Entering Gradebook Assessments
The Gradebook feature in Teacher Access Center allows teachers to enter student
grades for tests, quizzes, and other assignments given to students. Categories must
be defined first each quarter and consist of summative and formative categories.
Assessments are defined after categories are defined. Assessments are defined as
needed throughout each quarter.
Scores are entered for each student for each assessment.
Score = Numeric Grade
Assessment = Specific item to be graded
Category (Summative or Formative) = Type of Assessment
To Define Class Categories and Assessments
1. From the My Home page click Def for the appropriate course:
2. Click the Categories tab to view the Categories (Summative and
Formative) that your class will use. The Categories tab will display
automatically if you have no category types defined.
eSchoolPLUS Guide for Secondary Teachers Revised 9/12/2011 McKinney ISD School Year 2011-2012
NOTES:
Page 20 version 1.3
District defined categories are:
Formative = 30%
Summative = 70%
Summative Grades (70%): Grades taken after learning has happened to sum up
achievement at a particular point in time. (Tests, Major Quizzes, Projects)
Formative Grades (30%): Grades taken on a regular basis to inform teachers and
students about the progress of learning while learning is taking place.
(Homework, Quizzes)
The same categories and percentages must be used throughout the year.

choice.
