-----Pro Tips-----

Assignment Detail Screen

Immediately after assigning a worksheet, you will be brought to the Assignment Detail Screen. On this screen you can monitor your students in real time while they are working on an assignment. This is beneficial if you notice a child is not engaged and time on task has passed and/or they are receiving a low score. You are also able to see if students need reteaching in real time!

Review Submission Screen

After clicking on ‘Review Submissions’ on the previous screen, this screen will appear. On this screen you can review your students' work. On the left-hand side you will see student information and grading options.

Score the Assignment 

Score type :

There are three ways in which you can grade a TeacherMade assignment. 

1. Auto - is the auto-scoring grade in which TeacherMade gives to your students after they submit their worksheets.

2. Auto + Teacher - allows the teacher to override the final score of the assignment by adding or removing points to both the total possible score or the total achieved by the student.

► Note: Changing the total possible only affects the score for the one assignment, not for the assignment as a whole. 

• This is great to use for: 

  • Extra Credit 

  • Giving points for work shown 

3. Custom - this is strictly where you give the student a score based on performance.

• Final Score: TeacherMade will calculate the final score the student receives.
