This would facilitate a grading conversation that can then be used by the teacher and student to really give personalised feedback. The students could then be offered the ability to respond to their grade or the final comments given by the teacher by entering a comment. Within the students grade book the grade could be displayed but if the student wishes to see the comments or the copy of the work submitted then that could be accessed directly by a link or expandable tab without them having to go back through the assignments tab to find their original work. So a student should be able to access their own grade book. The grade book tab should be visible and editable by all teachers assigned to the class so we can all collaborate and input grades.įinally, it's important to be able to share grades and comments with students and parents to allow them to learn effectively from their experiences.

Within the grade book it would be useful also if we could add a weighting for each assignment so a small quiz isn't worth the same as a large multi week project. The integration of Microsoft Forms would be really useful, so I can make quizzes in Forms, assign that quiz to a class and those grades could then also be automatically added to the grade book. It is important that assignments can be selected to be included or not of this as I assign both formative and summative tasks and I don't want my formative assignments to count towards the final semester grade. At the moment we have to export an individual excel file for each assignment. I think it would be really useful when setting up assignments to be able to select individual assignments to auto populate a grade book page within teams.

Below are a few ideas that I've thought of, I'm sure however that others will have far more insightful ideas than me!
