Two Grade Book Views

On your main grade book screen you will have options for how you view standards information:

View by Assignment- Shows the assignment, and then each standard that has been attached to that assignment.
- This view is best for day-today score entry
View by Standard- Shows the standard and then all of the assignments that have that standard attached.
- This view is best when it's time to submit report card marks as it lets you see the overall mark for each standard that will flow to the report card.

Grade book view selection area. A tab labeled "Standards" highlighted in a red box. The tab is part of a navigation bar that includes "Assignments" to the left. Below are three buttons: "View By Assignment," "View By Standard," and "View By Parent Standard," with "View By Standard" directly beneath the highlighted "Standards" tab. In the lower left corner is a link titled "Go To Assignment View."

Customizing Your Grade Book View

Click the "Options" button near the top right corner, and go to the "Grading" tab in the window that pops up. The settings pictured below are a good starting point, but definitely experiment to fine tune your grade book view to one that works for you.

Video Based Instructions
