Gradebook - Include Standards Performance in Assessment Class View
T
Tanya Bonifacini
It would be extremely helpful to have a gradebook view where I can see ALL students in a class and ALL assignments in the current grading period. I then would like to be able to edit a grade in that view. When students turn in multiple assignments late, it is very cumbersome to open up each individual assignment and change the grade. I'm imagining it looking like an old school pen/paper gradebook.

See scores in gradebook

When we look in the gradebook, can we change settings so we see student scores instead of "on time" or "late?"
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher
Hi there! Just checking in again, could anyone answer the question posted above. We see people voting and want to better understand the request. Thank you!
For standards-based tests, what would you envision as the assessment's score if the test graded more than one standard? There isn't typically a score on an assessment in a traditional standards-based approach like there is on a points-based assessment. If there's one standard assessed, it makes sense for the assessment's score to be the "score" on that standard, but what about assessments that tests more than one standard?

SIARA SCHWARTZLOW
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher If the assessment measures more than one skill, I would envision a separate score for each skill measured, since questions can be linked to skills. For example, if a ten-question assessment featured three questions on tone, four on mood, and three on central idea, that student should have three different columns populated with data after taking the assessment. Only the relevant questions would count toward that skill. Hoping this makes sense!
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher
SIARA SCHWARTZLOW: Hi thanks for responding so quickly! So what score would show in each column? - some kind of average or other composite of all the question scores? Or do you envision multiple scores showing. Ex. "Not at Mastery, Approaching Mastery, Not at Mastery" if there were 3 questions on that standard. Or are you imaging multiple levels of hierarchy? I've attached some screenshots of what I mean. I'm a visual learner. :)

Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher We would use "Exceeding," "Proficient," "Developing," or "Beginning" for each skill.
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher
SIARA SCHWARTZLOW: Let's pretend I used those labels instead of the ones in the example. Which screenshot diagram aligns closest to how you envision showing the score(s) on an assessment with multiple standards?
P.S. Sorry for all my questions! I appreciate your patience!

SIARA SCHWARTZLOW
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher I would say the first one. Rather than each question getting its own score, teachers should look at the collection of three or four questions aligned to a single skill and determine whether the student is performing at proficiency. Students will receive one score per assessment per skill, regardless of how many questions are on that skill. Does that make sense?
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher
SIARA SCHWARTZLOW Got it - thanks for hanging in there with me! So if the student received different scores on the same standard/skill on the different questions, do you take a calculation, like an average or mode? Or do you grade all those questions with the same score based on the overall performance on those questions for that skill, and that is the single score?
S
SIARA SCHWARTZLOW
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher Typically, yes, we would use mode. But we do like to leave it up to teacher discretion, so those scores need to be editable. For example, if a student gets two "developings" and one "proficient" on calculating the slope of a line, but their errors were integer-based and had nothing to do with the formula for calculating slope (and they ultimately used the formula correctly), the teacher might revise that student's score to reflect proficiency on that skill. The errors the student made were not slope-based but were simply calculation errors.

Thanks for submitting the feature request SIARA SCHWARTZLOW! I see that you are a standards-based district. For standards-based tests, what would you envision as the assessment's score if the test graded more than one standard? If there's one standard assessed, it makes sense for the assessment's score to be the score on that standard, but what about assessments that tests more than one standard? Thanks again!

Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher I can't remember why, but I was told it's often better to use points rather than standards mastery when making an assessment. I think the original poster is saying if the test has multiple standards linked, she would expect to see a score column for each standard being assessed. So if there were 10 questions and 5 of those is 4.nbt.4 and the other 5 questions are 4.nbt.5 then when scored there would be 2 columns that show mastery level. One for each standard. The matter level bring determined but the 5 questions for each individual standard being assessed.

Gradebook - Viewing Standards Attached in Assessment View

It would be nice to see (at a glance per student), the standards that were attached to an assignment. I think this could be done effectively in the Gradebook on the Assessments tab. There could be a column for standards.

I would like to be able to look at all the assessments from a class and the scores that a student got on each of them.

Is there a chance we can get the gradebook view? Would make life soooo much better. Or is it just not possible?

Agree 1000%. This is the most basic aspect of a gradebook. This is a simple programming fix that should have been implemented years ago. I've seen the same comment about OTUS not being able to do this on forums from 2021. What is the holdup?

Tanya Bonifacini
I'm in Gradebook in the "Standards" tab. When I clicked on the "Assessments" tab it does show all the comments, but not the grades. The only thing it lets me edit is label (On Time, Missing, Late, etc) and add a comment. There is no where I'm seeing that I can change multiple grades.
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher
Thanks for leaving this feedback Tanya Bonifacini! Can you tell me more about where in Otus you are at and what you are hoping to see and do? What you describe is actually possible in Otus but I'm trying to understand if your district's configuration is impacting this or if I'm misunderstanding the view you're referring to.

Yes, I am at a standards based school. Sometimes assessment have one standard being assessed, sometimes more than one. But it would be nice when we go to the gradebook, click on the assessments tab, and see the assessment name and the score(s). I see an assessment list but it just says "graded" or "late" or "on time". It would be great for that to be replaced with the score & standard. It's especially helpful if I have an iep and I want to see all assignments/grades for a student. The way it is now, I have to click on each individual assessment and write the scores down myself. Just takes too many clicks/time. I hope this makes sense!
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher
Kellie Fletcher: Thanks so much for responding! Can you tell me more about what a single score would be on a test that measures more than one standard? Let's say the test measured two standards, and that the student achieved "Mastery" on one standard and "Proficient" on another. How do you describe the score for the assessment? (Thanks for your patience with my questions! I'm also available for a call if that would interest you!)
Just a heads up, if you click on a student's name in the Assessment tab, you can see all of their assignments and what they scored on the standards scale too. That might help in the IEP situation you've described. Does that help?

Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher- I am not able to see this list on my end. If I click on a students name in the assessments tab, It take me to the single assessment where I can grade it. I cannot find this list you are talking about. Also - when I say score I just mean their grade. If there's two grades or standards assessed, then I'd like to see both next to the assessment name.
Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher
Kellie Fletcher: Sorry for the delayed response! It sounds like you might be in the Assessments feature when you are clicking their name. When you are in Otus, go to the Gradebook feature from the menu on the left. Then make sure you are on the Assessments tab. From there, click on a student. On the student's page you'll see all of their assessments, including their mastery on standards based assessments in the total column.
