There is no option to electronically verify grades Teachers MUST adhere to grading deadlines, as grades will be stored as is, meaning what is reflected in the gradebook at the time of the deadline. Failure to meet the deadlines will result in; reports cards being incorrect, student transcripts being incorrect and data submitted to the PED being incorrect. This will be documented and reported to the School/District Personnel. When grades are stored, data is pulled from the grade book and put in historical grades; this is where the report card information comes from. Teachers updating their gradebook after this process has been run; data updated will not reflect the same on report cards. The 2017-2018 SY - Timeline is on Page 19 of this handbook.

Welcome to! The gradebook is ready to go the first day of school. You won t have a lengthy setup because its default settings work for most teachers, at least to start. You may want to format certain items, but the default settings make the gradebook fully functional out of the box. District will set up term weights for secondary; S1, S2 Gradebooks. Navigate to the HTML-based gradebook directly through the PowerTeacher portal. There s no need to launch a separate application to access. The first time you navigate to the gradebook, you ll see a welcome message that introduces some of the features. No gradebook information will be listed in the old gradebook launch. Let s BEGIN!! Login as Normal BEFORE you select your Normal launch. Look at the left side listing and Select;. NO LONGER USE! And WELCOME!! To the New Grade Book PowerSchool will be utilizing. Take a look at the screen shot where you can find all the Access Points to help you navigate through PowerTeacher gradebook. Page 2

Charms Bar: Page 3 Take time to navigate through each of the Charms, select an item on the charms bar along the left side of the app to open the corresponding section. You will find each charm very user friendly. GRADING The Assignments page displays all assignments for the currently selected class. View assignments on both the Assignments and Scoresheet pages. Set up assignments at the beginning of a school term or at any time during the term. When you access, you see the Assignments page by default. The assignments are listed by the most recent due date by default. Use one of two methods to score an assignment score a single assignment from the Assignments page or score multiple assignments on the Scoresheet. STUDENTS View student progress, manage communication, and work with assignments. Analyze performance throughout the term to ensure that students are mastering the skills and standards you are teaching. Review students performance as you prepare to complete final grades for report cards, and then use the gradebook to prepare for and conduct parent-teacher conferences. Other pages in are optimized to display how an entire class is performing using the Progress pages. The individual student pages, however, provide more detailed information on an individual student. This is particularly useful for entering multiple scores for a single student, and during parent-teacher conferences to explain why a student earned a particular grade. PROGRESS Standards: The graph on the Standards Progress page shows the distribution of grades for each standard aligned to the course, for the selected class and reporting term. If you are working with standards, this is the primary page you can use to manage standards and student progress for your class. The page provides an overall view of the standards for the class. From the Standards Progress page, you can assess which standards you may need to focus on to assure proficiency for the students in your class. Traditional: The Traditional Grades Progress screen provides a graphical view of the grade distribution across the selected class. The column on the left lists the number of students who have earned a traditional grade in the grade scale. The colors in the graph correspond to the grade scale color levels. For example, if the grade scale defines the grades A and A- as dark green, the graph displays a dark green bar that corresponds to the number of students who have an A or A-. The black demarcation line shows where the cutoff is between passing and failing grades. The numbers in the column on the right show the total number of students who have passing grades versus the total number of students who have failing grades. To the right of the graph, you can view a summary of the total number of students who have missing, late, or incomplete assignments. REPORTS Working with Reports - offers a selection of reports to assist you in daily classroom activities, as well as with assessing student performance. You can generate reports for all students who are enrolled in a class, for all students who are enrolled in all your classes, or for specific students. Learn More by selecting each report to see how they benefit your style. Cont. to the next page...

Individual Student Report: This is a multi-function report you can generate per student. You can generate this report to compile the following information: Progress reports Missing and late assignments Grades Category totals Assignment scores Comments Summary of student work to present a to parents at conferences or to a principal during a review Midterm update for students and parent Multi-Function Assignment Report: This report provides a list of students and scores per assignment. You can generate this report to compile the following information: Missing, late, or incomplete assignments Grades List of all assignment and the associated scores, attributes, and grade for each reporting term, by student. Use this report to help students and parents keep up with class work, to target students who need extra help, or to gauge which assignments present the most challenges to students. Student Roster Report: This report displays student demographic information and blank columns, listed one row per student. The Student Roster report can generate a list of demographic information by class. You can use the report, for example, to keep track of money collected for classroom field trips, or as an emergency contact list.

Examples include grading policy, class syllabus, links to class resources, and more. Display Settings; Choose how you want information to appear in. Grade Calculation Types; Traditional Grade Calculations; Standards Grades Calculations; Recalculate Final Grades Page 4

Grade Setup: Click on the Class Selector, choose a class to setup. This will have to be done for each class, the user is assigned to. Define the grade calculations for your classes. On the charms bar, select Settings, and then choose Traditional Grade Calculations Do NOT update Semesters, only Quarters. o User can set up a Total Point system o User can set up a Percentage system o User can set up category weights, use to weight assignments Pre-defined categories will show up. User can create new categories to use for this purpose v Traditional Grade Calculations: 1. Select the class, and then choose edit icon for the specific term. 2. On the Formula tab, select the calculation type, attribute, and weight. Use weight values that will make the values in the Percent columns add up to 100%. 3. Select the plus sign (+) to add a type. Select the minus sign (-) next to a type to remove it 4. To calculate the overall class grade using the formula, verify that Calculate Overall Class Grade is checked. 5. On the Drop Scores tab, select which low scores to drop from the calculation. 6. Select Save Page 5

Category Setup: Categories are broad classifications in which you group similar types of assignments. Make a category available to one, some or all classes. For example, if the user teaches two lab sections, the user can create a category for lab work assignments and make the category available for use in only those two sections. When the user creates assignments for other classes, they will not see the lab work category in the list of available categories. You cannot delete the pre-designed categories; Homework, Test, Project, and Quiz. Users can make these inactive, if they do not want to use them. Co-teachers who have created categories in their own gradebooks, will not be able to share their gradebooks or use the categories created by the main teacher. View and work with your Categories page. Pre-designed categories are labeled with an icon that looks like a building. If a section is shared between co-teachers, only the lead teacher s categories will be applicable when working with that section. This should be done, before creating assignments. There are 3 tabs that the user will have to update information on in order to create a useable category On the Category Tab, select a class or all classes to assign this new category to. Enter Name, choose color and add a description. Status makes the category available. On the Assignment default tab, to save time creating assignments, set the default values for assignments this is optional. Choose a score type. Should be set to count in Final Grade. On the View All tab, you can view all active categories. Click SAVE Page 6

Creating Categories: Before you begin creating assignments, at least one category must exist. Set up assignments in, choose whether or not to include them in the final grade, and tie them to standards. Before setting up an assignment, consider how you will score the assignment? Do you want to record the score as points, percentages, or letter grade? How many points is the assignment worth? How do you want to weight the assignment? Do you want to include the assignment in final grade calculation? Moving forward: 1. On the navigation bar, select (+ Create) and then choose CATEGORY 2. On the CATEGORY tab, select the classes from this category from the Select Classes menu [SELECT CLASSES]. The default setting is All Classes 3. Choose/enter category information a. Color aligns the selected color with the category and provides a visual representation of the category in. b. Active and Inactive makes the category available or unavailable, but does not impact assignments where it has already been used c. Description can include detailed information about the category. This information may be shared with administrators, parents and students. Enter the description of the category using plain text, HTML, or combination of both. 4. On the Assignment Default tab: a. Use the Score Type menu to select the default score type for this category. The fields change specific to your selection. (See Score Type) By default, scores in the category will be published to administrators, parents, and students. b. Use the PUBLISH ASSIGNMENT pop-up menu to select when assignments for this category will publish to PowerSchool for Student s and Parent s portal. If you choose Days Before Due Date, enter the number of days the assignment should appear prior to the date that it is due in the Days Before Due Date field. c. Select the PUBLISH SCORES checkbox if you do not want to automatically publish scores for this category d. To include new assignments in this category in final grade calculations by default, verify that COUNT IN FINAL GRADE is selected. On the VIEW ALL tab, you can view all active categories. District-created categories are labeled with an icon that looks like a building. View the classes that are using each category, and the status of each category. Select SAVE. Grade Calculation Types: Click on the Class Selector, choose a class to setup Prior to starting any assignments and selecting categories You will look to the left of your screen on your grade book at your Charms. Select > Setting. Here you are going to select How you want to set your calculations for your Gradebook. You will have to do this for each subject for your Gradebook. Use calculation formula sets to define the final grade calculation methods how you want students assignment scores to count towards their final grades. Choose whether you ll calculate the students final grade using total points, term weighting, standards weighting, or category weighting. You can combine calculation methods by using different methods for different reporting terms, such as total points for Q1 and Q2 and term weighting for S1. Page 7

Total Points Use the total point method to calculate a student s final grade by dividing the points the student earned for the class by the number of points possible for the class. Using this option, a student might earn 1250 points out of a total 1600 points possible which would be converted to a percentage of 78% and a grade would be determined from the cutoff percentage defined in the grade scale. Term Weighting Term Weights are set as 50% for each quarter to give an average for the semester grade! This has been set at the district level do NOT alter! Example: S1=Q1 (50%) + Q2 (50%) Category Weighting Categories are broad classifications for assignments, such as homework and tests. Use the category weighting method to calculate a student final grade using assignment categories. Assign a weight to each category to determine how it contributes to the final grade. The rounded percentage that student earns for each category is multiplied by the weight. The weighted percentage values are added together to calculate the final grade. For example, you might use the categories Homework, Test, and Final Project, and assign each the respective weights 20, 40, and 40. You do not have to include all of the categories in the final grade calculation. For example, if you don t want to include scores for the Quizzes category, then you don t need to add that category to the calculation. Mixed Weighting A combination of the calculation types listed above can also be selected within a single reporting term to produce a grade that is the weighted average of their respective grade values. When mixing calculation types, there is a good possibility of scores being double-counted scores, if the calculation is defined in a manner to do so. For example, if a calculation is defined using Total Point and Categories, any assignment that is part of the defined category will have the scores double-counted within the calculation. Creating Assignments: You can create one assignment at a time as you progress through the term, or you can set up assignments for the entire term before the term starts. Creating assignments before entering scores does not skew how grades are calculated. The final grade that appears next to the student name on the Scoresheet page reflects only the assignments that you have scored already. User must have at least one available category, before you create assignments. Click on [+Create] and Assignment On the Assignment tab, select a class or all classes to add assignment to. Choose a Category Select a Score Type **Grade Calculation Types** o Points records all scores as points o Percent records all scores as percentage values o Grade Scale records all scores as values from the grade scale o Collected Only records all scores using the collected score indicator. This type has no score value and therefore does not count toward the final grade Count in Final Grade should be checked Select a Due Date click on calendar or manually enter the date. This date MUST fall within the term the students are given this task. +Per Class button can be used to define different dates for the same task, created for multiple classes. Description optional. Information included here, can be shared with administrators, parents and students. Page 8
