Teacher Markbook: Class Record Book, Grade Book, Attendance Log Book, Perfect Gift for Teachers (Teacher Markbooks)

Product Information

Your markbook will autosave every few seconds. You don't ever have to worry about losing the data you've entered with Smartgrade! We auto-save your marks every few seconds, and you always know when that's happened as they go green once saved (see screenshot below).

My Markbook simplifies the assessment process by enabling teachers to record the outcomes of tests, observations, evaluations, skills competences and more all in one place, on any device, from anywhere. All the data from your archived assignments is still available to report on in the Reports tab. How can I archive an assignment? Markbooks are accessed from the "Markbooks" tab. Here you will find all markbooks that have been assigned to classes you teach. If you're an administrator, you'll also see all markbooks from your school or MAT.Yes, there is a toggle at the top left of your screen that allows you to choose between scores and percentages. I can’t see RAG coding when I look at the marks for an assignment. Why not?

Triangulate assessment data with attendance, behaviour and contextual information such as SEND details, support plans, Once an assignment has reached its due date, you can archive it. The ‘archive’ button appears in two places: on the group assignment item listing and the assignment item overlay – overview tab. You can also use the ‘archive all’ button at the top of the Current tab to archive all items past their due date. Find out more on Archiving here. What if I’ve archived an item by mistake/changed my mind? Instant in situ analysis as soon as marks are entered – no more exporting/importing and no moredelays

Use "N" to indicate where answers were not attempted. You can use the "N" mark to distinguish a "not answered" question from an incorrect question (which should be scored as a "0"). "N" marks still count as 0, but by using the "N" mark, you'll be able to see a difference between incorrect and unanswered questions. Powerful ‘at a glance’ and on the go analysis of individual student progress, each assessment or classes as a whole. I really like the fact this is a single markbook with all features and whilst on first appearance the markbook looks really useful, since using it, there are a number of flaws that have appeared which given the initial cost are disappointing. When entering scores, I often use a code such as ‘nh’ for no homework in place of a numerical score. This has the effect of awarding an ‘star’ for that homework and thereby affecting the overall grade. Would it be possible to allow for letter codes to go in as well?
A teacher’s time is precious, and My Markbook saves that valuable time by keeping you up to date with changes like pupil premium or SEND, so you can be ready for any resulting differences in lesson planning or preparation. Like the rest of our SIMS Next Gen products, My Markbook accesses all the student data stored in SIMS, and automatically syncs with SIMS to give you instant, real-time information from across the school. Teachers can view a list of students in any of their classes and add extra columns to the markbook to see contextual student information alongside their results. The RAG coding is no longer available, but you can still see students’ marks for each question at a glance. Can I get further support?

The other major thing is that grade boundaries cannot be calculated using a raw score instead of a percentage, when using past papers, the boundaries are given as raw not %. Having to calculate %’s seems to defeat the purpose of having the markbook, plus, there is the potential for rounding errors if converting to %.
Make sure you complete all parts / tiers. Assessment publishers can set up markbooks to have multiple parts (e.g. if you set an assessment with a part 1 and part 2), and/or tiers (e.g. if you have a "Foundation" and a "Higher" option). If any of those options are enabled, you will see a dropdown in the top right which will allow you to switch between those options. You'll need to ensure all tiers and parts are completed to be able to submit a markbook. I’ve been working in the education sector for more than 25 years, and spent time working as a teacher. I remember all too well the challenges that came with assessing pupil’s progress and recording that in a paper based or separate computer systems – it wasn’t just difficult to keep everything organised, it was also practically impossible to align the evidence you had recorded with other important information about the pupils you taught. These challenges are exactly why our SIMS Next Gen My Markbook is so exciting. Use quality-assured classroom assessment data as the evidence behind subject and school-level dataanalysis The archiving functionality helps you to organise your assignments. Any assignment that has reached its due date can be archived. You can see student characteristics by using the "Characteristics" slider. At the top left of the markbook, there is a slider labelled "Characteristics". Moving this to the "on" position will show the characteristics of your students, such as their gender, pupil premium, EAL and SEN status.
