Instructions
You can access your Marks Books Settings by progressing through the ‘Teaching Workspace’, selecting the relevant class and entering the ‘Programme’ and selecting ‘Overview of Assessments’. The Marks Book Settings button can be found towards the bottom of the page (see image below).
A secondary menu will appear where you can check and change your marks book settings.
Within the ‘General Setting’ tab, you will need to review the ‘Course Type’ that has been selected. There is a drop-down box on the right-hand side where you can select the appropriate course. Please choose between:
K-10
11 and 12
11 and 12 extension Subjects
K-6 Individual Plan
Life Skills
Note - The selection of course type determines the type of information you will enter into your marks book. For example, the ‘K-10’ option is based around grades whereas ‘11 and 12’ is marks based.
Again within the ‘General Settings’ tab, you can create multiple ‘Assessment Groups’. There will be 1 assessment group preloaded and you can also add more groups. This is done by clicking the + button (which has the text ‘Add Group’ next to it - see the image below). You can change the name of the group by typing new text next to ‘Label’. You can also colour code your group by using the drop-down box next to ‘Colour’.
Note - Creating multiple groups allows you to pool and collect task and activities that are of a similar nature. This means that you could create one group for all of the formal assessment tasks across the year, another group for all of the informal tasks related to a unit of work and another group for the informal tasks based on the next unit of work.
Select ‘Save’ to secure any changes and return to the ‘Overview of Assessments’.
