Find at-risk students, missing work and the grading backlog
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 10 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to find at-risk students, missing work and the grading backlog
- 1Click Classes in the Learning section of the sidebar and open your class
- 2Click Gradebook at the top right of the class page
- 3Click Analytics beside Gradebook at the top; it opens on the same grading period, and the dropdown beside it switches periods (Analytics is also under More on the class page)
- 4Read "Class average" (average, median, spread, range) and "Grade distribution" by band
- 5"At risk" lists everyone below the line, lowest first; the line starts at the lowest passing band on your grade scale
- 6Type a higher percent in the At risk box and click Apply to move the line; nothing is saved
- 7"Top performers" lists everyone in your top band
- 8"Missing work" counts past-due work with no score that isn't excused, the same count families see in the portal; click a name to open that child
- 9"Hardest assignments" shows the work with the lowest class averages
- 10Under "Grading backlog", see each past-due assignment with scores left to enter, then click Open the gradebook
