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. Archiving an assignment moves it from the Current tab to the Archived tab in the Assignment list view. This allows you to tidy away assignments you’ve finished working on. The archiving functionality helps you to organise your assignments. Any assignment that has reached its due date can be archived.

Yes, there is a toggle at the top left of your screen that allows you to choose between scores and percentages. I can’t see RAG coding when I look at the marks for an assignment. Why not?

ILR Data Analyser

Use quality-assured classroom assessment data as the evidence behind subject and school-level dataanalysis

One of my biggest frustrations as a teacher was having to use paper-based record systems, and later Word or Excel, which ended up messy, time-consuming, often unreliable and not reflective of my evaluation. In My Markbook, you can record what you want, how and when you want to record it. You can customise your markbook for individual classes and enter the results of all assessments, using our pre-defined assessment types or ones you create yourself, so you can monitor pupils’ ongoing progress in a way that suits you and your class. 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?
I’ve been working in the education sector for more than 25 years, and spent time working as a teacher. I remember all too well the challenges that came with assessing pupil’s progress and recording that in a paper based or separate computer systems – it wasn’t just difficult to keep everything organised, it was also practically impossible to align the evidence you had recorded with other important information about the pupils you taught. These challenges are exactly why our SIMS Next Gen My Markbook is so exciting. 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.Make sure you complete all parts / tiers. Assessment publishers can set up markbooks to have multiple parts (e.g. if you set an assessment with a part 1 and part 2), and/or tiers (e.g. if you have a "Foundation" and a "Higher" option). If any of those options are enabled, you will see a dropdown in the top right which will allow you to switch between those options. You'll need to ensure all tiers and parts are completed to be able to submit a markbook. Once an assignment has reached its due date, you can archive it. The ‘archive’ button appears in two places: on the group assignment item listing and the assignment item overlay – overview tab. You can also use the ‘archive all’ button at the top of the Current tab to archive all items past their due date. Find out more on Archiving here. What if I’ve archived an item by mistake/changed my mind? Finally, I've updated the code for the grades so that if you enter an 'N' in the mark column, it won't assign a grade.
