All of our teachers are required to enter letter grades for all assignments and assessments. In fact, when I do the training, I have the teachers set it as the default when they setup their categories.
@DanM3 , I tried creating an alpha grade scale, however the cut off and grade values seem to be numeric and I am not having an option to enter the grade value in letters.
Any suggestions?
@Powerschool3040 That is correct, it must be a number for the behind the scenes calculations. When a teachers at our school enters a letter grade it is assigned the value the school has determined and is listed in our Student Parent Handbook. We also suppress showing percentages as well. We use a traditional 100% scale but the lowest mark is an Incomplete which calculates to 49.9%. On our scale an F is 55%.We have adopted most of what Ken O'Connor has written about grading and learning.
