Title
GradeQuick Training and Gradebooks
Excel Speadsheets
Exhibit Explanation
Most of the elements of this exhibit involve the school gradebook software.
The program is used as the primary classroom gradebook. Additionally,
grades are electronically transmitted , midterms and report cards, and
student information is maintained by the office. As a member of the technology
committee, I was one of the trainers in the building for the program.
In the classroom, blank spreadsheets are printed to maintain daily records,
graph grades and assignment score reports are sent home.
Student grades on assignments and grading periods are graphed to determine trends. These graphs are used to help determine when it is necessary to reteach or readdress topics.
Excel is used to record standards that are addressed in each class.
Rationale
The exhibit meets the domain requirements by showing the ways in which records are maintained and the means in which student progress is reported to the office and parents.
Self-Evaluation and Reflection
The records are maintained and updated on a weekly basis. It would be benificial to send grade reports home on a more frequent basis.
How Observed and/or Verified
Records are maintained both within the classroom and the office.
Validation of Student Learning
The graphs and spreadsheets show the standards that the students have addressed, the grade trends and where learning has taken place. The trends are also used to determine if reteaching is necessary.
