The Grading by Task tool allows office personnel and teachers to enter scores for grading tasks. A list of grading tasks and standards assigned to the course displays at the top. When selected, scores will be entered for that task/standard.
Section Grading by Task
Grading tasks are assigned to courses on the Course Grading Task tool. In order for teachers to record scores using the Post Grades tool, a Grading Window must be open. A grading window is only open for a period of time, allowing teachers to enter grades up to a certain date. Then the office staff can generate report cards and such. If teachers need to change grades after a Grading Window has closed, district policy should determine the procedure to follow.
