6. Pre-Training Setup Requirements
Be sure that the school setup as covered in earlier training sessions has been completed. Some areas of particular note as pertaining to the gradebook setup are as follows:
Transcript definitions have been assigned to courses
Grade terms have been created
School calendar is initialized
Teachers are assigned to courses with students
A school comment bank has been created or converted and assigned to courses if comment banks are to be used

7. Areas of Consideration for Gradebook
Some areas to be considered as they relate to the setup and use of the teacher gradebook are worth noting here:
Will districts or schools be using locally developed transcript definition attributes?
Will the chosen transcript definitions be calculated and if so, will teachers be allowed to modify weights?
Does the district or school require a particular method of gradebook mark calculation, ie. default weighting?
Is there a district or school standard for the mark scale used with the Gradebook?
Might the district or school be using the student/family portal during the school year?
Have teacher user accounts been setup and assigned with the appropriate role(s)?
