II. Setting Up Your Gradebook
SCHOOLS USING A TEMPLATE: You are working on a template that was created to spare you from entering everything into Integrade. Your spreadsheets, grading rules, and type sets have already been created for you. All you will need to do is choose the correct spreadsheet for each class and enter tasks and grades for those classes.
Those using G, S, and P for grades will need to refer to those directions on how to choose the special grade table for those subjects.
I am including directions for creating spreadsheets, setting grading rules and creating type sets so that you will have them at your disposal. If your school is using a template you do not need to do the following steps. They are for your information only.
IF YOU ARE USING A TEMPLATE THIS IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY
The following has already been done when the template was created! Do not do the following steps if you are working off of the template.
SETUP DIRECTIONS FOR SCHOOLS NOT USING A TEMPLATE
There are four areas you need to Set Up.
1. Spreadsheets
2. Grading Rules
3. Create Type Sets (grade categories and % of total grade), if you are not using a Total Points spreadsheet.
4. Tasks (individual assignments, tests, etc.)
Before you begin, take a close look at your spreadsheet. Values in several areas can be changed using the drop down arrow at the end of each category. Take a look at the following values:
[pic] Class – displays the class you want to work with and add grades to
[pic] *Spreadsheet – displays the current spreadsheet – You want to work and add grades using the “Weighted Type”
[pic] * Show – there are many options here. Selecting Students displays current students, Task/Students displays students and tasks, etc.
[pic] *View - Can work in Type View or Task View
SET UP GRADING RULES
You need to make sure the grading rules match our grading scale.
1. Select Setup from the Menu Bar.
2. Select Grading Rules.
3. The Grading Rules window opens.
4. Click on the “Grade Tables” Tab.
5. None of the Grade Tables on the left match our scale. You will want to add a new Grade Table.

SPECIAL SCORES
1. Click on the “Special Scores” Tab. For now we are not going to assign values for “Special Scores.”
2. If you want to excuse a student from an assignment and not count as a 0, then you will type in a symbol for Excused such as EX. If you give an I for an Incomplete you can change INC to I. You can delete the other special symbols or if you do not use these, you can ignore this window.
[pic]
TYPE SETS
IF YOUR GRADES ARE BASED ON POINTS AND NOT PERCENTAGES, OR IF YOU ARE CREATING A SKILLS SPREADSHEET, DISREGARD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON TYPE SETS
Now click on the “Types Sets” Tab.
1. A Type Set is the grouping of how you grade your classes. This is where you set up the Types of Categories for grades you give (ex: tests, homework) and what percentage they count toward the final grade average. This is where you will group tasks (assignments) by categories and percent of final average.
2. Before you begin, you may want to delete the Sets and Types which appear on your screen by clicking Delete Type and Delete Set buttons located on the right side.
3. Click on ”New Set” to establish the rules for grading in your classes.
4. Type in the Name for your “Task Type Set”. (If you grade all your classes on the same scale, you will need to create only one Type Set.) Click Create.
5. Look at the “Types” of grades available, such as Quiz, Test, Homework, etc.
6. Type in the % that each “type” will count toward final grade.
7. If the “Type of grade” you use is not listed, you can create a “New Type”, such as “Technique”. You can Create a “New Type” or “Rename” a type you do not use.
8. You can always come back to this screen if your student average does not appear correctly.
Below is a sample for elementary school teacher.
