Class Manager
Manage Grade Book class details. Not all teachers teach all subjects
to the same group of students all day. Some teachers may have multi-age
classroom, some teachers may have students rotate in and out of their
classroom for specific subjects, some teachers may share their class with
another teacher (co-teach), and some teachers may give a group of students
special or intensive instruction within their class.
Creating linked classes, creating breakout classes, sharing classes,
and creating separate assignment weights and resources for different groups
helps to manage these varying teaching scenarios can be done on the Class
Manager screen. To access the Class Manager screen, click Grade Book,
select Class Manager. The Class Manager screen opens.
Tasks
Assignment Weighting
The Assignment Weighting tab enables you to have different assignment
type weighting for your linked or shared classes. For example, a math
class may have homework, test, and quizzes, but not necessary any projects.
In that case, you may choose not to include projects in the overall weight
calculation. Perhaps you have a remedial class where students tend to
do the majority of their graded work in class. You may weigh the in-class
assignments heavier than the homework for just that class.
NOTE: Only
the primary teacher can set assignment weights for shared classes
Linked Classes
Create linked classes when you would like to have a separate Grade
Book for each subject you teach. Your linked classes appear in the Class
field on Grade Book Main screen and other screens. You can create separate
category or assignment-type weighting for each of your linked classes,
and you can make your individual linked classes available on StudentVUE
and ParentVUE.
When you create a linked class, your homeroom students are automatically
added to the linked class. Anytime students are added to or dropped from
your homeroom class, your linked classes are updated as well.
NOTE: Only students enrolled
in your homeroom class can be added to your linked classes. If you would
like to add students from another teacher’s homeroom into your class,
such as for students who rotate between your class and another teacher’s
class for subjects, then use Breakout Classes (instructions below) instead.
Breakout/Intervention Classes
In some cases, you may need to add additional classes to your Grade
Book for students who are not in your homeroom. In this situation, you
can create a breakout or intervention class in order to maintain a separate
set of assignments and grades for this group of students.
NOTE: You cannot create separate category or assignment-type
weighting for breakout or intervention classes that have a parent class
identified. Breakout and intervention class use the parent classes’ assignment
weighting and categories.
