SELECT TERM Q1 QUARTER GRADE IN ORDER TO SET YOUR LESSON PLAN

PREFERENCES

LESSON PLANNER PREFERENCESIn your lesson planner

preferences you have three options:Use weighting on groupsUse each scores percent value for

calculation (rather than points)Grading Scale- this should already

be set to “secondary”

USE WEIGHTING ON GROUPS If you are a teacher that weights different

types of assignments, this option needs to be selected. If you are a teacher that grades by total points, leave this option off.

Example: Daily Assignments 30%Homework

20%Tests 50%

Warning: If you use this option, make sure your tasks add up to 100%, otherwise grades will not calculate correctly.

USE EACH SCORES PERCENT VALUE FOR CALCULATION This option calculates grade based on

their percentage values rather than the points that they are worth.

For example: A student receives a 20/20 on one assignment and a 50/100 on another. Normally this would calculate to a 58.3% (70/120). If you select the percent value option the same student would receive a 75% ((50+100)/2)

CREATING A NEW TASK GROUP

Select New Task Group from the lesson planner menu

CREATING A NEW TASK GROUP Create a name for your task group. Example:

Daily Work If you selected “Use weighting on groups”,

insert a percentage that you would like to assign to that group. Example 30.

Select which term this group should be a part of.

CREATING A NEW TASK GROUP Three other options can be set when

you set up a new task group.Hide View from Portal- this controls

whether or not parents can see this the grades for this group of assignment

Exclude Group from Calculation- selecting this would keep this group from being calculated in the students overall grade.

Drop Lowest Score- this drops the lowest score in this group of assignments so that it is not calculated in the students overall grade
