KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 8TH GRADE ONLY
Completing Social Development and Work Ethic
Step 1. Open Social Development and Work Ethic
You can reach it two ways: from the middle menu or from the side menu,
Explanation of Picture
- Choose the quarter: Pick the quarter you are working on. Elementary grades report by quarter only, so there is no semester option for these grades.
- Select the grade group: Choose the grade group you want to evaluate. The student grid for that group loads.
- Evaluate each student: The scale depends on grade level:
| Grade | Scale |
| Kindergarten | The kindergarten scale your school uses. Two options appear in the walkthrough: ESN or IPNT. |
| All other grades |
O = Outstanding S = Satisfactory N = Needs improvement |
4. Fill in the grid, one cell at a time or in bulk : You can complete marks individually. To save time, use the same shortcuts as the skills in your class area:
• Select a skill (for example, Demonstrates Respectful Behavior) to fill the whole row for that skill.
• Select the grading scale at the top of the grid to fill the entire grid.
Adjust any individual student afterward as needed.
- Add comments: Use the comment option to write a comment for a student. Comments appear on the AE Connect report card under the heading Social Development and Work Ethic.
- Post the skills : Evaluations do not reach the report card until you post them. Open the Action menu and choose Post skills.
Once posted, a green checkmark appears next to each skill. That checkmark confirms the skill is posted to the report card.
| Remember: marks and comments that are not posted will not show on the report card. Look for the green checkmarks before you finish. |
