Entering Gradebook Scores in SBGB Detail Mode

Use this procedure to enter gradebook scores in SBGB Detail mode (referred to as SBGB mode in earlier TAC versions). The SBGB Detail mode enables you to see all the assignments that apply to a competency. This view is also used to display the students' values for each competency, and, if necessary, make overrides if a mark needs to be changed. For information about the SBGB Detail mode of the Gradebook page, refer to the Gradebook Entry Page Overview (GB Entry and SBGB Detail Modes) topic.

To enter the SBGB Detail mode from the Gradebook Entry page, click on the Gradebook mode selector . The Competencies and Marks filters display in the filter area. After you select a competency and mark type, the associated assignments display. In SBGB Detail mode, you can also override the student's Grade value if your building administrator allows you to override grades.

Competency scores use accumulator types to calculate report card marks. Refer to the What is an Accumulator Type? topic for details.

To enter scores for competencies:

1. From Gradebook, select Entry to display the Gradebook Entry page.
2. Click on the Gradebook mode selector to enter SBGB Detail mode. The Categories and Marks filter is replaced with the Competencies and Marks filters.
3. If you need to update the class or marking period, click Change to display the Class List pop-up, and make your selections.
4. On the Competencies filter, select the appropriate competency.
5. On the Marks filter, select the appropriate mark type.
6. After you select the competency and mark type, the page displays the assignments linked to the selected competency. Columns display only for assignments associated with the selected competency.
7. Enter scores for the assignments. You can double-click a cell to view valid alpha marks. Alpha marks can be used to exclude an assignment from a student's average or to give the student a percentage score. For an assignment associated with a rubric, refer to Entering Rubric Scores. For rubric-based assignments, the Assignment Header displays the Rubric Score Entry icon below the assignment detail.
8. If your building allows Gradebook average overrides, you can manually override the calculated competency Grade for students where needed. For more information, refer to Overriding Competency Averages in Gradebook.

   Caution: Do NOT override an average if it is used to calculate a Child competency above it.
