Today was a busy and long day for me as I spent all of my planning time and one hour after school helping Lisa with different things. I began by helping our 6th grade curriculum leaders set up their gradebooks. The purpose behind this training was to set grade weights so that teachers may begin to enter grades into our new gradebook. The curriculum leaders will then assist the grade level teachers to set up their gradebook. Although I am not a curriculum leader, I will be leading this training for the language arts department tomorrow (8/14) during our weekly meeting.
My next task was to fix unscannable barcodes on the textbooks. Students received their textbooks last week, so any textbooks that were unable to be scanned were left in a stack for me to fix. In order to fix these textbooks, I looked up the current barcode in the textbook database, scanned in the new barcode, and attached the new barcode. These books are now ready to be scanned out to students!
At the end of the day, I scanned in the 6th grade language arts pretests. This was a time consuming task, and I now understand how much time Lisa spends at a computer just to scan in and record tests for us! We use a program called Testgate to scan in answers sheets. After successful scans, scores are then recorded into Elements where teachers can analyze data to guide instruction.
