Audience: Teachers with 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 or edit grades (which incorporate auto-graded formative assessment whenever possible). Grades become visible to students and families upon approval.
The Overall grade is displayed in the Gradebook in the Activities view.
Feature Overview
- Empower teachers to summarize student performance with flexible, per-activity overall grades.

Viewing Overall Grade
Overall Grade is viewable in the Activities View of the Gradebook. The Overall Grade is calculated as the average of available Formative Assessment scores.
How to grade Activities
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.
Reviewing and Changing Overall Grade
Teachers can review work in the Activity 1-up View, and the Student Post 1-up View. From there, teachers can also modify Overall Grade.
