Assessment & reporting

Capture learning evidence easily across all of K-6 and 7-12, share with parents and report against regional requirements.

A feature-rich gradebook

Edsby’s advanced gradebook gives teachers a modern way to accept submissions electronically (from within Edsby, from Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive) record assessments, report grades to the office and share results with students and parents.

Teachers can make summative and formative assessments, enter subjective comments, set powerful weighting, design and reuse rubrics and even exercise professional judgment to impact grades. As grades are entered, averages and distributions are calculated. Failing and missed grades are highlighted, and abnormalities indicated. Graphical analyses illustrate student work across timelines and help identify outliers. Subjective performance indicators can substitute for grades.

Observations and evidence

Teachers can make observations and capture learning evidence in notes, pictures and videos to help in their triangulation of a student’s progress. Observations and evidence can be shared with other teachers and parents and organized for reference at report card time. Invaluable for evaluation of early year students.

Edsby allows me to record learning without disrupting the flow of student work. I can capture a wealth of pedagogical documentation in the moment without having to frame an unauthentic shot after the learning has occurred.
