Teacher Markbook: Class Record Book, Grade Book, Attendance Log Book, Perfect Gift for Teachers (Teacher Markbooks)

Product Information

A teacher’s time is precious, and My Markbook saves that valuable time by keeping you up to date with changes like pupil premium or SEND, so you can be ready for any resulting differences in lesson planning or preparation. Like the rest of our SIMS Next Gen products, My Markbook accesses all the student data stored in SIMS, and automatically syncs with SIMS to give you instant, real-time information from across the school. Teachers can view a list of students in any of their classes and add extra columns to the markbook to see contextual student information alongside their results.

In brief, you enter the student’s raw marks for any assessment and the markbook uses sophisticated analysis to present you with all the data you’d want to see on an individual student or whole classes.All the data from your archived assignments is still available to report on in the Reports tab. How can I archive an assignment?

Here is a key for the symbols: Can I view marks as percentages instead of scores in the Group Task Report? Instant in situ analysis as soon as marks are entered – no more exporting/importing and no moredelays

More SchoolEdge solutions

Moving something to the Archived tab doesn’t change its status or prevent you from marking the assignment. It is just organising the assignment items into two lists (Current and Archived). I am so excited that My Markbook is the first of many upcoming SIMS Next Gen Secondary Assessment products, which will free up data managers’ time and make recording standard and ad-hoc assessment data really easy for teachers. Markbooks are accessed from the "Markbooks" tab. Here you will find all markbooks that have been assigned to classes you teach. If you're an administrator, you'll also see all markbooks from your school or MAT.

You can use copy-paste to enter marks. We know that it can save time to be able to copy-paste marks. So we've enabled copy-paste on all our markbooks, allowing you to copy in marks from a spreadsheet, or copy-paste between cells. Just use CTRL+C (PC) / CMD + C (Mac) to copy, and CTRL+V (PC) / CMD + V (Mac) to do so. Supports Foundation, Intermediate and Higher tier students in the same class and will limit grades accordingly.

A smarter way of working

Yes. All results are fed through to the Reports tab regardless of whether the students have completed the assignment (an empty cell denotes ‘not completed’) — or whether the teacher has marked the assignment (an em-dash denotes ‘awaiting marking’). I still can’t see the results for my assignment in the Reports tab. Why not? You can see student characteristics by using the "Characteristics" slider. At the top left of the markbook, there is a slider labelled "Characteristics". Moving this to the "on" position will show the characteristics of your students, such as their gender, pupil premium, EAL and SEN status. You can enter marks at question level or at whole grade level. This article explains how this feature works. I really like the fact this is a single markbook with all features and whilst on first appearance the markbook looks really useful, since using it, there are a number of flaws that have appeared which given the initial cost are disappointing. When entering scores, I often use a code such as ‘nh’ for no homework in place of a numerical score. This has the effect of awarding an ‘star’ for that homework and thereby affecting the overall grade. Would it be possible to allow for letter codes to go in as well?
