Directions for setting up IGPro gradebook—You do this only ONCE per year and you only create ONE gradebook.

 

SOME STEPS MAY vary, depending on your computer. But this should get you through the creation of your gradebook.

In the main screen where you see your class member names:

  1. Right-click anywhere in the Student Name column

*****Since there are MANY ways that teachers set up grades, the following will vary with your situation—PLEASE see me if you have questions. I will provide training over the next few days/weeks. Once you set this up and grades go out on interims, report cards, etc. it is VERY DIFFICULT to change these weightings without throwing everything off—grades from previous 9 weeks change if you change these rules in the middle of the year.

 

Terminology:

The gradebook is set up with some default categories called “Types” (the rows) under a default heading called a “Set” (the columns). Types are the kinds of assignment categories—like Homework, Classwork, tests, etc. The types listed will not be applicable to all teachers. The set called “Class” should probably be renamed. Remember, a set is a class—most will probably only need ONE set—called Math or Language Arts, etc. If you teach more than one subject you may want to create several sets. You MAY use the same Types for all Sets if you want. Or you can use a slash to mean either-or (ex. Daily Grade/Lab).

 

To set up the set(s) and types:

RENAME a SET

  1. Click on the cell beside the word “Grade” and under the word “Class”
  2. Click “Rename Set” and type your class (Math, ELA, etc.)
  3. Click Rename

 

ADDING A NEW SET (for different WEIGHTINGS in classes—Math, Science, etc.)

  1. Click “New Set”
  2. Type the name of the Set you want to add
  3. Click “Create”

 

RENAME A TYPE

  1. Click in the cell beside the type you want to rename
  2. Click “Rename Type” and type what you want to name this (Homework, Classwork, etc.)
  3. Click Rename

 

ADDING A NEW TYPE

  1. Click “New Type”
  2. Type the name of the Type you want to add
  3. Click “Create”

 

ASSIGNING WEIGHTINGS

  1. Click beside the Type you wish to assign the weight
  2. Type in the weighting (Percentage if you are using a 100 point scale)
  3. Do this for each type.

PART III—Printing Rosters

 

 

You FIRST need to know what/where your Default printer is. See me for help with this. (You set this in the File—Print Setup dialog)

 

To print rosters of each class (do these steps for each class)

  1. Click Reports—Class Roster
  2. Check the Vertical Lines box (“Tall Rows” may be useful but requires MUCH more space vertically)
  3. Click next
  4. After a few moments, you see a preview of the roster
  5. If the report looks ok, click print—if not, click cancel and start the process again
  6. Remember, you must have the printer setup and know what/where it will print to

 

See example below

 

 

Part IV—Setting up classes if you have more than one type set (Math AND Science, etc.)

 

Selecting Classes

 

1.       Click Setup>Classes

2.     Make sure the class highlighted in the left column agrees with the Class name on right side

3.     Make sure class type set agrees with the class name

4.      Make sure the current spreadsheet agrees with the current grading period.
