Report Cards and Interims assessment, and if you selected Use Basic Calculations on the General tab, select any of the calculation methods except None in the Default Calculation list. For more specific details on setting up attendance, see “Add Attendance Assessments to Report Cards.” To quickly add assessments, you can copy assessments from existing report cards that use similar assessments, and then modify them as needed. See “Copy Assessments.” 1. On the Assessments tab, if you are creating traditional report cards, proceed to step 2. If you are creating standards-based report cards in the Course list, select the course name for which you want to enter assessments. 2. In the Assessment column, type an assessment. 3. In the Seq# column, type a number that represents the order in which the assessment displays on the printed report card and on the Report Card Entry screen. Use numbers in increments of 5 or 10, so you can add assessments later, if needed. 4. In the Mark Type column, select the mark type. Note: If your school district is integrated with certain student information systems, you must use the mark type from that student information system. Mark types should already be set up. If mark types do not display in the Mark Type list, see “Add Mark Types.” Note: You can select an unlimited number of different mark types for a teacher to enter on a student’s report card or interim, but the system may perform slowly if numerous different mark types are entered. 5. In the Default Grading Scale list, select the appropriate default grading scale. Note: Grading scales should already be set up. If grading scales do not display in the Default Grading Scale list, see “Add Grading Scales.” Note: You must select a default grading scale for any mark type that is calculated except for attendance assessments. 6. If you are creating a standards-based report card in the Default Calculation list, select one of the following options: • None – Grade or mark is not calculated by the grade book. 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 will be used to calculate the average. • Power Law – Industry-standard algorithm that applies less weight for assignment marks given earlier in the reporting period than for assignment marks given later in the reporting period. This calculation method can be used with numeric as well as alphabetical mark types and must meet the following conditions: • At least three assignments must be associated with the assessment. • All the assignments associated with the assessment must have the same point value. 132 ProgressBook GradeBook System Manager Guide
Report Cards and Interims • All the assignments associated with the assessment must have a weight of 1. • Does not include missing assignments. • Does not include excluded assignment marks. Power Law Calculation Method 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 will not be 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. • 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 will be 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. ProgressBook GradeBook System Manager Guide 133
