Note: Most goal
based report cards are customized for each client due to the amount of
variations school/districts have. To request a custom goal based report
please contact SDS support. Below are instructions on how to setup your
system to use our standard goal base report in the system.
The Goal Based
Report is setup to be used for Elementary Report Cards and/or Standard Based
Report Cards.
The report works as follows:
•First -- finds the student and ID
•Second – finds the course/subject the student has been registered for
•Third -- finds the student’s gradebooks
•Fourth – finds the assignment date
•Fifth – finds the object key
•Sixth – finds that the assignment has been checked to report on the goal based report card
Basic Steps
1. Setup Course/s and Register Students
2. Setup Standard Goals and Objectives
3. Teacher enters a gradebook (i.e. Reading)
4. Teacher enters assignments/standards (i.e. Expresses Ideas Clearly).
When setting up assignments
place a check mark in the “Goal Based Reporting” box. This indicates that the
assignment will be included into the grade calculated for that
standard/objective/goal. If this is NOT done then it will not display on the
report card and will not be included into the calculation of the grade on the
report card. You also MUST select a Standard Goal and Objective from the
dropdown on the right or the assignment will be ignored on the report!
