New PowerTeacher 2.2 Gradebook Open!
PowerTeacher Gradebook 2.2 is now open--and with
Power Standards built-in! The new Gradebook functions
as the day-to-day collection tool that serves as the
foundation for a host of CCSD21 Projects &
Initiatives from recent years: core curriculum
frameworks, Power Standards, grading practices, and
more.
While the Gradebook is almost entirely unchanged, teachers can now assign 1 or more Power Standard(s) to specific assignments and track Power Standard performance across the year.
To support teachers with this enhancement, a revised PowerTeacher & PowerTeacher Gradebook course has been created in SchoolTown. Teachers can log in today to participate in that course.
Finally, if you have questions about how to login to PowerTeacher, your school principal (and MS Asst Principals) has that information!
While the Gradebook is almost entirely unchanged, teachers can now assign 1 or more Power Standard(s) to specific assignments and track Power Standard performance across the year.
- Teachers can still give “regular” grades on individual assignments as they’ve always done
- Additionally, teachers can collect data on Power Standard performance on specific assignments
- Regular collection of Power Standard data across the year allows for powerful data to inform instruction and powerful, accurate, stress-free reporting to parents at the end of the year
To support teachers with this enhancement, a revised PowerTeacher & PowerTeacher Gradebook course has been created in SchoolTown. Teachers can log in today to participate in that course.
- Updated Course--SchoolTown now includes an updated PowerTeacher Course with immediate, on-demand training that will support teachers in being successful with Power Standards in the updated version of Gradebook.
- In SchoolTown Course, Two Critical Units--Units 3 (Categories) and 4 (Assignments) are the staff learning priorities due to enhancements in the Gradebook. (***This will make parent reporting easy and team conversations powerful!***)
- Nearly all of the units in the PowerTeacher Course are the same as they've been for over two years. These will not need to be viewed by most staff members. New staff will want to participate with the foundational units, as needed.
Finally, if you have questions about how to login to PowerTeacher, your school principal (and MS Asst Principals) has that information!
