensure the assignment has a default assessment, or you receive a message stating you must select a default assessment on the Grading Scale tab before converting.

Your previously added assignments are converted to the Default grading scale option.

Custom Setup 1 option allows you to designate the appropriate grading scale for the class and override the grading scale for individual students as necessary. This setup is most often used for traditional report cards.

1.On the Teacher Home Page, below Average Calc Setup, click Set Up Grading Scales.

2.On the Grading Scale Setup screen, in the Class drop-down list, select the appropriate class.

If the process was completed successfully, the message “Copy Complete!” displays on the screen.

Your previously added assignments are converted to the Custom Setup 1 grading scale option.

The Custom Setup 2 option is used with standards-based report cards, which are popular in the primary grade levels. This setup lets you map assignments to custom assessments on the report card, which enables GradeBook to automatically calculate grades for each assessment. The report cards and assessments are defined by your school district and set up by your GradeBook system manager.

Your system manager may have already set up your grade book to automatically use the Custom Setup 2 option. Whether or not your grade book has already been configured to use the Custom Setup 2 option, you may still customize your grade book to meet your needs by selecting a different grading scale or calculation method. If your grade book has not been previously set up for standards-based report cards and you want to map assignments to assessments on the report card, complete the following procedure:

2.On the Grading Scale Setup screen, select the appropriate class in the Class list.

Note: On the Grading Scale Setup screen, when you select Custom Setup 2, you receive the message below. This message displays even if the class has no assignments.
