Loading Grades from Gradebook to Competencies

Use this procedure to load marks from Gradebook to competency records. Load from Gradebook uses the competency definition to determine whether the mark is based on the student's maximum score, most recent score, average score, power law, or a manual entry made in Gradebook.

If you are loading marks for course competencies, then the report card marks will also be loaded.

To prepare to load marks:

1. Enter all scores for assignments that will be included when calculating marks.
2. Run the Missing Scores report for the class to verify that there are no scores missing for students that should be entered.
3. If necessary, enter scores for any missing assignments which you want to count as a 0 (zero). Missing scores are never factored when calculating a mark for competencies.
4. To review assignments for a competency, click from the Gradebook mode selector to enter SBGB Detail mode. Then, use the Filter fields to display the competency.
5. If you ask students to confirm the scores entered in your gradebook, run the Student Detail Report for the class. This report includes a signature line for students/guardians to sign indicating that the information is correct.

To load grades on Competency Entry page:

1. From Grade Reporting, select Competencies to display the Competency Entry Page in Grid or List mode.
