Grade Graph (5-8 Only)
Only available at MIS and JH.
What is it?
It’s a customized purchased plugin that gives you a graphical snapshot of the students in your class. It usually runs every Sunday at around 3pm unless PS is doing an update.
How do I access it? (Entire Class)
For an entire class snapshot, from PowerTeacher Home click on the graph icon of the class that you want to see the graph of.
Working with Grade Graph - Class Level
This will only show you the grades for the duration of the class.
From the screenshot below above is the legend:
#1 and #2 - these are the start and end dates to start showing the student’s snapshots. Each datapoint represents a different day that the grades were saved.
#3 - You can view or hide students by clicking on their names in this box. (Note: If you change the dates, the students will all reappear again, and you’ll need to re-hide them again. So might be better to set this first then hide student(s) if necessary).
#4 - you can export or print this as needed.
Hovering over the different data points will show you what the grade was on that date along with the individual student names.
In the above screenshot we can see that student A has been in this class the entire school year so far, from 8/20/2023 through the latest data point (11/28). Compare to student B and C who both entered the class about a week apart from one another based on the grade points magically “appearing”.
How do I access it? (for an individual student)
For an individual student, from PowerTeacher Home, click on the student information ‘card’
Then, click on the first name of the student. Then in the main window, under the dropdown, click on “Grade Graph”.
Working with Grade Graph (invidual student)
Just like the whole class graph, you can turn the individual data points on or off by clicking on the class name in the legend box.
In the below screenshot point #1 ‘stops’ due to it being a Q1 only class, then we see point #2 is a diferent color because it’s a different class that presumably began in Q2 for the student.
#3 shows that you can turn the classes / on.
#4 - you can enter in an individual start / end date then only show those selected dates on the graph. In the below example, we’re only showing those graphed points between 9/1/2023 and 9/30/2023, which from the previous screenshot we see that the Q2 class (Communications of datapoint abvove #2) is not being shown on the graph.
#5 - you can show only the ‘full year’ (current year) term
#6 - you can then also see all the available dates that are stored for the student.
For example, I’m a math teacher so I want to see how this student (current 7th grader) has been “trending” since 5th grade in math classes. So I hit the button of “show all avaialble dates”, then I unselected all the other classes that don’t pertain to my subject of math, essentially hiding them.
In the above screenshot #1 and #2 are gaps in the graphs, but those are where summer occured.
