Audience: Teachers with paid Seesaw subscriptions
There are two ways to grade in Seesaw aligned to the way you assess your students. Teachers have the the ability to assign a numerical score (Overall Grade scored 0-100) to an activity as well as a star rating tied to a standard).
Teachers and co-teachers can enter/edit these grades, which will incorporate auto-graded formative assessment whenever possible, and will become visible to students and families upon approval.
The Overall score will display within the Gradebook in the Activities view.
Feature Overview
- Empower teachers to summarize student performance with flexible, per-activity overall grades.
- Enhance clarity and communication by showing overall performance to students and families.
- Simplify grade reporting with easy export options mapped to OneRoster (near-universal) requirements.
- Reduce time and effort in post-assignment approval and grading workflows
Overall Grade is viewable in the Activity View of the Gradebook.
Auto-grading
The Overall Grade is calculated as the average of available Formative Assessment scores. Activities are auto-graded based on Formative Assessment scores whenever available. The auto-graded symbol will appear next to the Overall Grade when auto-grading has occurred.
Teachers can also add (if blank) or override (if not blank) a score in the Overall Grade field in the student post. Scoring is on a numerical score of 0-100.
What values does the overall score support?
Numerical score from 0 - 100.
Will scores show up in any dashboards?
The overall score will not show up in any dashboards. The overall score will show in the current Gradebook.
Can teachers score both Overall Score and Standards on one assignment
Teachers can assign both an overall score and rate standards tagged on a student response.
Can teachers enter a score on their own?
Yes. Teachers can also override the scores we generate from Formative Assessments.
If there is not an auto-graded formative assessment on the activity, can teachers add a score?
Yes.
