Using Points History with daily goals, teachers can view grades and check back on grades for absent students in an efficient manner as well.
Daily goals are set by the teacher and should be at least twice the number of points in the new assignment.
When students meet the daily goal, they have earned the expected number of points for the day.
To quickly take a grade:
Navigate to Points History.
View which students met the daily goal and assign grades accordingly.
For example, if the daily goal was 12 points and the student earned 12 or more points, the student made 100%. If the student earned 10 of the 12 points, the student earned 83%.
What about absent students?
When students are absent, they check their calendars to view the number of points needed to make up the missing work. Students have the skills from the absence in Spiral Review and will solve some problems from the skills.
From the teacher view, if a student was absent, the student will likely show as Untried for the proficiency on the new skill.
After the student works in Spiral Review to earn the missing points, the student should level up to initial understanding (yellow) on the skills from the missing days.
The teacher checks Points History to see the student makes up the missing points.
