4. Strategy
 In order to make the most of any tool
you need a clear idea of why you’re using
it.
 The gradebook needs to fit in to your
department’s assessment policy
 Assessment for learning

5. Categories
 What should your categories be?
 Some examples
◦ Time based – Term 1, Term 2
◦ Topic based – Weather, Volcanoes
◦ Tutor based – ELA, PPA, BVE
◦ Type based – Coursework, homework, tests
◦ “Essentialness” based – Core, voluntary
 You can have nested categories, but it
can get confusing!
