A gradebook, whether physical or digital, stores your students’ grades and can show progress over time.
Most electronic versions allow students to view them, along with teacher comments and calculations in real time.
Gradebooks are essential to any instructor, but they are truly essential to ensuring student satisfaction and transparency.
When students have detailed information about their grades, it allows them to review past material while preparing for the next lesson. It can also prompt them to seek out additional help before it’s too late.
Overall, gradebooks hold students accountable for their own progress while committing instructors to providing assignment updates in a timely manner.
