Show previous grade plan grade when submitting new grade for report card

Teachers would love to be able to see what the grade or assessment was in the previous grading period to see how it affects the current grade/assessment being entered. Particularly for our preschool teachers where they use mastery levels instead of grades.

    Hi Folks -

    With today's release, we have implemented a new end of term grade entry experience for faculty. This update will not show to faculty until it has been enabled in Core > Settings > Activate new features.

    Before enabling this new feature, please give the webinar, linked below, a watch. There's some important information about how the new experience calculates grades which may require a small update to your existing Grade Translations before enabling the new experience.

    In this update, it is now possible for teachers to see previously recorded grades so they can more easily see and track student progress throughout the length of the given course, this includes Assessment Skills.

    A couple other small enhancements with this update:

    • Comments now auto-save every 15-20 seconds.

    • Bulk comments now have a student selector.

    • A narrative mode has been introduced to facilitate long-form comment writing.

    • Mastery Skills can now be linked to Assessment skills.

    If you have feedback on this new feature, feel free to reach out or schedule a meeting with me using the link below!
