Teacher Markbook: Class Record Book, Grade Book, Attendance Log Book, Perfect Gift for Teachers (Teacher Markbooks)

Product Information

A combination of shift, tab and enter (tab for right/shift-tab for left/enter for down/shift-enter for up) with broken calculations and out-of-date class lists. Usually one person knows how the process works, or You can filter for assignments that are ‘to mark’. This will show all unmarked assignments that require manual marking. How can I find the assignments that I’ve set? You can use copy-paste to enter marks. We know that it can save time to be able to copy-paste marks. So we've enabled copy-paste on all our markbooks, allowing you to copy in marks from a spreadsheet, or copy-paste between cells. Just use CTRL+C (PC) / CMD + C (Mac) to copy, and CTRL+V (PC) / CMD + V (Mac) to do so. My Markbook simplifies the assessment process by enabling teachers to record the outcomes of tests, observations, evaluations, skills competences and more all in one place, on any device, from anywhere.

I really like the fact this is a single markbook with all features and whilst on first appearance the markbook looks really useful, since using it, there are a number of flaws that have appeared which given the initial cost are disappointing. When entering scores, I often use a code such as ‘nh’ for no homework in place of a numerical score. This has the effect of awarding an ‘star’ for that homework and thereby affecting the overall grade. Would it be possible to allow for letter codes to go in as well?
Supports Foundation, Intermediate and Higher tier students in the same class and will limit grades accordingly. You can see student characteristics by using the "Characteristics" slider. At the top left of the markbook, there is a slider labelled "Characteristics". Moving this to the "on" position will show the characteristics of your students, such as their gender, pupil premium, EAL and SEN status. Archiving an assignment moves it from the Current tab to the Archived tab in the Assignment list view. This allows you to tidy away assignments you’ve finished working on.Suitable for any subject area regardless of how or what you assess. Show or hide up to five different assessment objective columns for each assessment. Here is a key for the symbols: Can I view marks as percentages instead of scores in the Group Task Report? Once an assignment has reached its due date, you can archive it. The ‘archive’ button appears in two places: on the group assignment item listing and the assignment item overlay – overview tab. You can also use the ‘archive all’ button at the top of the Current tab to archive all items past their due date. Find out more on Archiving here. What if I’ve archived an item by mistake/changed my mind? The Current tab will show you all the assignments set by you (and only you) by default. How can I see if I have any uncompleted assignments?

You can enter marks at question level or at whole grade level. This article explains how this feature works. The RAG coding is no longer available, but you can still see students’ marks for each question at a glance. Can I get further support? Yes. All results are fed through to the Reports tab regardless of whether the students have completed the assignment (an empty cell denotes ‘not completed’) — or whether the teacher has marked the assignment (an em-dash denotes ‘awaiting marking’). I still can’t see the results for my assignment in the Reports tab. Why not? Moving something to the Archived tab doesn’t change its status or prevent you from marking the assignment. It is just organising the assignment items into two lists (Current and Archived). I am so excited that My Markbook is the first of many upcoming SIMS Next Gen Secondary Assessment products, which will free up data managers’ time and make recording standard and ad-hoc assessment data really easy for teachers.

You can navigate your way around the markbook using keyboard shortcuts. There are two options for doing so: Yes, once an assignment has been archived by the teacher who created it, it will also appear in the archive for all other teachers (but remember that assignments set by other teachers are only visible when the ‘all teachers’ filter is selected). How can I find the assignments for a specific group or student? Use "N" to indicate where answers were not attempted. You can use the "N" mark to distinguish a "not answered" question from an incorrect question (which should be scored as a "0"). "N" marks still count as 0, but by using the "N" mark, you'll be able to see a difference between incorrect and unanswered questions.

The archiving functionality helps you to organise your assignments. Any assignment that has reached its due date can be archived. Your markbook will autosave every few seconds. You don't ever have to worry about losing the data you've entered with Smartgrade! We auto-save your marks every few seconds, and you always know when that's happened as they go green once saved (see screenshot below). One of my biggest frustrations as a teacher was having to use paper-based record systems, and later Word or Excel, which ended up messy, time-consuming, often unreliable and not reflective of my evaluation. In My Markbook, you can record what you want, how and when you want to record it. You can customise your markbook for individual classes and enter the results of all assessments, using our pre-defined assessment types or ones you create yourself, so you can monitor pupils’ ongoing progress in a way that suits you and your class.Supports GCSE (9-1 or A*-G), A Level and Pre-U. Goodbye to using different workbooks for different types of grades! Markbooks are accessed from the "Markbooks" tab. Here you will find all markbooks that have been assigned to classes you teach. If you're an administrator, you'll also see all markbooks from your school or MAT. In brief, you enter the student’s raw marks for any assessment and the markbook uses sophisticated analysis to present you with all the data you’d want to see on an individual student or whole classes.
